Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for younger students?
Safety is our number one priority! We provide every student with high-quality protective gear, including overall suits, gloves, and specialised masks to filter out fumes. Our professional artists supervise every single spray, ensuring the cans are used correctly and responsibly. Additionally, we only use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for beginners to control, making the experience safe, fun, and worry-free for teachers and parents alike.
Where in Leuven do these school workshops take place?
We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at your school grounds in Leuven if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the group to visit a legal 'Graffiti Zone' in the city or a private studio space. We use plastic sheeting and protective boards to ensure the school property stays clean while the students get creative with their spray cans.
How long does a typical school session last?
The typical duration for a school workshop is between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, a drawing and design phase, and plenty of time for every student to actually use the spray cans on their own masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit perfectly within your school's specific timetable or triple-period blocks.
Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?
Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'Sustainability,' 'Diversity,' or 'Our Future.' Our artists can help the students brainstorm ways to represent these concepts visually. It’s a fantastic way to link the workshop to other subjects like Geography, History, or Social Studies, making the art session both a creative outlet and a meaningful educational lesson.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We recommend groups of at least 10 to 15 students to get the best energy, but we can accommodate very large year groups as well. For larger groups, we bring in multiple professional artists and set up several workstations to ensure every student gets plenty of individual attention and hands-on time with the spray cans. No student is ever left just standing around watching!
Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?
Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective clothing (suits, gloves, masks), professional-grade canvases or boards, and expert guidance from our artists. You don't need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm and some old shoes. We even take care of the setup and the cleanup afterwards, leaving you with nothing but great memories.
