How it works
- Intro and history: We kick things off with a brief, energetic talk about the roots of graffiti culture and how it evolved into modern street art.
- Safety briefing: Students are fitted with protective gear and taught the 'golden rules' of using spray cans responsibly and safely.
- Mastering the nozzle: Our artists demonstrate different caps and pressure techniques. Students start by practicing basic lines, dots, and fades on practice boards.
- Sketching the vision: Before hitting the main wall, students plan their designs on paper, focusing on letter structure, 'tags', and 'throw-ups'.
- The first layer: Time to go big! Students start filling in the large shapes of the group mural or their individual canvases under expert guidance.
- Outline and detail: This is where the art pops. We teach students how to add sharp outlines and highlights to make their work look professional.
- Creative finishing touches: Students add 'bubbles', 'stars', or 'drips' to personalise their work and add that authentic street art flair.
- The big reveal: We take a moment to admire the collective work, snap group photos, and discuss the creative journey the students just completed.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are water-based or low-solvent where possible, and we always conduct school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large indoor spaces with proper airflow. Our instructors are trained to supervise students closely throughout the entire session.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop in Lille usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides enough time for a solid introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. However, we are totally flexible! If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can condense the session or expand it into a full-day creative project.
What is the maximum group size for a school booking?
We can accommodate almost any group size! For schools, we often work with single classes of 20-30 students, but we can also manage entire year groups by rotating sessions or bringing in multiple artists. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we can scale the event up or down to suit your specific educational needs.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Lille's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. If you don’t have a suitable space on-site, we can discuss rescheduling or alternative locations. We always aim to ensure the fun doesn't stop just because of a few raindrops!
Do the students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists are great at breaking down complex mural techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on boosting student confidence and showing them that everyone has a creative spark. By the end of the day, even the most hesitant students are usually surprised by what they've created.
Can the students take their artwork home with them?
While we often work on large collective murals or temporary plastic 'cellograff' walls at the school, students can also create individual pieces on canvas or cardboard to take home. We find that having a physical piece of art to keep really boosts their sense of achievement. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can bring the right materials!
