How it works
- Intro & Culture: We kick things off with a high-energy chat about the history of graffiti and its evolution into modern street art.
- Safety First: Students get kitted out in protective gear and learn the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely.
- Can Control: Our artists demonstrate different nozzles (caps) and how to control pressure, distance, and angle.
- Sketching Session: Before spraying, students head to the drawing board to plan their designs and letter structures.
- First Lines: Under our guidance, students start applying their first layers of paint to the wall or canvas.
- Filling & Fading: We teach the 'fill-in' technique and how to create cool gradients and colour blends.
- The Outline: This is where the art pops! We show the kids how to add sharp outlines to define their work.
- Finishing Touches: Highlights, 'force fields', and final details are added to make the masterpiece complete.
- Final Reflection: The group steps back to admire their collective work and grab some epic photos!

Frequently asked questions
Are the spray cans and materials safe for school students?
Our workshops are designed with safety as the primary focus. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, nitrile gloves, and protective suits to keep school uniforms clean. We only use professional aerosols in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor halls. All our artists are DBS-checked (or local equivalent) and highly experienced in managing large groups of students, ensuring a controlled, productive, and safe environment throughout the entire creative process.
Will this workshop encourage students to spray graffiti elsewhere?
Actually, it's quite the opposite! By teaching students the history of street art and giving them a legal, creative outlet, we find they develop a deeper respect for their community. Our workshops emphasize the difference between illegal vandalism and professional street art. We focus on 'art with a purpose', teaching kids that their voices can be heard through talent and technique rather than destructive behavior. It's a great lesson in civic responsibility.
How long does a typical school workshop in Lima last?
A standard school session typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history and culture, a safety briefing, spray technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a standard school day morning or afternoon block, or even run multiple shorter sessions for different year groups.
What is the maximum number of students who can participate?
We can accommodate almost any group size! For typical class sizes of 20-30, we provide one or two professional artists. For entire year groups or school-wide events, we can bring in a larger team of artists to manage up to 100+ students simultaneously. We break larger groups into smaller 'crews' to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the cans and personal instruction. We never let a student feel left out of the creative process.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural or artwork?
We are incredibly flexible! We can focus on specific curriculum themes like environmental awareness, local Peruvian history, or social justice. Alternatively, we can work with the students to create a 'legacy mural' that represents the school's core values. If you're looking for something more individual, students can create their own 'tag' or piece on a personal canvas to take home, which is always a big hit with parents!
How does the booking and payment process work for schools?
We don't require any payment before the workshop takes place! We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay once the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept bank transfers and provide full invoicing for school accounts. Additionally, we have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a session being cancelled last minute due to illness.
