How it works
- Intro and Inspiration: Our professional artist kicks off the day with a brief history of graffiti culture and a look at different styles.
- Safety First: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the golden rules of using spray cans safely and responsibly.
- Sketching the Vision: Before touching the wall, students grab paper and pencils to plan their letters, characters, or tags.
- Nozzle Knowledge: Pupils learn about 'caps' (nozzles) and how they change the thickness and flow of the paint.
- First Lines: It's time to spray! Students practice basic techniques like 'filling' and 'layering' on a practice surface.
- The Masterpiece: Armed with confidence, the group moves on to the main artwork, applying their design to the final wall or canvas.
- The Finishing Touches: We help students add 'shadows' and 'highlights' to make their artwork pop and look truly professional.
- Group Photo and Review: We celebrate the creativity with a group photo in front of the finished work — a perfect memory for the school yearbook!

Pricing
Every school workshop is a bespoke experience, and our pricing reflects the flexibility you need. Our rates typically range from €35 to €70 per person, depending on the number of students, the duration of the session, and the materials required (e.g., if you want every student to have a canvas to take home!).
The best part? No upfront payment is required. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're thrilled with the results. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your activities week.
Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Yes, safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing, explaining how to use the spray cans correctly. We also ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a designated indoor space that meets all safety standards, making it perfectly safe for school groups.
Can you adapt the workshop for different age groups?
Absolutely! We tailor our school workshops to the age and skill level of the students. For younger pupils, we focus more on simple shapes, colour mixing, and fun patterns. For secondary school students, we dive deeper into technical skills like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'highlights'. The difficulty is adjusted on the fly to ensure everyone stays engaged, feels successful, and has a fantastic time.
Where does the workshop take place?
Ideally, we need a legal graffiti wall or a designated outdoor space at your school. If you don't have one, don't worry! We can set up mobile wooden panels or use large canvases. We are very experienced in setting up temporary 'pop-up' studios that leave no mess behind. If your school doesn't have a suitable spot, we can often suggest public legal walls in Luxembourg City.
What should students wear?
The spray paint we use is high-quality and fast-drying, but it is permanent! While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend that students wear 'old clothes' and shoes they don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. Sometimes the excitement leads to a few stray drips, and it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your favourite trainers!
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This includes the introduction, safety briefing, sketching phase, several 'practice' rounds on the wall, and the final creation of the masterpiece. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school's existing timetable or double-period schedule. Just let us know what works best for your curriculum!
Do students have to work individually?
Not at all! Many schools hire us to create a collaborative mural where students work together on a large-scale project. This is a brilliant way to promote teamwork and school spirit. Whether you want 30 individual boards or one giant wall that stays at the school as a permanent piece of art, we can make it happen. It’s all about your vision.
How does the payment process work for schools?
We appreciate that school budgets and schedules can be complex! That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your workshop to secure the date and artist, and the payment is only handled after the event has successfully taken place. This keeps the process stress-free for teachers and administrators while ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the result.
