How it works
- Intro & Street Art History: We start with a cool look at how graffiti evolved from its New York roots to the vibrant walls of Marseille's Le Panier.
- Health & Safety Brief: Safety first! Students get kitted out in masks and gloves while learning how to use the equipment responsibly.
- Mastering the Can: Our pros demonstrate basic techniques—lines, dots, and pressure control—before the students give it a go.
- Sketching the Vision: Groups work together to brainstorm their theme and sketch their big ideas onto the boards or canvases.
- Outline & Layering: The real fun begins as students start "walking" the spray cans to create the skeletons of their designs.
- Fill-ins & Colour Theory: We teach students how to blend colours and create gradients that make their graffiti pop.
- The Sharpening: Adding highlights and "cuts" to make the artwork look professional and sharp.
- The Big Reveal: We finish with a group showcase and photos of the masterpiece created by your talented students!

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including FFP3 masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise school groups and ensure everyone uses the spray cans correctly in a well-ventilated outdoor or indoor space. We take care of the mess so you can focus on the creativity and fun!
Where in Marseille do the workshops take place?
We are fully mobile! We can bring the street art experience directly to your school playground or sports field in Marseille. If you'd prefer to get out of the classroom, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at one of our vibrant local street art hotspots or partner locations. We’re flexible and work around your school's logistical needs.
How long does a typical school session last?
Typically, a school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, practice sessions, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can easily adapt the timing to fit into your school’s lesson blocks or dedicated activity days.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical control needed to handle the spray cans effectively. We can adapt our teaching style for different age groups, ensuring that both primary school leavers and secondary students find the session engaging and challenging.
Do students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional artist-mentors guide students through every step, from basic 'tagging' and lines to advanced filling techniques. It’s often the students who think they aren't 'artistic' who end up surprising themselves the most with what they create on the canvas.
How much does a school workshop cost in Marseille?
Prices generally range from €30 to €65 per student, but this varies based on the total group size and the specific setup you require. Because we don't require upfront payments and we offer backup artist protection, you get peace of mind along with great value. Contact us for a bespoke quote tailored to your school's budget.
What materials are included in the price?
Everything! We provide the spray paint, canvases (or boards), protective clothing, and expert instruction. We also bring the drop cloths to keep your school grounds clean.
