How it works
- Introduction and history: We start with a high energy talk about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into modern street art.
- Safety first: Every student gets kitted out with professional masks and gloves while we explain the rules of the spray can.
- Mastering the nozzle: Students learn the basics: how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to create clean lines versus misty fades.
- Sketching the vision: Before the paint flies, we guide the students in sketching their ideas on paper to plan their layout and colours.
- First layers: The action begins! Students start applying their base colours to the canvas under the watchful eyes of our pros.
- Adding the details: We teach advanced tricks like 'cutting' edges, adding highlights, and creating shadows to make the art pop.
- The final outline: This is the magic moment where the whole piece comes together with a sharp, bold outline.
- Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the students' hard work with a big group photo in front of their masterpiece before we tidy everything up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school session in Mexico City. We provide high quality gloves and protective masks to ensure students breathe easy. We also use premium spray paint and conduct a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. Our artists are trained to supervise large groups, making sure the environment remains creative, respectful, and completely safe for all participants.
Can you host the workshop at our school premises?
We are incredibly flexible when it comes to locations. We can host the workshop right on your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well ventilated indoor area. Alternatively, we can arrange for your group to visit one of our cool street art spots in Mexico City. Our team brings all the necessary floor protection to ensure we leave the school site exactly as we found it.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our workshops typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. For schools, we often recommend a 2 hour session as it provides the perfect balance of theory, practice, and the final creation. However, we can easily adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school timetable or double period block. Just let us know your requirements and we will make it work seamlessly for your students.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
The beauty of street art is that it is for everyone! We have tailored programmes for primary school children, secondary students, and even university groups. For younger kids, we focus more on simple shapes and fun colours, while older students can dive into complex techniques and the historical context of the movement. We adjust our teaching style and the technical difficulty based on the age of your group.
Do we need to provide any materials?
Everything is included in the package so you do not have to worry about a thing. We provide all the spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces for painting. Whether we are painting on large plastic canvases, wooden panels, or a designated wall, Graffitifun brings all the gear. Your students just need to bring their enthusiasm and some old clothes they do not mind getting dusty.
What are the payment terms for schools?
We believe in a no pressure booking process for educational institutions. You do not need to pay anything upfront when you book your session. We send the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This allows schools to manage their budgets easily and ensures you are 100 percent satisfied with the creative experience we delivered before any payment is made. It is all about building trust!
What happens if an artist is unavailable on the day?
We have a large team of professional artists and backup experts ready to go. This means that even in the rare event of an artist falling ill, we have a replacement ready to step in. Your school event is safe with us and we pride ourselves on never cancelling scheduled workshops. We understand how much planning goes into school trips and we guarantee that your workshop will go ahead as planned.
