How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear 🛡️.
- Idea Sketching: Students grab pencils and paper to brainstorm their tags and designs, learning the basics of letter structure.
- Cap Technique: Our artists demonstrate different 'caps' (nozzles) and how they control line width and texture.
- Practice Lines: Before hitting the final piece, students practice their flow and pressure on a test surface to get a feel for the can.
- Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! Students start filling in their designs with vibrant colours and bold outlines 🎨.
- Adding Details: We teach students how to add highlights, lowlights, and "3D" effects to make their work pop off the canvas.

Pricing
We believe in transparent pricing that works for school budgets. Our workshops in Mons generally range from €25 to €55 per student.
Your final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether you'd like the students to work on individual canvases or a large communal mural. The more students, the lower the price per head! 📉

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large school groups and ensure that all equipment is used correctly. We choose outdoor or well-ventilated locations in Mons to ensure everyone enjoys a healthy and creative environment while they paint.
Where in Mons do the workshops take place?
We are incredibly flexible and mobile. We can host the workshop at various legal graffiti zones in Mons, such as the dedicated urban spaces near the city centre. Alternatively, if your school has a suitable outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space, we can bring the entire street art studio to you! We provide all the floor protection and materials needed to keep your premises clean.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, safety briefing, drawing practice, and the actual spray painting session. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or double-period slots. Whatever your schedule looks like, we'll make it work for your students.
Do students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Most students have never touched a spray can before, and that is perfectly fine. Our artists guide them through the basics, from "fat caps" to fine lines. By the end of the session, every student will have created something they can be proud of, regardless of their previous artistic experience.
What materials are included in the price?
Everything is included! We provide professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and canvases or boards to paint on. We also bring sketching materials for the design phase. Your school doesn't need to provide anything except for the excited students and a space to work in. We handle all the prep and cleanup.
Do the students actually get to spray paint themselves?
Yes, we believe in 'learning by doing'. After a quick demonstration, students get to work on their own projects. We often conclude sessions by having the class collaborate on one large mural that can be displayed back at school. This fosters teamwork and gives them a lasting memory of their creative day out in Mons. Every student gets plenty of 'can-time'.
What are the costs for a school workshop in Mons?
Our pricing is volume-based, typically ranging from €25 to €55 per person. For schools in Mons, we offer special rates for larger groups or multiple classes booked on the same day. Because every school project is unique, we recommend using our online cost calculator or requesting a custom quote so we can give you the best possible price for your budget.
