Why choose us in Montpellier?
Why choose graffiti for your next school activity? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s a gateway to self-expression and teamwork. Here’s why schools in Montpellier love working with us:
- Inclusivity First: Street art doesn't care if you're "good at drawing." Every student can contribute and feel proud of the final result. 🎤
- Hands-On Learning: We mix history and technique with physical activity, keeping even the most restless students fully engaged.
- Confidence Booster: Seeing a 2-metre high mural they helped create gives students a massive sense of achievement.
- Professional Guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they are great communicators who know how to inspire young minds. 💪
- Zero Stress for Teachers: We bring all the gear, manage the setup, and ensure everything stays safe and tidy.
How it works
- Initial Consultation: Contact us to discuss your school's goals, group size, and any specific themes you want to explore.
- Design Brainstorming: Students start by sketching their ideas on paper, learning about letter types and colour theory.
- Safety First: Our artists give a full briefing on how to use the equipment safely and hand out protective gear.
- Technique Demo: We show the kids the ropes—from "fat caps" for filling to "skinny caps" for sharp outlines.
- The First Lines: Students head to the wall or canvas to practice their basic strokes under expert guidance.
- Filling & Colour: The fun begins as the mural starts to come to life with vibrant bursts of Montpellier-inspired colour.
- Adding Detail: We teach the tricks of the trade, like highlights, shadows, and 3D effects to make the art pop.
- The Big Reveal: We finish with a group photo and a debrief where students can share what they've learned.
- Cleanup: Our team handles the pack-up, leaving your school grounds as tidy as we found them (except for the beautiful new art!).

Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paints that are low-odour and as eco-friendly as possible. We also provide all necessary safety equipment, including gloves, high-quality masks, and protective overalls to keep school uniforms clean. Our professional artists supervise every second of the session to ensure all students follow safety protocols while having a blast. Safety and fun go hand-in-hand here in Montpellier.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, palm pressure, and simple lines—before moving onto more complex techniques. Many students are surprised at how quickly they can create something impressive. It’s all about building confidence and showing them that everyone has an inner artist waiting to be unleashed.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
While we love working outdoors in the beautiful French sunshine, we have plenty of backup plans! We can set up mobile graffiti walls in school halls or gyms using floor protection. We also offer 'street art on canvas' workshops that can be held in a standard classroom with proper ventilation. No matter the weather in Montpellier, the creative show must go on!
What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?
We recommend groups of 15 to 30 students per artist to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and time with the spray cans. However, we have a large team and can easily accommodate entire year groups or the whole school by rotating classes throughout the day. We’re flexible and can scale the experience to fit your specific educational needs.
How long does a typical workshop last?
A standard school session typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the introduction, safety briefing, sketch phase, and the main painting event. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your school’s existing timetable or offer full-day 'art intensives' if you're looking for a more in-depth experience for GCSE or A-Level students.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Yes, definitely! We can work with you to incorporate specific school values, historical themes, or even subjects like ecology or literature into the mural. This makes the workshop a powerful cross-curricular tool. Whether it's a 'green' wall for Earth Day or a mural celebrating Montpellier's history, we’ll help the students design something truly meaningful.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
We generally recommend our graffiti workshops for children aged 8 and up (Key Stage 2 and above). At this age, they have the physical strength to press the spray nozzles and the focus to follow safety instructions. For younger children, we can offer modified street art workshops using markers and stencils so nobody has to miss out on the creative fun.
