How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art history and a vital safety briefing regarding gear and paint usage.
- The Art of the Tag: Students learn the basics of lettering and 'tags'—the foundation of all graffiti art—using markers or practice cans.
- Can Control 101: Our artists demonstrate how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths and effects.
- Sketching the Concept: Whether it's a school theme or individual names, we help students sketch out their designs on the painting surface.
- Filling & Fading: This is where the magic happens! Students learn how to fill shapes and create cool colour gradients and 'fades'.
- Outlining & Highlights: We teach the 'power line' technique to make the art pop, adding highlights and shadows for a 3D effect.
- The Final Masterpiece: Everyone puts the finishing touches on their work, creating a vibrant collective mural or individual panels.
- Photos & Cleanup: We take group photos with the artwork for the school blog or newsletter, then handle all the packing and cleaning.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. we use low-odour professional spray paint and provide all participants with high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artists are experienced in managing school groups and ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We've hosted thousands of students across Europe with a 100% safety record. Namur schools can rest easy knowing they are in professional hands.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
The ideal duration for a school workshop in Namur is usually 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. However, we are flexible! We can condense the session into a 90-minute 'taster' or expand it into a full-day creative project if you're looking for a deeper dive into urban culture.
Do we come to you, or do you come to our school?
We can host workshops at your school premises in Namur or at one of our dedicated creative spots. If we come to you, all we need is an outdoor space (like a playground or parking area) with good ventilation. We take care of all the protection for the floors and walls, ensuring we leave the site exactly as we found it—except for the beautiful art on the boards!
What if the students (or teachers) aren't 'artistic'?
Don't worry, that is part of the fun! Most students start the session feeling a bit nervous about their drawing skills. Our professional artists break everything down into simple, manageable steps. We teach 'can control' and layering techniques that help anyone create something they are proud of. It is about expression and confidence, not just being a perfect illustrator. Everyone leaves with a smile!
How much does a workshop cost per student?
For school groups in Namur, pricing typically ranges between €25 and €55 per student. The final cost depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the materials used (for example, if students are painting on individual canvases to take home or a large collective mural). We offer special rates for larger educational groups—just ask us for a custom quote!
What should students wear on the day?
We recommend comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! It is best to wear old sneakers and layers, especially since most workshops take place outdoors to ensure proper ventilation. We'll provide everything else, from the paint to the inspiration.
What is the minimum age for a workshop?
We usually work with students from age 10 and up. This is because the spray cans require a certain level of hand strength and coordination, and the safety masks need to fit properly. For high school students and university groups in Namur, we can adjust the complexity of the workshop to include more advanced stencil work, typography, and color theory, making it a truly educational experience.
