How it works
- Initial briefing: We start with a fun introduction to graffiti culture and essential safety rules.
- Sketching ideas: Students grab paper and pencils to map out their tags or 'pieces' before hitting the wall.
- Spray can basics: Our pros teach the 'can-control'—how to hold, shake, and spray for different effects.
- Line work practice: Students practice making thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fades on a practice surface.
- The main creation: Time to go big! Students start applying their designs to the main wall or individual canvases.
- Filling and fading: We show the kids how to fill in their shapes and create cool 3D gradients.
- Outlining: The 'pop' factor—adding sharp outlines to make the artwork stand out from the background.
- Final touches: Adding shines, highlights, and secondary sparkles to finish the masterpiece.
- Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the work with a big group photo before packing up the gear.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure the spray cans are used correctly. We typically work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large indoor spaces that meet safety standards, making it a perfectly secure environment for a school trip or on-site activity.
Where in Nantes do these workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at a location of your choice in Nantes—like your school playground or a local sports field—provided we have permission. Alternatively, we can arrange for the group to meet at one of Nantes' legal graffiti zones to give the students a truly authentic street art experience in a public setting.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, practice basic spraying techniques, and allow every student to complete their own masterpiece. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your morning or afternoon sessions perfectly.
Do students need to have prior drawing or art skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our expert artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps so that every student, regardless of their artistic ability, feels confident. It’s all about expression and having fun with the medium, rather than creating a 'perfect' piece of art on the first try.
Do we need to pay in advance for the booking?
We believe in total transparency and trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your school workshop. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is happy with the results. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and educational institutions handling budgets.
What materials are included in the workshop price?
We provide everything needed for a creative explosion! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surfaces to paint on (either a collective wall or individual canvases). We even bring the inspiration! The only thing the students need to bring is their enthusiasm and some 'old' clothes they don't mind getting a bit of dust on.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Nantes is famous for its rain, but that won't stop the art! If the weather looks bad, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. Alternatively, because we have a large team of backup artists, we can easily reschedule your session to a sunnier day without any hassle for the school.
