How it works
- Intro & Street Art History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved from the streets to the galleries.
- Safety First: Every student gets geared up in a protective suit, gloves, and a mask. We explain the 'dos and don'ts' of using spray cans properly.
- First Lines: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn basic techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and creating 'dots' on a practice wall.
- The Big Design: Working in small groups or individually, students sketch out their masterpiece, focusing on letters, characters, or school-themed concepts.
- Filling in the Colours: This is where the magic happens! Students start layering vibrant colours and learning how to blend them for that professional look.
- The Finishing Touches: We help students add 'highlights' and 'shadows' to make their artwork pop and look truly 3D.
- Group Photo & Review: We wrap up by admiring the collective gallery and taking awesome photos of the class with their final spray-painted creations.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional FFP3 masks for every student and teacher. Our workshops in Nijmegen are always led by experienced professionals who supervise the use of spray cans and ensure everyone follows safety protocols. It is a controlled, creative environment where the only 'danger' is having too much fun!
Where in Nijmegen does the workshop take place?
We are totally mobile! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Nijmegen if you have a suitable outdoor space. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at a legal graffiti wall in the city. Since we use professional materials, we just need a bit of space and ventilation to let the students' creativity run wild. We bring everything to you!
How long does a typical school session last?
A typical school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on spraying time. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your school’s specific timetable or 'project day' schedule to make things easier for you.
What is the minimum age for students?
We recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up. It requires a certain amount of finger strength to operate the spray cans and a level of focus to follow the artist's instructions. For younger groups, we can adapt the session with lighter pressure cans or different creative street art activities to ensure everyone leaves with a smile.
Do the students need any prior drawing experience?
Not at all! Our expert artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, how to control the pressure, and how to create clean lines. Whether a student is a natural-born artist or hasn't picked up a pencil in years, they will be amazed at what they can create by the end of the session.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Nijmegen weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got it covered. If the weather is truly bad, we can move the workshop indoors to a gym or hall, provided we use our special low-odour water-based cans and plenty of floor protection. We also have backup dates available and a large team of artists to ensure your school event goes ahead as planned.
