How it works
- Introduction & History: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture and how it evolved from the streets to the galleries.
- Safety First: Every student gets geared up in protective suits, masks, and gloves while learning the 'dos and don'ts' of aerosol art.
- Sketching the Vision: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their designs, learning about 'tags', 'throw-ups', and 'pieces'.
- Nozzle Knowledge: A hands-on demo on how to control the spray can, manage pressure, and switch between different 'caps' for different effects.
- The First Layer: Under the guidance of our pros, students begin applying the base colours to their shared wall or individual canvases.
- Detailing & Outlining: This is where the magic happens! We teach the techniques for sharp outlines and making the art 'pop' with highlights.
- Creative Collaboration: Students work together to fill in the background, ensuring the entire mural looks like one cohesive masterpiece.
- The Big Reveal: A final walkthrough where students present their work, followed by a group photo to celebrate their creative achievement.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large groups, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour, professional-grade paints when possible. It is a controlled environment designed to be both thrilling and completely safe for all age groups.
Can the workshop take place on school grounds?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you want us to bring the 'mobile studio' to your school playground in Novo Mesto or you'd prefer to visit one of our cool urban locations, we can make it happen. Most schools prefer us to come to them to save on transport costs. All we need is an outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area to get started.
What age groups are these educational workshops suitable for?
Graffiti is for everyone! We tailer our instruction based on the age group. For primary school students, we focus more on simple shapes, fun characters, and colour blending. For secondary school students and teens, we dive deeper into technical 'piece' building, shadows, 3D effects, and the history of the subculture. Our artists know exactly how to keep every age level engaged and inspired.
How long does a typical school session last?
While we recommend a minimum of 1.5 to 2 hours to really get into the flow, we can adapt the schedule to fit your school timetable. Some schools opt for a half-day 'deep dive', while others prefer shorter sessions for multiple classes throughout the day. We are happy to work around your lesson breaks and lunch hours to ensure a smooth school day.
What materials are included in the workshop package?
We provide everything needed for a masterpiece! This includes a wide array of professional spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface to paint on—usually large plastic film walls or individual canvases. You don't need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm and some old clothes just in case!
Do we need to pay anything upfront to book?
We understand that school budgets and planning can be complex. That’s why we offer a 'pay after' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront deposits to secure your date. We'll carry out the workshop, ensure the students have the time of their lives, and handle the administration and invoicing once the magic has happened. It is completely risk-free for your institution.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Definitely! We love it when schools have a specific project in mind. Whether it's a 'unity' theme, an environmental message, or a school anniversary, we can guide the students to create a large-scale collective mural that reflects those values. It’s a fantastic way to combine art with your current curriculum or school ethos.
