How it works
- Intro & History: We kick things off with a quick, high-energy chat about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved into the global street art movement we see in Paris today.
- The 'Tag' Design: Students start by sketching their own 'tag' or nickname on paper, learning about letter structure and personal style.
- Safety First: Our pros demonstrate how to use the gear properly, from fitting the masks to controlling the pressure of the spray can.
- Can Control: Before hitting the main wall, students practice basic lines, dots, and fills on a practice surface to get a feel for the paint.
- Design Layout: We outline a large-scale collective masterpiece or help students sketch their individual pieces onto the boards.
- The Filling Phase: This is where the colour happens! Students learn how to blend colours and create smooth gradients (fades).
- Outlining & Detailing: The artists guide students in adding the 'power line' and highlights that make the artwork pop off the wall.
- Group Photo: We celebrate the hard work with a photoshoot in front of the finished mural—perfect for the school newsletter!
- Cleanup: We ensure the site is left spotless, packing away all materials and leaving only the amazing art behind.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep students safe and their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists lead with a 'safety-first' briefing, ensuring everyone handles the spray cans correctly. We almost always host these sessions outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to ensure a healthy environment for all participants.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Absolutely! We believe everyone has a creative spark. Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who can't draw a stick figure to budding Picassos. Our artists provide step-by-step guidance, helping every student build confidence and walk away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It is all about the process and having a blast!
Where in Paris do the workshops take place?
We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises (outdoors) using our mobile wooden walls, or we can arrange a session at one of the famous legal graffiti zones in Paris. If you want the true 'street' experience, we recommend meeting at a local street art hotspot to soak up the authentic atmosphere of the city.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or double-up sessions to accommodate multiple classes in one day.
What materials do you provide for the school?
We've got it covered! We provide everything: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps, gloves, masks, and protective overalls. We also bring the 'canvas'—whether that's large wooden boards or individual canvases for students to take home. You just need to make sure the students wear old shoes and bring plenty of energy!
What is the minimum or maximum group size?
While we don't have a strict minimum, our workshops are most cost-effective for groups of 10 or more. For very large year groups, we bring in extra professional artists and set up multiple stations to ensure every student gets enough 1-on-1 coaching. No group is too big; we have the logistics to handle hundreds of students at once.
What happens if we need to cancel or change dates?
We offer a 'No Stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront; payment is only required after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. Plus, we always have backup artists on standby, so even if an instructor falls ill, your school trip or activity day will never be cancelled. We're all about reliability and fun!
