How it works
- Intro & inspiration: We start with a quick, high-energy talk about the history of street art and how it became a worldwide phenomenon.
- Safety briefing: Students get suited up in protective gear and learn the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and responsibly.
- The tag creator: Before picking up a can, students sketch out their ideas or use our online Tag Creator tool to brainstorm their unique artist names.
- Basic techniques: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn 'can control'—practising lines, dots, and fills on practice walls.
- The big design: We work together to sketch a grand design on the main surface, often incorporating a school theme or a positive message.
- Adding colour: This is where the magic happens! Students work in teams to fill in the mural, learning about shading and highlights.
- Outlining & details: Our artists help the students add those sharp black outlines and 'power lines' that make the graffiti pop.
- The photoshoot: We celebrate the finished masterpiece with a group photo—the perfect memory of a creative day.
- Cleanup: We ensure all caps are off and the area is left tidy, leaving behind only the incredible artwork.

Pricing
We believe every student should have the chance to be creative, so we offer flexible pricing to suit school budgets. Our workshops generally range between €20 and €45 per person. This price varies based on the number of students, the amount of materials needed, and the duration of the event.
Because every school has different needs, we don't believe in "one size fits all" pricing. For the best value, we recommend booking per class or year group.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves, overalls, and specialized masks designed for spray painting. Our professional artists are trained to supervise students closely, ensuring a controlled environment. We also use low-odour paints where possible and conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor halls to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Usually, our school workshops in Patras last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for a short theory session, a practice round, and then the main event: creating a large-scale mural together. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your timetable or split the groups across the morning and afternoon sessions.
Do we come to you, or do you have a studio in Patras?
We are totally flexible! We can bring the street art experience right to your school playground or gym in Patras, or we can arrange a session at one of our nearby legal graffiti zones. If we come to your school, we take extra care to mask off surrounding areas to keep the premises tidy. It’s all about making it easy and accessible for your students.
Do the students need any previous art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to students with some artistic flair. Our instructors guide the group through every step, starting with basic lines and moving on to shading. The focus is on creativity, teamwork, and trying something new, so no prior experience or 'talent' is required to have fun.
What materials are included in the workshop price?
We handle everything! The price includes all the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we paint on (like large wooden panels or canvases). We even bring the inspiration! All the school needs to provide is an enthusiastic group of students and a suitable space if we are hosting the event at your location. We make it completely stress-free for teachers.
What are the educational benefits of the workshop?
Graffiti is an incredible tool for education. It teaches students about colour theory, typography, and collaborative design. Beyond the art, it’s a massive boost for self-esteem and group dynamics. Working on a joint mural encourages communication and problem-solving. Plus, it’s a brilliant way to discuss the history of urban art and the difference between legal street art and vandalism in a modern city like Patras.
Can you accommodate large groups of 50+ students?
We are very experienced with large school groups. To ensure everyone gets enough attention and spray time, we often split larger classes into smaller rotating groups or have multiple artists on-site to lead different stations. Whether you have 20 students or 200, we have the staff and equipment to make it a seamless, high-energy experience for the whole year group or school.
