How it works
- The intro & safety brief: We kick things off with a quick history of street art and a vital safety demo. Students learn the 'do's and don'ts' of using spray cans.
- Design & sketching: Before touching the paint, students grab paper and markers to map out their ideas, focusing on lettering styles and character design.
- First lines: Under the guidance of our pros, students move to the wall (or canvas) to outline their 'tag' or 'piece' using light colours.
- Filling in: This is where the colour happens! Students learn how to fill large areas smoothly and how to blend different shades for that classic gradient look.
- Cutting & outlines: We teach the trick of 'cutting'—using the background colour to sharpen up the edges of the letters for a professional finish.
- Highlights & details: The final touches! Adding 'shines', 'bubbles', or 'inner outlines' to make the artwork pop off the surface.
- The big reveal: We step back, peel off any tape, and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo with the finished work!

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously at Graffitifun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead with a 'safety-first' briefing, ensuring everyone handles the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour, professional-grade paints and typically set up in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large halls to ensure a safe environment for all participants.
Where do the workshops take place in Plovdiv?
Our school workshops in Plovdiv are incredibly flexible. We can come to your school campus if you have a suitable wall or outdoor space, or we can suggest vibrant local spots that breathe street art. If the weather is a bit 'Bulgarian' (rainy!), we can easily host the session indoors using large plastic sheets to protect the floors and walls. We bring the studio to you!
How long does a typical school workshop session last?
We recommend a minimum of 1.5 hours for a basic session, but for the full creative experience, 2 to 3 hours is perfect. This allows enough time for the initial sketch, learning the spray techniques, and completing a final masterpiece. We can easily scale the duration to fit into your school’s standard double-period or a dedicated afternoon activity slot.
Do students need any prior drawing or painting skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist-mentors guide the students through every step, from holding the can to advanced shading. We often find that students who don't consider themselves 'traditionally' artistic thrive in graffiti because it's so physical and expressive. It’s all about building confidence and having a great time with the crew.
Can this workshop help with student team building?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building. We often organise students into small 'crews' to work on a large shared mural. This requires them to communicate, plan a colour palette together, and respect each other's space on the canvas. It’s a brilliant way to break down social barriers and get different year groups working together toward a common, colourful goal.
What materials are included in the workshop package?
We provide everything needed for a successful session. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, wooden panels, or individual canvases). We even bring the inspiration! The only thing the school needs to provide is an enthusiastic group of students ready to get their hands a little messy!
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up, as the spray cans require a certain level of hand strength and coordination. However, we can adapt sessions for younger primary school children using water-based markers or stencils. For secondary schools and colleges in Plovdiv, the standard spray paint workshop is always a massive hit and fits perfectly with the art curriculum.
