- Sketching the Vision: Students grab markers and paper to plan their designs, focusing on letter structure and flow.
- First Sprays: Under guidance, students start hitting the wall or canvas, getting a feel for the pressure and distance.
- Collaboration Phase: The 'crews' work together to fill in large areas, focusing on colour blending and filling.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for younger students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure students don't inhale any fumes. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure paints that are easier to control, making the experience safe, clean, and enjoyable for students of all ages in Poprad.
Where in Poprad do the school workshops take place?
We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at your school grounds in Poprad if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at a local legal graffiti zone or a dedicated creative space. If you want to keep things indoor-friendly, we can work on large canvases or boards using water-based paints that have minimal odour.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 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 for the students. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school timetable or a specific 'culture day' event you are planning.
What is the minimum or maximum group size?
We recommend a minimum of 10 students, but we can accommodate very large groups of 100+ by bringing in multiple professional artists. For large school cohorts in Poprad, we usually split the students into smaller 'crews' so everyone gets enough time with the spray cans and individual guidance from our instructors. No one is left standing around!
What materials do we need to provide?
We bring everything! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface to paint on (unless we are using a school wall). We also provide sketches and inspiration materials. All you need to bring is a high-energy attitude and clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!
Do the students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all. Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex styles into simple steps. We guide students through the basics of 'tagging', 'throwing', and 'piecing'. By the end of the session, even students who claim they 'can't draw a stick figure' are usually amazed by the professional-looking mural they’ve helped create.
How does this benefit the students' development?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building. Students have to communicate, plan their colour schemes, and work on a shared vision. It encourages problem-solving and mutual respect. In Poprad, we find that these workshops often help students who struggle in traditional academic settings to shine and express themselves in a way that builds their confidence and social bonds.
