How it works
- Introduction & culture: We start with a high-energy intro into the history of street art and how it evolved from subculture to a respected art form.
- Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the golden rules of using spray cans safely and responsibly.
- The tag creator: Students brainstorm their 'street names' and learn how to design a unique tag that represents their personality.
- Mastering the can: We head to the practice wall to learn 'can control'—shading, lines, and how to create those iconic graffiti effects.
- Concept sketching: The group works together or individually to sketch out the final design, focusing on composition and colour theory.
- The main event: It's time to paint! Students apply their new skills to a large mural or individual canvases under the guidance of our pros.
- The finishing touches: We teach how to add highlights and sharp outlines to make the artwork really 'pop' against the Potosí backdrop.

Is the workshop safe for students?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct our school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists are also trained in group management to ensure a controlled, safe, and fun environment for all ages.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We usually recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans effectively and can better grasp the artistic techniques we teach. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using water-based paint markers or simplified techniques if required.
Do the students need any previous art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can and control the pressure—before moving on to more complex techniques. Every student will leave the session having created something they are proud of, regardless of their prior artistic experience.
What should the students wear on the day?
While we provide full-body protective suits, we always recommend that students wear 'work clothes' or old trainers they don't mind getting a little dusty. Even with protection, graffiti can be messy! We also suggest bringing a water bottle and wearing sun protection, as we’ll be outdoors in the beautiful Potosí sun.
What happens if it rains in Potosí?
Potosí weather can be unpredictable! If the forecast looks bad, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space if available. We also have a large network of backup artists to ensure your booking is protected against unforeseen circumstances. We always aim to make the workshop happen!
How long does a typical school session last?
Our standard school workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots.
Where do the workshops actually take place?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Potosí, or we can arrange a session at a local inspires-street art location. If you have a wall at school that needs a makeover, that's the perfect spot for a lasting legacy project!
