Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Safety is our number one priority for school groups! We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls, to keep uniforms clean and students safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our professional artists are experienced in supervising students, ensuring a controlled environment where everyone can enjoy the creative process without any risks. Parents and teachers can rest easy!
Do the students need to have prior artistic skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the basics, teaching techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'shading'. We guide each student through the process step-by-step, ensuring that every participant leaves with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about the experience and having fun.
What should students wear and what do they need to bring?
We recommend that students wear old clothes and comfortable shoes, just in case! Even though we provide protective suits and gloves, spray paint is permanent and can occasionally find its way onto trousers or shoes. We provide all the professional materials, including premium spray cans, caps, and canvases. You don't need to bring a thing—just bring your energy and creativity and we will handle the rest!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A typical school workshop in Recife lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, safety instructions, basic techniques, and the actual creation of the final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the duration to fit your school's timetable or specific curriculum needs. Whether it's a short intensive session or a full afternoon of art, we've got you covered.
What are the payment terms and booking guarantees?
Flexibility is key for us. Unlike many other providers, we don't require upfront payments to secure your date. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. This makes the booking process much easier for school administrations and departments. Plus, we have backup artists available, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your planned school activity.
Can we do a collaborative project instead of individual pieces?
Absolutely! Graffiti is a fantastic medium for teaching teamwork. We can organise the workshop so that students work in small groups on large shared panels. This requires them to communicate, plan their design together, and coordinate their spraying to create a cohesive mural. It’s a brilliant way to build social skills and school spirit while doing something totally unique and exciting.
