Why choose us in Rezekne?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Rezekne school? It’s more than just painting walls—it’s about building character and discovering hidden talents. Here’s why it works:
- Boosts confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement. 🚀
- Encourages collaboration: Large pieces require students to communicate and work together to achieve a unified vision.
- Inclusive art: Graffiti levels the playing field; even students who struggle with traditional fine arts often thrive with a spray can.
- Cultural education: We dive into the ethics of street art, teaching the difference between vandalism and legal, professional muralism.
- Stress relief: The physical nature of spraying is a fantastic way for students to release energy and focus their minds. ✨
- Expert guidance: Our backup artist policy means your workshop will never be cancelled due to staff illness.
How it works
- Introduction & culture: We start with a brief, high-energy talk about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved from street tagging to respected urban art.
- Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear while we explain the golden rules of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
- The 'tag' creator: Students start by sketching their ideas on paper, learning how to structure letters and choose a vibrant colour palette.
- First lines: Moving to the workspace, students learn 'can control'—practising how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fades.
- Filling & outlining: Our artists demonstrate the 'fill' technique and the importance of the 'power-outline' to make their art pop.
- Creative execution: This is the main event! Students apply their new skills to their own piece or a collaborative school mural.
- Detailing & highlights: We show them how to add those final 'shines' and 3D effects that give graffiti its professional look.
- The big reveal: We finish with a group gallery walk-through where students explain their work and celebrate each other's creativity.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure the spray cans are used correctly and safely. We only work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated spaces that meet strict safety standards, ensuring a worry-free environment for teachers and parents alike.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops in Rezekne usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for the introductory history lesson, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of the masterpiece. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily adapt the session length to fit perfectly into your timetable or double-period slots.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Don't worry, we've got you covered! We usually plan our school workshops at locations with overhead cover or have backup indoor dates available. Since we have a team of backup artists, we are very flexible with rescheduling if the Latvian weather decides not to cooperate. We always aim to ensure the workshop goes ahead safely and comfortably.
Do the students need any prior drawing or art skills?
We believe everyone is an artist! Our workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Our professional guides use a step-by-step approach that makes it easy for even the most hesitant student to create something they are proud of. We focus on building confidence and showing students that with the right techniques, anyone can master the basics of street art.
What materials are included in the school package?
We provide everything needed for a complete street art experience. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the "canvas" (which could be a wall, wooden boards, or individual canvases). The only thing students need to bring is their enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!
Can we create a permanent mural at our school?
Yes, we love it when schools want to create something permanent! While many workshops involve students creating individual pieces, we can also facilitate a collaborative project where the class works together to design and paint a large-scale mural on a school wall or boards. This is a fantastic way to leave a lasting, colourful legacy on your school grounds.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt our programme for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or alternative street art techniques—just let us know the age range of your class!
