Why choose us in Riga?
Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your school? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s about building confidence and teamwork! 🌟
- 🔥 Boost Confidence: Watch even the quietest students find their voice through bold colours and big strokes.
- 🎨 Totally Hands-on: This isn't a lecture; it's 100% interactive from the first shake of the can.
- 🤝 Team Building: Many of our projects involve creating a giant collective mural, requiring communication and collaboration.

How it works
- Introduction & History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of street art, its roots, and how it evolved into a global art movement.
- Safety First: Every student gets geared up with protective suits, masks, and gloves. We explain how to use the equipment safely and responsibly.
- The Sketching Phase: Before spraying, we grab the markers! Students learn to design their own 'tags' and 'pieces' on paper, focusing on letter structure and flow.
- Can Control 101: Our artists demonstrate professional techniques—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Students head to the walls to practice their first lines and shapes, getting a feel for the spray and the surface.
- The Big Project: Working together or individually, the group begins their main mural. This is where the big colours and 'fills' come into play!
- Adding the Details: We teach the tricks of the trade—outlining, highlights, and 3D effects that make the artwork pop off the wall.
- The Final Reveal: We step back, peel off any tape, and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo!
- Tidy Up & Wrap: We pack up all materials, leaving the site clean, while students take away their new skills and a massive sense of achievement.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our professional artists are fully trained in health and safety protocols and provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. You are in very safe, expert hands with the Graffitifun team.
Does this activity encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?
Absolutely! While we love seeing kids get creative, we never spray on public property without permission. We use mobile wooden walls, large canvases, or legally designated 'free walls' in Riga. This teaches students the vital difference between illegal vandalism and street art as a respected form of creative expression. It's all about respect for the environment and the community while still having a blast!
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop in Riga?
We can accommodate almost any group size! Whether it is a small art club of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we have the staff and equipment to handle it. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists and set up multiple 'spraying stations' to ensure every single student gets plenty of hands-on time with the cans and personal guidance.
Do we come to you, or do you come to our school?
We are totally flexible! Most secondary schools and colleges prefer us to come to them, where we can set up in a school playground or sports field. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, we can arrange a session at one of Riga’s cool legal street art spots. We'll work with you to find the most convenient location for your schedule.
What should the students wear on the day of the workshop?
Ideally, students should wear old clothes and sneakers, just in case! Even though we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy when the creative juices start flowing. We recommend avoiding your newest trainers or favourite designer hoodies. Once they are geared up in our suits, they’ll look like professional artists ready to work!
How long does a typical school graffiti session last?
The 'Riga Masterpiece' usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours. A standard school session is often 2 hours, which provides the perfect balance of history, technique practice, and the final creation. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots. Just let us know what works best for your school day!
