Why choose us in Rijeka?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students in Rijeka? Beyond just being the "coolest" teacher in the staffroom, these sessions offer serious developmental benefits:
- Team Spirit: Students must collaborate on a large-scale mural, learning that the best results come from working together. 🤝
- Creative Freedom: Unlike rigid school subjects, graffiti allows for total self-expression and out-of-the-box thinking.
- Confidence Booster: Seeing a giant, professional-looking piece of art that they helped create gives students a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
- Cultural Connection: We teach the history of Rijeka's urban scene, connecting students to their city's modern heritage.
- Safe Experimentation: We provide a controlled environment where students can learn the "do's and don'ts" of street art responsibly. 🎤
- Stress Relief: Spray painting is incredibly tactile and rhythmic, providing a great mental break from exam pressure.
How it works
- Introduction & History: We kick things off with a brief, engaging history of graffiti culture, moving from its roots in NY to the vibrant street art scene in Rijeka today.
- Concept Brainstorming: Students work together to sketch ideas and pick a theme, learning how to translate thoughts into visual tags and pieces.
- Safety Briefing: Each student is fitted with a protective suit, mask, and gloves while we explain the gold rules of using spray cans safely.
- The 'Nozzle' Masterclass: Our pro artists demonstrate different spray tips (caps) and techniques, showing how to create thin lines, fat fills, and smooth gradients.
- Practice Session: Before hitting the final mural, students get hands-on time to practice their 'can control' on test surfaces.
- Outline & Fill: Under expert guidance, the students begin sketching the large-scale design and filling in the vibrant colours.
- Detailing & Outlining: This is where the magic happens! We teach the students how to add 'low-lights', highlights, and sharp outlines to make their art pop.
- The Grand Reveal: The group steps back to admire their collaborative masterpiece—a perfect opportunity for a class photo!
- Clean up & Wrap up: We handle the tidy-up, leaving the site as clean as we found it, while the students take home their newfound skills (and often their own canvases).

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-age children?
Safety is our number one priority for school groups. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student to ensure they stay clean and safe. Our professional artists are fully trained in lead safety and use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans that are easier for younger hands to control. We also conduct safety briefings before any paint is sprayed, ensuring a controlled and secure environment for everyone involved.
What age groups are these school workshops suitable for?
Absolutely! We believe street art should be accessible to everyone. Our Rijeka workshops are designed for various age groups, from primary school pupils to teenagers in secondary education. We adjust our teaching methods and the complexity of the designs based on the age and skill level of the students. For younger groups, we focus more on shapes and colours, while older students can dive into complex shading and perspective techniques.
Where in Rijeka do the school workshops take place?
Our workshops are incredibly flexible and can be hosted at various locations. We can arrange for a session at a legal graffiti wall in Rijeka, or we can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds using large mobile canvases or wooden panels. If you prefer an indoor session, we use specific water-based, low-odour spray paint to ensure a comfortable and safe atmosphere for the students and staff.
How long does a typical school workshop session last?
A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for a theoretical introduction to street art history, a safety briefing, practice sessions, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece. If you have specific scheduling needs or need to fit the workshop into a single school period, let us know and we can tailor the duration to fit your timetable.
Do we need to provide any materials or equipment?
We make things as easy as possible for teachers! Our team provides everything needed for a successful creative day: professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (gloves, masks, suits), and the painting surface (canvases or boards). You only need to ensure the students wear old clothes and shoes, just in case a little bit of 'art' misses the overalls! We handle all the setup and the cleanup.
Can the workshop be tailored to a specific educational theme?
Yes, we can! Many schools in Croatia use our workshops to explore specific themes such as environmental awareness, local Rijeka history, or school values like teamwork and respect. When you book, just let us know if there is a particular topic or message you want the students to focus on. Our artists will then help the students translate those abstract ideas into a powerful, collaborative visual mural.
What is the payment process and cancellation policy?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible booking policy. We understand that school budgets and approvals can take time, so we don't require an upfront payment to secure your date. You can pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Additionally, we have backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your school event in Rijeka will still go ahead as planned!
