- Sketching the vision: Our artists help the students sketch out their big ideas, focusing on letters, characters, or school themes.
- Outline & fill: The exciting part! Students begin filling in their designs with a vibrant explosion of colours.
- Adding the 'pop': We teach them how to add highlights and shadows to make their graffiti jump off the surface.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors are experts at managing groups and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly. We use low-odour, high-quality paints, and the workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces to ensure a healthy environment for everyone involved.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops in Santa Marta typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before the final masterpiece is created. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your morning or afternoon session.
Where in Santa Marta do the workshops take place?
Anywhere! We are very flexible. Most schools in Santa Marta prefer us to come to their campus to use a playground or sports field. However, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at a cool legal graffiti wall in the city if you'd like an authentic 'street' experience. If it rains, don't worry—as long as there is a covered outdoor area, the fun continues!
What is the ideal age for students to participate?
We suggest a minimum age of 8 years old, as the spray cans require a certain level of hand strength and coordination. For primary schools, we focus on fun shapes and bright colours, while for secondary schools and colleges, we dive deeper into complex lettering, shading, and the cultural impact of urban art. We tailor the difficulty level to suit the specific age group perfectly.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! One of the best things about graffiti is that it’s an 'equalizer.' Even students who don't consider themselves 'artistic' usually find they are great at spray painting because the techniques are so different from traditional drawing. Our artists guide every student step-by-step, ensuring everyone walks away feeling proud of what they’ve achieved. It's all about boosting confidence through creativity.
What materials does the school need to provide?
Everything is included! We bring the spray paint, caps, gloves, masks, and protective clothing. Depending on your choice, we provide either large wooden panels, canvases, or even a designated wall space. You don't need to worry about a thing—our team handles the setup and the cleanup, leaving the school grounds exactly as we found them (except for the beautiful new art!).
How much does a school workshop cost in Santa Marta?
We understand that school budgets can be tight and group sizes vary. Our prices generally range from $100,000 to $250,000 COP per student. This depends on how many classes are participating and the type of materials used. For large year groups or multiple-day bookings, we offer special school discounts.
