How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with an energetic briefing on how to use the equipment safely and the importance of wearing our protective gear.
- The History Lesson: A quick, engaging talk about the roots of graffiti culture and its evolution into modern street art.
- Mastering the Can: Students learn 'can control'—practising dots, lines, and fades on a practice surface to get a feel for the pressure.
- Sketching the Concept: Using paper and markers, students plan out their tags or 'pieces', focusing on letter structure and 3D effects.
- Outline & Fill: Time to hit the walls! Students spray their main outlines and fill them with vibrant colours.
- Adding Character: We teach how to add highlights, shadows, and 'second outlines' to make the artwork pop.
- The Final Flourish: Students add backgrounds, stars, or 'drips' to give their work that authentic street art aesthetic.
- Group Review: We finish with a gallery walk-through where students present their work and celebrate each other's creativity.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority during every school workshop in Sliven. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only use professional-grade paints in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared spaces to keep the environment safe for everyone involved.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops are incredibly flexible! A standard educational session typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This includes the initial safety briefing, the history of street art, sketching techniques, and the actual spray-painting phase. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can easily adjust the duration to fit into a double lesson or an afternoon activity slot.
What is the ideal age range for the students?
We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up (Upper Primary and Secondary). At this age, students have the motor skills to handle the spray cans effectively and can truly appreciate the artistic techniques we teach. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or simplified stencilling techniques if required. Just let us know the age range!
Do we need to provide any materials?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides all the professional spray paint, a wide variety of caps for different line widths, protective clothing (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas' (which could be large plastic film surfaces, wooden boards, or even a school wall with permission). All we need from the school is an outdoor space and a group of enthusiastic students ready to learn a new skill.
Do the students need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our expert artists start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple shapes. We guide the students through a step-by-step process so that by the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw' will have created something they are proud of.
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for education. Beyond the art itself, it teaches students about planning, patience, and creative problem-solving. It’s also an excellent way to discuss the difference between illegal vandalism and street art as a professional career. Our Sliven workshops often focus on teamwork, where students must collaborate on a large-scale mural, fostering communication and collective pride in their school environment.
What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our reliability. We have a large team of professional artists and backup experts ready to step in. If an artist falls ill, we have a network of professionals to ensure your school event goes ahead as planned. We haven't missed a workshop yet, so you can book with total confidence that we will be there on the day.
