Why choose us in Stavanger?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Stavanger school? It's more than just painting on walls—it's about boosting confidence, fostering collaboration, and seeing the world through a different lens. Here is why it works: 🔥
- Boosts creative confidence: Even students who struggle with traditional art find success with the bold, forgiving nature of spray paint.
- Encourages teamwork: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication, planning, and supporting one another.
- Hands-on learning: It’s a physical, tactile experience that gets students out of their seats and into the 'flow' state.
- Safe and professional: We handle all the logistics and safety, so teachers can relax and watch the magic happen.
- Cultural connection: Connect your students to Stavanger's famous urban art scene in a way they'll never forget! 🏆
How it works
- Intro and street art history: We kick things off with a high-energy talk about the roots of graffiti, from New York subways to the vibrant walls of Stavanger, teaching students the difference between tagging and masterpieces.
- Safety first briefing: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and overalls. We explain the 'rules of the road' for using spray cans safely and respectfully.
- Mastering the nozzle: Our pros demonstrate basic techniques like 'fats' and 'skinnies'. Students practice their first lines and dots on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure.
- Sketching the concept: Before hitting the main wall, students grab paper and pencils to map out their ideas, focusing on letter structure and composition.
- Outline and fill: The exciting part! Under expert guidance, students begin sketching their designs onto the final surface and filling them with a rainbow of colours.
- Cutting and highlights: We teach the 'pro' tricks—using contrast and highlights to make the artwork pop and cleaning up edges for a sharp, professional finish.
- The grand reveal: We step back to admire the collective work. It’s a proud moment for the class to see what they’ve built together.
- Clean up and reflection: We wrap up by tidying the space and having a quick chat about whateveryone learned and how they felt about the creative process.

Frequently asked questions
Do the students need any prior drawing or art skills?
No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible. We start with the very basics of can control and safety, making it easy for every student in Stavanger to participate. Our professional artists are experts at encouraging those who think they aren't 'creative' to find their unique style and gain confidence throughout the session.
Is the spray paint safe for school children to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and produce less mist. All sessions take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can.
How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final collaborative mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots if required.
What is the cost per student for a workshop in Stavanger?
The cost generally ranges between kr300 and kr650 per student. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the event, and whether we are working on a large shared mural or individual pieces for students to take home. We offer competitive rates for Stavanger schools and can provide a detailed breakdown upon request.
Where in Stavanger do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds in Stavanger (as long as there is a suitable outdoor space or well-ventilated hall) or at one of our dedicated local street art spots. If it rains, we have backup plans involving indoor-safe markers or covered areas to ensure the creative fun doesn't stop.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Absolutely! Graffiti is a brilliant medium for exploring themes like identity, environment, local Stavanger history, or social justice. Just let us know your curriculum goals in advance, and our artists will help the students brainstorm and execute a project that aligns perfectly with what they are learning in the classroom.
