Are the graffiti workshops safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overall suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise school groups and ensure that the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only use high-quality paint that complies with safety standards, ensuring a worry-free creative environment for both teachers and pupils alike. Everyone stays clean and safe while having a blast!
Can the workshop take place on our school premises?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at a legal street art location in Thessaloniki for an authentic experience, or we can bring the entire studio to your school grounds. If we come to you, we use large mobile canvases or plastic wrapping to create a temporary 'wall,' ensuring your school walls remain clean while the kids get to express their creativity freely.
How long does a typical school graffiti session last?
Our school workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, just let us know! We are experts at tailoring the pace to fit perfectly within your school day or after-school programme.
Do students need any previous art experience?
Our workshops are designed for everyone! No prior drawing or painting skills are needed. Our professional artists use a step-by-step method that builds confidence. Students start with simple lines and shapes before moving on to 'pieces' and 'tags.' You’ll be amazed at how quickly students who think they 'aren't artistic' find their flow and create something they are truly proud of.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
We can accommodate almost any group size! For schools, we often work with single classes of 20-30 students, but we can also manage much larger year groups by rotating sessions or bringing in multiple graffiti coaches. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we can scale the event up to ensure every student gets plenty of individual attention and coaching.
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a wonderful tool for teaching teamwork, respect for public space, and self-expression. Many schools use our workshops to tackle topics like 'Street Art vs. Vandalism,' local history, or specific curriculum themes. It’s also a fantastic way to boost student morale and mental well-being through tactile, hands-on creativity that gets them away from screens and into the fresh air.
What should students bring to the workshop?
We recommend that students wear comfortable clothing and shoes that they don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide full protective gear. While our suits are great, graffiti is a messy business! Aside from that, just bring some water and plenty of energy. We provide all the professional spray paint, caps, masks, gloves, and canvases needed for the day.
