How it works

- Safety & Gear: Students suit up in protective gear! We explain how to handle the cans safely and respect the workspace.
- Sketching the Vision: Everyone grabs a marker to sketch their ideas on paper. Our artists help them refine their concepts.
- Can Control 101: The fun begins! Students learn the basic techniques: lines, dots, and how to fill in large areas without drips.
- Outline & Fill: It is time to hit the boards. Students start bringing their sketches to life with a rainbow of spray colours.
- Adding the 'Pop': We teach them the pro secrets: highlights, shadows, and 3D effects to make their letters jump off the surface.
- The 'Power-Line': Every piece gets a final sharp outline. This is when the magic happens and the artwork really comes together!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated spots. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large groups and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly and safely throughout the entire session.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Ideally, we host these workshops outdoors to ensure the best ventilation and authentic street art experience. However, if the Tilburg weather doesn't play ball, we have various backup plans. We can use large protective plastic sheeting to create a 'pop-up studio' or, in some cases, use water-based spray paints if an indoor hall is large enough. We always discuss the logistics with the school beforehand to ensure a smooth event.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours, but we are totally flexible! We can condense the session into a 60-minute 'taster' or extend it into a full-day project where students work on a large permanent mural for the school grounds. Just let us know your timetable requirements, and we will tailor the programme to fit your school's schedule perfectly.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
We can handle groups of all sizes! Whether you have a single class of 20 or an entire year group of 200, we have the staff and equipment to make it work. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists to ensure every student gets personal guidance and enough time with the spray cans. Our goal is to keep everyone engaged and active.
Do students need to have any drawing or art skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from the 'I can't even draw a stick figure' types to the naturally gifted artists. Our instructors teach the basics of 'can control' and 'lettering' from scratch. We find that students who struggle in traditional art classes often thrive in the high-energy, free-form world of graffiti. It's all about expression and having a blast!
What does the school need to provide for the workshop?
The best part about Graffitifun is that we take care of everything. We bring the spray cans, the protective gear, the boards/canvases, and the talent. The school just needs to provide a suitable outdoor space (like a playground or sports field) and access to a water point for cleaning up. We handle the setup and the intensive cleanup afterwards so your school grounds stay tidy.
Does this encourage students to spray on walls illegally?
Actually, it's quite the opposite! Our workshops include a segment on the history and culture of street art, where we discuss the difference between illegal vandalism and legal public art. By giving students a legitimate, high-quality outlet for their creativity, they learn to value the effort that goes into a piece. Many schools find it actually helps build respect for the school environment.
