How it works
- Introduction & Safety Brief: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture followed by an essential safety briefing on how to use the gear properly.
- The Art of the Tag: Students learn the foundations of typography and create their own 'tag' or alias, focusing on letter flow and style. 🎨
- Cans & Caps 101: We demonstrate how different nozzles (caps) change the spray width, teaching students how to control the 'flow' of the paint.
- Sketching the Concept: Using paper or canvases, the group maps out their design, choosing colour palettes that pop.
- First Lines: Under the guidance of our pros, students head to the wall to outline their main shapes and letters. ✨
- Filling & Fading: This is where the magic happens! We teach techniques like gradients, 3D effects, and 'shadowing' to make the art stand out.
- The Masterpiece Reveal: We finish with 'sharpening'—using highlights and clean outlines to make the final mural look professional. 🏆
- Group Photos & Clean-up: We wrap up with a celebratory photoshoot of the class with their work before we handle all the recycling and packing away.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
Our school workshops in Timisoara typically last between 90 minutes and 3 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping students engaged without losing focus. The first half-hour is dedicated to safety and basic techniques, followed by plenty of hands-on spray time. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots if needed.
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we strictly host workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open halls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring a fun environment where everyone stays safe while being creative.
Do students need prior artistic experience or drawing skills?
Not at all! You don't need to be the next Picasso to enjoy this. Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. We teach the basics from scratch—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create clean lines. Most students are amazed at what they can produce by the end of the session, even if they’ve never picked up a can before.
Where exactly in Timisoara do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school premises if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the group to meet at a designated legal graffiti zone in Timisoara to give them a truly authentic street art experience. If it rains, we have backup plans involving indoor-safe materials or covered areas.
What is included in the cost per student?
The price usually includes everything: professional artist guidance, all spray cans, caps, protective gear (masks/suits), and the surfaces we paint on. There are no hidden fees. We also handle the full setup and clean-up, so your staff doesn't have to worry about a thing. For larger groups, we scale the number of artists to ensure everyone gets enough 1-on-1 attention.
Can we choose a specific theme for the workshop?
We can definitely tailor the session! Whether you want to focus on a particular historical movement, explore 'green' urbanism, or have students collaborate on a mural representing 'School Unity', we can weave these themes into the workshop. Just let us know your educational goals during the booking process, and our artists will incorporate them into the introductory talk and the creative phase.
What is the minimum age for participation?
We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up (Year 6 and above). This is because the spray cans require a certain amount of finger strength and the masks need to fit properly. However, for younger primary school children, we can offer modified workshops using paint markers or water-based alternatives that are just as much fun but more age-appropriate.
