How it works
- Introduction & history: We kick things off with a high-energy talk about the roots of graffiti culture and how it evolved into modern street art.
- Safety first: Every student gets kitted out with professional masks, gloves, and protective suits to stay clean and safe.
- The tag creator: Before touching a can, we practice 'tagging' styles on paper to understand letter structure and flow.
- Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate how to manipulate the spray can to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
- Sketching the mural: The group works together to outline a large-scale design, often based on a school theme or value.
- Filling & fading: The fun part! Students start filling in the colours, learning how to blend shades like a pro.
- Outline & highlights: We add the finishing touches—sharp outlines and 'shines' that make the artwork pop off the wall.
- Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the masterpiece with a big group photo before safely packing away all our gear.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
Our school workshops in Turin typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a solid introduction, safety briefing, sketching, and the actual spray painting. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or double-period slots. If you have a larger group, we can also run back-to-back sessions to ensure everyone gets a turn at the wall.
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure the spray cans are used correctly and safely. Furthermore, we use low-pressure spray paint which is much easier for beginners to control, making the environment both safe and fun for students of all ages.
Do we need to travel to a studio, or can you come to our school?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at a legal street art location in Turin, or we can bring the entire setup to your school. If we come to you, we use large mobile canvases or plastic sheeting to protect your walls and grounds. This 'pop-up' studio approach means you don't even have to worry about transport costs for the students.
Do the students need to have prior artistic skills?
Not at all. Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create simple lines. Our artists guide the students through every step, from the initial sketch to the final highlight. You'll be amazed at the high-quality murals students can produce with just a little professional guidance!
What is the minimum age for participants?
We generally recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow safety instructions. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or different creative techniques. For secondary schools and colleges, we dive deeper into the history and techniques of the subculture.
What materials do we need to provide?
You don't need to bring a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for a successful session: premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), caps, and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a wall or a mobile board). We even bring the inspiration! Just make sure the students wear old clothes and comfortable shoes, just in case a little paint wanders.
Is there an educational component to the workshop?
While we focus on the artistic side, we naturally touch upon the history of the movement, the difference between street art and vandalism, and the importance of legal expression. We can also tailor the workshop to fit specific curriculum themes like 'Modern History', 'Social Change', or 'Community Identity'. It’s a fantastic way to combine physical activity with cultural education and team-building.
