Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our top priority! We use high-quality spray paints and provide all students with protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing. The workshop usually takes place outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to ensure a healthy environment for everyone. We’ve hosted hundreds of school groups across Europe with a flawless safety record, so you can rest easy while the kids get creative.
Do students need any prior art experience?
Absolutely! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for all skill levels. Whether a student is a natural-born illustrator or has never held a pencil, our artists provide step-by-step guidance that ensures everyone creates something they are proud of. We focus on the process of creation and teamwork rather than technical perfection, making it a confidence-boosting experience for every single participant in the class.
Where in Vienna do the school workshops take place?
We are fully mobile! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor wall or space where we can set up mobile plastic partitions. Alternatively, we can arrange for the workshop to take place at one of Vienna's legal graffiti zones, such as the famous Donaukanal. We handle all the logistics and setup, making it a stress-free experience for the teaching staff.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Standard school workshops typically last between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a safety briefing, practice sessions, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. However, we are flexible! If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can adapt the duration to fit into a double period or an entire project day.
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, protective respiratory masks, gloves, and overalls to keep school uniforms clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s a large plastic stretch-wrap wall, individual canvases for students to take home, or a transition of a permanent school wall. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some old clothes!
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for education. It teaches students about colour theory, scale, and composition, but more importantly, it promotes 'out of the box' thinking and teamwork. It’s also a great way to discuss the history of urban art and the difference between legal art and vandalism. Many Vienna schools use our workshops to brighten up their curriculum with a hands-on, modern art experience.
How much does a workshop cost for a large school group?
The cost generally ranges between €30 and €60 per student. This depends on factors like the total number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the type of materials used (e.g., if students are taking away individual canvases). We offer competitive rates for educational institutions and can provide a detailed breakdown for your school’s budget approval. Simply reach out for a custom quote!
