Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to protect their clothes. We use spray cans that meet European safety standards and our professional artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the rules to keep the experience fun and hazard-free for all ages.
What age group is this workshop suitable for?
Absolutely! We tailor our workshops to suit different age groups, from primary school kids to high school teenagers. For younger students, we focus more on simple shapes, vibrant colours, and collaborative murals. For older students, we can dive deeper into the history of street art, advanced techniques, and individual artistic development. We make sure the level of instruction matches the students' maturity and motor skills to ensure a great result.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
While we love Viljandi's outdoor vibe, we are always prepared for the Estonian weather. If it rains, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space using water-based, low-odour spray paint specifically designed for indoor use. We never let a bit of rain cancel the fun! We also have backup artists available, so your event will go ahead as planned regardless of external factors.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
We usually suggest a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for school groups. This timeframe is perfect for keeping students engaged without losing their focus. It allows enough time for a brief history lesson, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group project or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots.
Do we need to travel to a specific studio in Viljandi?
Graffitifun is a completely mobile service! We love coming to schools in Viljandi and can set up on your school grounds, such as a sports court or a parking area. If you don't have a suitable space, we can help find a local legal graffiti spot or an alternative venue nearby. We bring everything we need, so you don't have to worry about transport logistics for the students.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Students will learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different lines and effects. Most students are amazed at what they can create by the end of the session, even if they've never picked up a spray can before.
What materials are included in the school workshop package?
We provide everything! This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, protective masks, gloves, and hoods for the students. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s large plastic-wrapped walls, wooden boards, or individual canvases for the students to take home. Your only responsibility is to make sure the kids show up in comfortable clothes and are ready to have a blast with some street art!
