Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students and children?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no fumes are inhaled. Our professional instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use high-quality paints and ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated or outdoors, making it a completely safe environment for students of all ages.
Do students need previous art experience to participate?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to naturally gifted artists. Our instructors use a step-by-step method that ensures every student creates something they are proud of. We focus on the joy of creation and the techniques of street art, making sure the atmosphere is encouraging and pressure-free for all skill levels.
Where in Wels do the school workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area. Alternatively, we can help arrange a professional spray location or 'Hall of Fame' in or around Wels. We bring all the necessary materials to you, including boards or canvases if there isn't a permanent wall available to paint.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school graffiti workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, an introduction to graffiti history, practicing basic techniques, and then completing a final group project or individual canvases. We can adjust the duration to fit your school's specific timetable or project day requirements—just let us know what works best for your schedule!
What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?
We recommend a minimum of 10 participants, but we can accommodate very large groups of 100+ students by bringing in additional professional artists. For larger school year groups, we often rotate sub-groups or work on a massive collaborative mural. This ensures everyone gets plenty of 'spray time' and hands-on guidance from our experts without feeling crowded.
Can the workshop be integrated into the school curriculum?
Absolutely! Graffiti is a fantastic way to teach students about colour theory, typography, urban history, and social expression. Many schools in Wels use our workshops to tackle themes like community, environment, or school identity. We can tailor the design phase of the workshop so that students brainstorm and execute a mural that reflects a specific educational topic or school value.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
The climate in Upper Austria can be unpredictable, but we always have a Plan B. If the weather is too wet or windy for outdoor spraying, we can move the workshop indoors using large canvases or special boards, provided there is adequate ventilation. Often, we can also reschedule to a better day. We stay in close contact with the school to ensure the event goes ahead smoothly.
