How it works
- Introduction & History: We kick things off with a cool chat about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into the global street art movement we see in Zagreb today.
- Safety First: Students get kitted out in protective gear (masks, gloves, suits) and learn the essential rules for using spray cans safely and responsibly.
- The Basics: Our artists demonstrate fundamental techniques, including how to hold the can, control pressure, and create clean lines and dots.
- Sketching the Concept: Students work together or individually to sketch out their ideas on paper, planning their colours and lettering styles before hitting the wall.
- First Sprays: Under the guidance of our pros, students move to the practice surface to get a feel for the paint and build their confidence.
- Mural Creation: This is the big moment! Everyone contributes to a massive, vibrant mural or works on their own high-quality canvas pieces.
- Filling & Fading: We teach advanced skills like colour blending, creating shadows, and adding 'bubbles' or secondary outlines to make the art pop. 🎨
- The Finishing Touches: Our artists help students add those crisp final details and sharp outlines that turn a rough sketch into a professional-looking piece of art.
- Group Review & Photos: We wrap up by admiring the collective work, taking group photos, and discussing what everyone learned throughout the creative process.

Where in Zagreb do the workshops take place?
Most of our school workshops in Zagreb take place at pre-arranged legal graffiti walls or right on your school grounds if space permits. We are fully mobile and bring all the equipment to you! If you'd prefer an indoor setting, we can use large canvases or mobile wooden panels. We always ensure the location is safe, accessible, and provides a great backdrop for a day of urban creativity.
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep students safe and their uniforms clean. Our professional artists are experienced in managing large groups and provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints to ensure a comfortable environment for everyone involved throughout the session.
What is the minimum age for participants?
Generally, our school workshops are best suited for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the manual dexterity to control the spray cans effectively. However, we can adapt our programme for younger primary school children using water-based markers or stencils. We find that teenagers especially engage with the medium, as it resonates with their interest in street culture and contemporary urban fashion.
Do the students need any prior art skills?
No experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our Zagreb-based artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We guide the students from their very first 'tag' to a completed masterpiece. It’s often the students who think they 'can’t draw' who end up being the most surprised by their own creative talent.
What is the maximum group size you can handle?
We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional graffiti artists to ensure every student gets plenty of individual attention and hands-on painting time. We maintain a high artist-to-student ratio for the best educational experience.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the historical introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period blocks, ensuring the session flows perfectly with your school day.
How do we handle the payment for the school?
The best part is that there is no upfront payment required to book your date! You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We believe in the quality of our service and want schools to feel 100% confident when booking with Graffitifun. Simply contact us for a quote, pick your date, and we will handle the rest of the logistics for you.
