How it works

  1. Intro & safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick intro to the tools and essential safety tips to keep everyone protected.
  2. The tag creator: Before picking up a can, use our online Tag Creator to brainstorm your unique graffiti name or design.
  3. First lines: Our artists demonstrate how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines on practice walls.
  4. Colour theory: Learn how to pick 'popping' colour combinations that make your art stand out against the Crete sun.
  5. The sketch: Move to your main canvas or wall area and sketch out the skeleton of your design under expert guidance.
  6. Fill-ins & fades: This is where the magic happens! Master the art of smooth gradients and solid colour fills.
  7. The 'Power-Line': Add those sharp outlines and highlights that give your work that professional 3D street art look.
  8. Group photo: We wrap up by celebrating the collective work with high-res photos—perfect for your uni’s social media!

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops in Heraklion are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned scribblers. Our pro artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the fundamental 'tricks of the trade' from our crew!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We only use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are also trained to manage large university groups, ensuring everyone follows the safety guidelines while having a blast.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger student event, we can adapt the duration to fit your needs perfectly!

Where do the workshops take place in Heraklion?

We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop to your campus in Heraklion if you have a suitable outdoor space, or we can host you at one of our vibrant local street art spots. We'll handle the logistics regardless of the location to make sure the vibe is just right for your group.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Heraklion's weather is usually amazing, but if it pours, we have backup plans. We can either reschedule for a sunnier day or move the session to a covered outdoor area. Since we have backup artists available, we rarely have to cancel—we'll do everything possible to make sure your event goes ahead!

Do we have to pay upfront?

No way! At Graffitifun, we believe in the quality of our service. You can book your university workshop today and you only pay after the session is complete. This keeps things stress-free for student unions and event organisers, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands.

Is there a maximum number of participants for student groups?

We can accommodate almost any group size. Whether it's a small society of 10 people or a massive campus-wide event with 100+ students, we scale our team of artists accordingly. For very large groups, we often work in rotation or on giant collective murals to keep the energy high and everyone involved.
