How it works

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about street art history and a vital safety run-through regarding the gear.
First lines and techniques: Participants grab their first cans to learn "can control"—getting a feel for pressure, distance, and different nozzles.
Sketching the concept: We move to paper or directly to the surface to map out the collective vision or individual tags.
Outline and fill: The real fun begins! We start blocking in the main colours and shapes of the graffiti piece.
Details and highlights: Our pros show you how to add those sharp edges, 3D effects, and "shines" that make the art pop.
The finishing touch: We add the "second outline" or background elements to bring the whole mural together into a polished work of art.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a photoshoot in front of the mural before packing up our eco-friendly gear.

Frequently asked questions

Do the participants need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! Most of our youth project participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching safety, nozzle control, and simple lines before moving on to complex letters. We provide a supportive environment where making mistakes is just part of the creative process. By the end of the session, everyone will have created something they can be proud of.

Is the workshop safe for teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, and our instructors are trained to supervise groups closely. We also ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area, following all local health and safety guidelines in Heraklion.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard youth project workshop in Heraklion usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching designs, practicing techniques, and completing the final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a multi-day youth programme, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your event's needs perfectly.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything! The price includes all professional spray paint, caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surfaces we'll be painting on (whether that's a temporary wall, canvas, or a designated local spot). You just need to make sure everyone wears old shoes and clothes they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case!

Where in Heraklion do the workshops take place?

While we can set up temporary cellophane walls or large canvases at your location, we often use designated creative zones in Heraklion. We can host the workshop at your youth centre, school grounds, or a public space where we have permission. If you don't have a location, don't worry—we have several great spots around the city that provide the perfect urban backdrop for your street art experience.

Do you offer discounts for large youth groups?

Yes, we do! For larger youth organisations or community projects in Crete, we offer scaled pricing. The more participants you have, the lower the price per person becomes. We love working with big groups because it allows us to create massive, collaborative murals that make a real impact. Contact us with your group size, and we’ll send over a custom quote.

What happens if it rains on the day?

The weather in Crete is usually amazing, but if it rains, we have backup plans. We can move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation using water-based, low-odour spray paints. Alternatively, we can reschedule the workshop to a different date. We have a team of backup artists available, so we almost never have to cancel a project entirely.
