What is the minimum age for the workshop?

Our after-school graffiti workshops in Marseille are open to children and teenagers aged 8 and up. We tailor our teaching methods to suit different age groups, ensures that younger kids focus on safety and basic shapes while older teens can dive into complex shading and lettering techniques. It is a fantastic way for students of all ages to develop their fine motor skills and creative confidence.

Is the spray paint safe for children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, teaching students how to handle spray cans responsibly. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints designed for artistic use, ensuring a safe and controlled environment for every participant to enjoy their creative journey.

How long does a typical after-school session last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a brief history of Marseille's street art, a safety demonstration, practice sessions on plastic film, and the creation of their final masterpiece. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping students engaged and excited without getting overwhelmed or tired after a day of school.

Do we need to come to a studio or do you come to us?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises (using mobile plastic walls to protect the environment), or we can arrange for the group to meet at a legal street art spot in Marseille, such as near the Cours Julien. If you choose the school option, we handle all the setup and cleanup, leaving the playground exactly as we found it.

Do the students need any previous art skills?

No prior experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our artist-mentors guide the kids through every step, from drawing their first 'tag' to filling in colours and adding highlights. We focus on the 'fun' element of learning, so every student leaves feeling like a pro, regardless of their initial artistic ability.

What should the participants wear?

We recommend wearing comfortable old clothes and trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including suits and gloves, sometimes a stray drop of paint can find its way onto a shoe! In summer, Marseille can get quite warm, so light clothing underneath the protective suits is usually the best way to go.

Passo dopo passo

The warm-up: Every session starts with an introduction to the history of graffiti and a look at Marseille’s local legends to get the inspiration flowing.
Safety first: Our pros demonstrate how to use the gear, from fitting the masks correctly to the 'no-spray' zones.
Finding your tag: Students start by sketching their own unique street name or 'tag' on paper to plan their design.
First lines: We move to the wall (or mobile surface) and practice basic lines, circles, and dots to get a feel for the spray can's pressure.
The sketch: It is time to scale up! The kids outline their main design onto the canvas or wall using a light-coloured spray paint.
Fill-in fun: This is where the magic happens as we bring the pieces to life with vibrant colours and gradients.
The highlight: We teach the kids how to add 'shadows' and 'highlights' to make their artwork pop off the surface.
The final outline: A sharp outer line is added to clean up the edges and give the work that professional street art look.
Photo op: We finish with a group photo of the young artists and their masterpiece before heading home with the best stories ever.

Cultura locale

Marseille is arguably the street art capital of Southern France. The city is a living gallery, where every corner tells a story through Mediterranean colours and bold typography. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the rebellious and sun-soaked energy of the city. We often talk about the famous murals found in the 6th arrondissement and how Mediterranean light changes the way we choose colours for our pieces.

Fun Fact: Did you know Marseille is home to some of the oldest graffiti spots in France? The city has always embraced urban expression, making it the perfect backdrop for the next generation of artists to learn the ropes of aerosol art! ☀️
