About this class

In this workshop, you will design your own stencil graffiti — step by step. You don't need any previous experience.

Stencil graffiti combines urban style with a stencil technique that was originally created in the street art scene. This technique enables complex, expressive motifs by combining clear contours with layers of color. This quickly creates a work of art with individual expression and strong effect.

You think you can't do that? That is not true.

In about 3 hours, you will create your own stencil graffiti on a 50 × 50 cm canvas on your own easel. There are no theoretical lectures. Arrive, put on gloves and get creative right away. Get inspiration and creative input whenever you need it. In the end, you not only take home a great piece of art, but you can also tell a lot about it.

The course takes place at the Künstlerhof at Steinstraße 58 in Cologne. You can easily reach us with the S12 or KVB line 7. A car park is just a four-minute walk away. There is a tapas restaurant right in the courtyard — ideal for a leisurely end to the course.

Safe space for everyone. Unfortunately, the courtyard and the toilets are not barrier-free — a step of 7 cm must be overcome. The course can be done sitting down. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us so that we can tell you what is possible.

What you’ll do in the class

• Greeting and crash course in graffiti spraying
• Your own easel and 50 × 50 cm canvas • Working with water-based acrylic spray paint (low odour)

• Construction in several layers of images • Ongoing practical instructions • Your painting to take away

Who is the class suitable for?

The stencil graffiti course is ideal for anyone looking for creative leisure activities and would like to try something new. Perfect for beginners and advanced users who want to test this technique. Couples who want to decorate their new shared apartment will find their place here just as much as anyone who wants to make new contacts or simply treat themselves to three hours without a screen and everyday office life.

Graffiti is for everyone — our course is open and relaxed.

Also ideal for private groups, corporate events and team building, or as a special gift related to art and creativity. Individual templates are also possible for groups and companies — for example with a logo, name or motto.

I can only absolutely recommend the course. We had a lot of fun and after correcting our initial skepticism due to a lack of skills, we were really impressed with the result of our work of art after 3 hours. We could always ask for help in a pleasant atmosphere. Thank you so much.

The workshop was great and I can only recommend it. Danny is very likeable, helps when you don't know exactly what to do, but also gives you creative freedom. It was entertaining and everyone had created a small individual work of art in the end.

The 3 hours flew by. It was so much fun. Danny is very personable and very helpful (thanks again for the skull). What I liked the most was that after a short explanation, you could immediately get started and try it out yourself. I definitely recommend the course.

If you are in the mood for colors and creativity, this is the right place for you. I particularly liked the fact that you had time to develop your design — even though I was a bit undecided at first, it turned into a great creative process. Thanks to Danny's friendly, helpful, easy-going nature and his technical support (thanks again for plotting my favorite file 🐨!) It was an all-round successful experience. Each picture in the group was unique in the end. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try something new!

A really great experience. It was a well-rounded affair from start to finish. Were there as a group and everyone took away a great picture, which everyone designed individually. Danny was a great guide to us through the course.

I had a really great experience and am more than satisfied with the result. Danny gave us a good introduction to art, even printed out individual stencils for us on request and provided us with competent advice and assistance. I would like to attend the course again.

We took the course as a couple today and are absolutely thrilled. In our group, apart from us, all other participants had canceled and Danny did not hesitate to have the workshop take place as a “personal event”. We found that very appreciative and great! As an absolute newcomer to art, Danny gave us a quick overview of possible techniques. After that, we started the practice straight away. There are many different templates available so that everyone will find what they are looking for. We found our way around easily and were able to contact Danny with any questions. We are happy to recommend the course! :-)

That was great! The course instructor is pleasantly relaxed and lets people discover what's in them. I was surprised how difficult it is at first to let go without fear and to follow the fun of colors and shapes instead of trying to keep control. I had already done that once, it was also my comfort zone, but back then I was still a child and then life happened. But because the technology was quickly and well explained, it was now a lot of exciting time to take up this feeling from back then and even get a surprisingly beautiful result. Danny Frede does it wonderfully. By the way: His own work, the “analog pixels”, is absolutely worth seeing in the original.

I took part in a graffiti course with my 13-year-old daughter. We were both impressed and produced two wonderful pictures without any previous knowledge. The course was educational, creative, completely relaxed and without any time pressure. Highly recommended as a gift 👍👍👍👍👍
