Do I need to be an artist to enjoy the workshop?

You don't need any prior art skills to join our Leeds workshop! Our professional artists are experts at teaching beginners from scratch. We’ll show you exactly how to hold the spray can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. Whether you think you can’t draw a stick figure or you're already a bit crafty, you’ll leave with a masterpiece you’re proud of. It’s all about having fun and being creative!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We provide high-quality protective gear including overalls, gloves, and shoe covers to keep your clothes safe. However, spray paint is permanent and can be unpredictable with the wind, so we highly recommend wearing "hobby clothes" or old sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Safety first, style second! After all, getting a little messy is part of the true street art experience.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide FFP2 or FFP3 grade masks to ensure you aren't inhaling any paint fumes while you work. Our spray cans are professional-grade but used under the strict supervision of our experienced artists. We conduct all workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces in Leeds, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all our visitors.

Can children participate in the graffiti experience?

Definitely! We generally welcome aspiring artists from age 6 and up. For younger children, we use smaller cans or water-based alternatives to ensure they have a great time without the weight of professional cans. It’s a fantastic family activity where kids and parents can collaborate on a huge mural together. It’s one of the most unique things to do with the family during a Leeds city break!

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Our workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demo of techniques, plenty of practice on the wall, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We never rush the creative process, so you'll have ample time to perfect your tags and fillings. Smaller groups might finish a bit quicker, while large tourist parties usually take the full 3 hours.

What happens if it rains during my Leeds workshop?

Leeds weather can be a bit 'British' sometimes, but we’ve got you covered! We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations across Leeds that allow the workshops to go ahead regardless of the rain. If the weather is truly extreme, we will work with you to reschedule or find an alternative solution. We make sure the creative vibes keep flowing even if the sun isn't shining!

How do I book and is there a deposit?

Booking is easy and flexible with Graffitifun! You don't need to pay anything upfront; you can pay after the workshop concludes. We also have a pool of backup artists ready to go, meaning your booking is secure even if an instructor falls ill. Just fill out our quote form or use the cost calculator, and we’ll get your Leeds street art adventure in the diary!
