How long does a typical after-school workshop last? Balance?

Our after-school sessions in Lae typically run for 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice their hand-style, and complete a final masterpiece without losing focus. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy high and creativity flowing throughout the entire afternoon session. Any longer and those spray arms might get a bit tired!

Is spraying paint safe for school-aged children? Safety first!

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise tool usage closely, ensuring everyone stays safe while having a blast. We also use low-pressure cans which are much easier and safer for younger hands to control, making the experience accessible for a wide range of age groups in Lae.

Do the kids need any previous art experience? Can beginners join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics of how to hold a spray can and build up from there. Whether a student is a natural-born artist or has never picked up a brush in their life, our instructors will guide them step-by-step. It’s all about building confidence and having fun with new colours and shapes.

What materials do we need to provide? Is everything included?

We take care of everything! Graffitifun provides all the professional spray paint, caps, safety gear, and surfaces to paint on. We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the local environment. All we ask is that the students wear old clothes and closed-toe shoes just in case a little bit of 'creative splash' happens. We bring the art studio to you, hassle-free and fully equipped.

Are there educational benefits to a graffiti workshop? More than art?

Absolutely! While we focus on the art, the workshop naturally teaches patience, planning, and teamwork. Students learn to respect public spaces by understanding the difference between legal street art and vandalism. It’s a fantastic way to boost self-esteem as they see a large-scale project come to life through their own efforts. It's hidden learning disguised as pure, colourful fun right here in Lae!

Where exactly in Lae do these workshops take place? Locations?

We are super flexible when it comes to location. We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds using mobile cellar walls or large canvases. If you’d prefer to get the kids out and about, we can also look into local legal walls in Lae. Our mobile setup means we can bring the graffiti experience to almost any outdoor space that has a bit of room to breathe.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school program in Lae? It’s more than just paint on a wall—it’s an explosion of self-expression! Here is why kids (and teachers) love us:

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a 10-foot mural they helped create gives students a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Safe & Professional: We use top-tier safety gear and low-pressure cans designed for beginners.
Zero Stress for Schools: We bring everything, set it up, and clean it up. You just provide the space!
Teamwork in Action: Nothing brings a group together like collaborating on a giant piece of street art. 🤝
Real Artist Mentors: Our instructors aren't just teachers; they are active graffiti pros who live and breathe the art.
Unique Experience: Move over football and chess—this is the activity the kids will be talking about all year! 🚀

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro to street art culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear properly. ✨
Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, students grab paper and pencils to map out their tags and designs, learning about letter structure.
The First Spray: Under guided supervision, kids learn "can control"—how to create thin lines, fat fills, and smooth gradients. 🔥
Outline & Fill: Time to bring the sketches to life! Students start blocking in the vibrant colours of their chosen design on the practice wall.
Adding Character: This is where the magic happens—adding shadows, highlights, and unique "flairs" to make the artwork pop. 🎨
Final Details: Our pro artists help the kids add a clean "power line" (outline) to give the piece that professional street art finish.
The Big Reveal & Photos: We wrap up the session with a group gallery walk and plenty of photos of the students posing with their masterpieces! 📸

Good to know

Local culture

Lae is a city famous for its lush greenery and bustling port energy, but we’re here to add an urban splash of colour to that tropical backdrop! From the busy streets near the Main Market to the quiet school grounds in the suburbs, the creative spirit of Lae is undeniable. We love bringing our workshops to this part of Papua New Guinea because the local youth have such a unique, rhythmic style that translates perfectly into street art.

Fun Lae Fact: Did you know Lae is known as the "Garden City" of PNG? We think every garden looks better with a bit of legal, artistic flair on its walls! 🌿

Whether you're in Lae, Port Moresby, or Madang, our mission is to foster a positive graffiti culture that respects the community while giving the next generation a voice through art.
