What age groups can participate in the after-school workshops?

Our Machala after-school sessions are perfect for students aged 8 to 18. We group participants by age to ensure the teaching style and complexity of the projects match their developmental stage. Younger kids focus on basic shapes and bright colours, while teenagers dive deeper into complex lettering, shading techniques, and the history of the global street art movement. It is a fantastic way for all ages to express themselves creatively.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure students don't breathe in fumes, along with protective overalls and gloves to keep their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are trained in workshop safety management, and we always conduct our spray-painting sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially set-up spaces to ensure a 100% safe and fun environment for everyone.

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! We focus on teaching graffiti as a respected form of contemporary art. Our instructors emphasise the importance of legal 'walls of fame' and commissioned murals. We teach students that true artists respect their community and use their skills to beautify spaces with permission, rather than damaging property. It’s all about channelled creativity, discipline, and understanding the responsibility that comes with having a powerful artistic voice.

How long does a typical afternoon session last?

A standard after-school session in Machala usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction, a sketching phase, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you are looking for a more intensive programme, we can also arrange multi-week courses that allow students to work on larger, more intricate mural projects over several afternoon sessions.

Do we need to provide our own spray cans or masks?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything your child needs to become a street art pro. This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle types (caps) for different line thicknesses, sketching materials, and all necessary safety gear like masks and suits. You just need to send them in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Does my child need to have previous drawing skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors provide step-by-step guidance, starting with how to hold the can and control the pressure. We help every student create something they can be proud of, regardless of their previous art experience. It’s about building confidence and having a great time with a new medium.

How does the payment and booking process work?

We believe in flexibility for busy parents and schools. There is no upfront payment required to book your session—you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We are so confident in our high-energy, high-quality experiences that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If the kids don't have an absolute blast, we haven't done our job properly!

Local culture

Machala isn't just about the world-class bananas and the stunning breeze from Puerto Bolívar; it's a city with a growing appetite for modern culture. While the city is famous for its agricultural heritage, the younger generation is looking for new ways to express the coastal energy of El Oro. Our workshops tap into this Machaleño spirit, bringing a fresh, urban vibe to the local after-school scene. We love seeing students incorporate local elements—perhaps a stylized banana leaf or the bright blues of the Pacific—into their graffiti pieces.

Fun Fact: Machala is known as the "Banana Capital of the World," and we think that’s the perfect inspiration for some bright, bold yellow street art! 🍌
