Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in East London have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. By the time the event is over, you will be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where there are no mistakes—only 'happy accidents' and creative discoveries.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor setting. Our artists give a full safety briefing before we start, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly. It is a fun, controlled environment suitable for all ages and skill levels.

What should I wear and bring to the event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto sneakers. Don't worry about bringing any art supplies; we bring everything from the premium spray cans to the caps, canvases, and inspiration sketches. Just bring your energy and a "lekker" attitude!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard cultural graffiti event in East London typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice sessions, and the final creation of your large-scale artwork. We can also customise the duration to fit your specific event schedule if you have other activities planned for the day.

Where in East London do these workshops take place?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spots in East London, or we can come to you! If you have a backyard, a parking lot, or a large ventilatied indoor space, we can set up our mobile graffiti walls right there. We handle all the setup and the cleanup, leaving your space exactly as we found it.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

Our workshops are designed for everyone! We typically host groups ranging from 10 to over 100 people. For smaller private groups, we can arrange a more intimate session, while for large cultural festivals or corporate events, we bring in multiple artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. If you have a specific group size in mind, just let us know and we will tailor the experience for you.

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Weather in the Eastern Cape can be a bit unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the weather looks bad, we can often move the event to a covered outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space. Alternatively, we have a backup artist system and flexible rescheduling options. We always communicate with you ahead of time to ensure the event goes off without a hitch, rain or shine.

Local culture

East London, or "Buffalo City" as we fondly call it, has a unique laid-back charm mixed with a growing urban art scene. While we are famous for the world-class waves at Nahoon Reef, the city's inner walls are starting to tell a different story. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, blending the relaxed Eastern Cape vibe with the vibrant, bold colours of modern graffiti. We love hosting events near the buzzing creative hubs of the city, bringing a touch of "Jozi" grit to the coast.

Fun Fact: Did you know East London is home to the only dodo egg in the world and the prehistoric Coelacanth? It’s a city of hidden treasures, and we believe the local creative talent is the next big discovery! 🇿🇦
