Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists in Shanghai are experts at teaching the basics, from nozzle control to layering colours. We start with a safety briefing and basic techniques on practice boards before you move on to your main masterpiece. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours with a little guidance!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective coveralls, gloves, and high-filtration masks. We also provide the canvas or surface you'll be painting on. Just show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on—we handle the rest!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

The duration depends on the specific package you choose, but most of our Shanghai workshops last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, a demo from our artists, individual practice, and the final creation of your own street art piece. Larger group events or team-building sessions can be customised to fit your schedule.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control and provide professional-grade protective gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our artists are trained to supervise the group closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe throughout the session.

Can you host the workshop at my own location?

Yes! While we have amazing partner locations across Shanghai, we are also fully mobile. Whether you want to host an event at your office, a school playground, or a specific venue you've hired for a festival, we can bring the Graffitifun experience to you. We use protective floor coverings and temporary walls to ensure the surrounding area stays clean and paint-free.

What happens if I need to cancel or if the weather is bad?

We offer a 'Fun Guaranteed' promise with no upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is complete! This gives you total peace of mind. We also have a large network of backup artists available, meaning that even in the rare event of a personal emergency for a lead artist, your event in Shanghai will never be cancelled. We’ve got you covered!

The first strokes: Start by outlining your design on the canvas. Don't worry, our artists are right there to help with the tricky bits!
Filling and fading: Learn the secrets of 'graffiti gradients' as you fill your design with vibrant, overlapping colours.
Details and highlights: Add the 'powerline' and highlights that make your artwork pop and give it that professional 3D look.
The big reveal: Step back and admire your work! We’ll take professional-style photos of you and your masterpiece.

Local culture

Shanghai's street art scene is a fascinating blend of international styles and local 'Hai Pai' culture. While the city is famous for its soaring skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower, hidden pockets like the M50 Creative Park and the colourful walls of Moganshan Road have long been the heartbeat of the local graffiti community. Our workshops tap into this creative spirit, celebrating the city's evolution from traditional calligraphy to bold, modern spray-painted murals.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Shanghai was one of the first cities in China to embrace graffiti as a legitimate art form? In the early 2000s, local crews began blending traditional Chinese motifs with Western-style lettering, creating a 'Shanghai Style' that is now respected globally!
