Do I need to be an artist to join the graffiti workshop?

Absolutely! Our food festival workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional South African artists will guide you through the basics of spray can control, lettering, and filling techniques. By the time you've finished your first boerewors roll, you'll be well on your way to creating a graffiti masterpiece that you can be proud of. It is all about having fun and trying something new!

Is graffiti painting at a food festival safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and ease of use. Additionally, our artists are trained to manage crowds and ensure that the creative process remains organised and safe for participants of all ages, so you can focus entirely on the fun.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is a messy, hands-on business! Leave your Sunday best at home and opt for something practical. If it's a sunny day in Cape Town, don't forget your sunscreen and a hat, as we often set up our mural walls in the great outdoors.

How long does a typical session last?

We find that 1.5 to 2 hours is the sweet spot for a festival environment. It gives you enough time to learn the techniques and complete a piece of art without missing out on all the delicious food offerings around the festival grounds. We also offer shorter "drop-in" sessions for festivals where people want a quick 20-minute creative burst before moving on to the next food vendor.

Can I take my graffiti art home with me?

We usually paint on high-quality canvases or large-scale plastic-wrapped walls known as "cellograff." If you paint on a canvas, you are welcome to take your artwork home with you! For larger communal murals, we often leave the finished piece on display for the remainder of the festival so other foodies can admire the collective work of the Cape Town community. It makes for a great photo backdrop!

Can you handle large crowds at a busy festival?

Yes! We are equipped to handle anything from small groups of 10 to large-scale festival crowds. For massive events, we set up multiple stations with several backup artists to ensure the flow remains smooth and nobody is left waiting too long. Whether you are hosting an intimate craft food market or a massive music and food extravaganza, we have the gear and the talent to scale up.

What happens if it rains during the event?

While we love the Cape Town sun, we are always prepared for the occasional South Easter or rain shower. We can set up under marquees or move the workshop to a sheltered area if the weather turns. Our team is flexible and used to working in outdoor event environments, so we will do everything possible to ensure the graffiti fun continues regardless of the clouds.

In Cape Town, street art isn't just decoration; it's a language. From the iconic murals of District Six to the trendy galleries of Woodstock, the Mother City has always used public walls to tell its stories.

Whether your event is near the V&A Waterfront or out in the Winelands, we bring that urban edge to your doorstep.

Fun Fact: Cape Town is home to some of the world's most famous street artists, and the Woodstock area features over 100 public murals that tourists from all over the globe come to see. Our workshops give you a chance to be part of that legendary creative lineage! 🎨
