Do I need to be artistic to join a graffiti workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Johannesburg graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't picked up a crayon since preschool to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists guide you through every spray, teaching you the mechanics of the can and the secrets of letter formation. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks legendary on a canvas. Experience isn't required—just a sense of adventure!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority in Jozi. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. The workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to ensure everyone breathes easy while they create their masterpieces.

What is included in the workshop price?

We've got you covered! Your booking includes all the premium spray paint you'll need, a variety of caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (overalls, gloves, and masks), and the canvases or wall space for your art. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and closed shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Johannesburg usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a cool introduction to street art culture, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your main piece. If you have a specific schedule or are combining this with a larger event, we can certainly tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! Whether you are a small group of 5 friends or a massive corporate team of 200, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra professional artists and set up multiple stations to ensure everyone gets hands-on time and personal guidance. No matter the size of your 'crew', we make sure the energy stays high and the creativity flows for everyone.

Is there an age limit for the workshop?

We generally recommend our workshops for ages 8 and up, as the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination. However, we have special water-based tools for younger kids if needed! It’s a fantastic family activity, a hit for kids' parties, and a great way for teenagers to express themselves in a controlled, positive environment. We adapt our teaching style to suit whatever age group we’re working with.

What happens if it rains or I need to cancel?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments—you can pay after the workshop! We also have a pool of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event in Johannesburg will still go ahead as planned. We strive for 100% satisfaction and reliability so you can book with total peace of mind.

Local culture

Johannesburg is the undisputed street art capital of South Africa. From the towering murals in Braamfontein to the hidden gems in the Jewel City precinct, the city is a living, breathing gallery. Our workshops take inspiration from this local grit and gold, incorporating the styles that make "Jozi" unique. We don't just teach you how to spray; we connect you with the local culture that uses art as a voice for change and celebration.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Joburg is home to one of the world's largest man-made forests? This greenery provides a stunning, leafy backdrop to the sharp, colorful contrast of our local graffiti walls! 🌳🎨

Whether we are working near the iconic Orlando Towers or in a private studio space, the spirit of Johannesburg's resilience and creativity is infused into every workshop. We also host workshops in other major hubs like Cape Town and Durban, but there’s something special about the raw energy of the City of Gold.
