Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

No artistic talent is required at all! Our Newcastle workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to creating clean lines and fills. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and trying something new in a supportive, high-energy environment.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge range of colours, high-quality protective gear like overalls, gloves, and masks, and the canvases or boards you'll be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty (just in case!) and bring your Geordie spirit and enthusiasm!

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality FFP2 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes, and we provide full protective suits and gloves to keep your clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who will give you a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken. Whether we are indoors in a ventilated space or outdoors, we ensure the environment is safe for everyone.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard onboarding or introductory graffiti workshop in Newcastle typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your own graffiti piece. If you have specific time constraints, we can often adapt the schedule to fit your group's needs perfectly.

Can we book a private workshop for our group?

Absolutely! We love hosting private groups. Whether it's a birthday, a work team-building day, or just a group of friends looking for something different to do in Tyneside, we can arrange a private session. These are great because we can tailor the music, the theme, and the pace specifically to your group. Just get in touch for a bespoke quote based on your numbers.

What should I wear to the workshop?

While we provide full protective overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable, 'old' clothes and flat shoes or trainers. Spray paint is permanent, and while the suits are great, there's always a tiny chance of a stray 'tag' ending up on your favorite designer trainers. Better to be safe and dress down so you can focus entirely on the art!

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payment for many of our bookings—you pay after the workshop! We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just reach out to us as soon as possible, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti experience in the Toon? It’s more than just a class; it’s an unforgettable memory. Here is why our Newcastle sessions are the talk of the Tyne:

Total creative freedom: No rules, no judgements. Just you, a can of paint, and your imagination! 🎤
Vibrant local vibes: Immerse yourself in Newcastle’s famous urban culture and creative energy. 💪
Stress-busting fun: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of the paint. 🔥
Expert guidance: Learn from genuine street artists who live and breathe this culture every day.
Zero stress booking: With no upfront payments and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you can book with total confidence. 🎉
Perfect for everyone: From team-building to hen parties, or just a cool Saturday activity, everyone loves getting creative.

Step by step

The warm-up: Arrive at our Newcastle studio or your chosen location and meet your pro artist host. We’ll kick things off with a quick intro to the culture and the tools of the trade.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, gloves, and mask. We’ll show you the ropes on how to handle the cans safely and effectively.
Can control 101: Learn the basics. You'll practice making dots, lines, and fades to get a feel for the pressure of the spray nozzle.
Sketching your vision: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design on the canvas. Don't worry, our artists are on hand to help you get the proportions right!
Filling and blending: This is where the magic happens. Start adding vibrant colours to your design, learning how to blend shades for that iconic 3D effect.
The outline (The 'Cut'): Use a contrasting colour to sharpen your edges and make your graffiti pop off the background.
Final highlights: Add those professional finishing touches—shines, shadows, and 'bits' that give your work character.
The big reveal: Step back and admire your handiwork! It's time for a group photo with your finished masterpieces.
Take it home: Once the paint is dry, you get to keep your creation as a permanent souvenir of your Newcastle street art experience.

Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the same creative fire that fuels the Newcastle art scene. ✨
