Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and we use low-odour professional spray paint. Our artists are experienced in working with primary school learners and maintain a strictly supervised environment. We also ensure the workspace is well-ventilated, making the entire experience 100% safe for kids and teachers alike while they explore their creative side in Nelspruit.

Do the learners need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional graffiti artists guide the learners through every step, from holding the can to creating cool effects. Whether a child is naturally artistic or hasn't picked up a brush before, they will walk away with a piece of art they are proud of. It’s all about building confidence and having a blast with peers.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that learners wear old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gear, graffiti can sometimes get messy when the creativity starts flowing! It’s best to be prepared so everyone can focus on the art rather than worrying about their school uniforms or Sunday best. Let’s get messy and have fun!

How long does a typical school session last?

Our primary school workshops usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' for keeping younger learners engaged without them getting tired. We pack a lot of action into this time, including a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of their own graffiti masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing slightly to fit into your specific school timetable.

Where in Nelspruit does the workshop take place?

We bring the street art studio to you! We usually host these workshops right on your school grounds in Nelspruit, perhaps on the sports field or a paved courtyard. This makes logistics easy for the school and provides a familiar environment for the kids. If you’d prefer an off-site location, we can chat about nearby creative spaces that might work for your group size.

What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?

We are very flexible! We can accommodate small classes or entire grade levels. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every child gets the attention and guidance they need. If you have a massive group, we can also rotate classes through different stations. Just let us know your numbers, and we will create a plan that works perfectly.

Do you offer workshops in other South African cities?

Absolutely! While we focus on Nelspruit, Graffitifun is active across South Africa. We also host incredible workshops in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria. If your school has branches in other provinces or if you're planning a multi-city school tour, we’ve got the team and the gear to make it happen anywhere in the country.

Local culture

Nelspruit (Mbombela) is known as the gateway to the Kruger, but it's also a rising hub for local creativity. While the city is famous for its lush greenery and orange groves, the urban art scene is beginning to bloom, mirroring the vibrant energy of the Lowveld. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging kids to draw inspiration from the colourful birds, wild landscapes, and the warm community vibes that make Mpumalanga so special.

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of the oldest "street art" in the world—San rock paintings—can be found in the mountains surrounding Nelspruit? We're just continuing a very long tradition of making art on walls! 🎨
