Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We also use low-odour professional spray paint specifically designed for ease of use. Our artists are experienced in working with primary school learners and provide constant supervision to ensure every child has a safe, enjoyable, and mess-free experience while exploring their creativity.

Do the kids need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and beginner-friendly. Our Port Elizabeth artists guide the learners through the entire process, from holding the can correctly to filling in shapes. We focus on the 'fun' aspect of street art, ensuring that every child, regardless of их artistic ability, leaves the session feeling like a true graffiti pro.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

We recommend a session duration of about 2 to 2.5 hours for primary school groups. This gives the children enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tags' on paper, and then complete their main masterpiece on the wall or canvas without feeling rushed or losing focus. It’s the perfect 'sweet spot' for young attention spans!

Where in Port Elizabeth do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the entire graffiti experience to your school grounds in Port Elizabeth using our mobile plastic foil walls. Alternatively, if you want to get the kids out of the classroom, we can arrange for the workshop to take place at one of the city's designated legal street art zones for a truly authentic vibe.

What does the school need to provide for the day?

We take care of everything! Graffitifun provides all the necessary equipment, including premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing, caps, and the painting surfaces. The school only needs to provide an outdoor space (like a sports field or courtyard) and, of course, the enthusiastic learners ready to start their street art journey.

Can the students work on a large group mural together?

Yes, definitely! One of our most popular options for primary schools is creating a collective mural. This is a brilliant way to encourage teamwork as students work together on a large-scale project that represents their school values or a specific theme. It’s a fantastic team-building exercise that leaves a lasting visual legacy on your school walls.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Weather in the Windy City can be unpredictable! If it rains, we can move the workshop indoors to a ventilated gym or hall using our protective floor coverings and specific low-vapour paints. Alternatively, we offer flexible rescheduling options to ensure the kids get the best possible outdoor experience when the sun is shining again.
