Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teens?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, we prioritize the safety of all participants. We provide high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use professional-grade paint in outdoor or well-ventilated spaces, ensuring a fun and secure environment for students to explore their creativity during their break from school.

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our Halifax school holiday workshops, we recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This ensures that the participants have the physical strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the artist's instructions. We tailor our teaching style to the specific age group, making sure everyone from pre-teens to high schoolers feels challenged and inspired throughout the session.

Do we need any previous artistic experience?

No prior art experience is needed! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to budding young Picassos. Our professional artists walk you through the process step-by-step, starting with basic lines and moving to advanced 3D effects. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring every student leaves with a piece of art they are proud of.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! We provide everything required for a stellar street art experience: professional spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), and the canvases or surfaces we will be painting on. All you need to bring is your creativity, some comfortable old shoes, and an upbeat attitude for a day of creative expression.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops in Halifax typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of graffiti, practice different spraying techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and engagement peaking without the participants getting tired.

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

Usually, the weather in Halifax doesn't stop the fun! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the weather turns sour, we often have indoor backup locations or can reschedule. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are very flexible. We’ll always communicate with you ahead of time to ensure the workshop goes off without a hitch.
