Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority during every school holiday session. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our professional artists supervise every spray. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for younger hands to control, ensuring a safe, supervised, and totally fun environment for students to explore their creative side without any worries. Parents can relax while the kids get messy in the best way possible!

Do the kids need to have previous drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to budding Picassos. Our expert San Francisco artists guide the group through the entire process, starting with the basics of 'tagging' and graduating to full-color 'pieces.' We focus on self-expression and having a blast, so no prior artistic talent is required to leave with a masterpiece you're proud of.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

Wear something you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on! While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. Old clothes and comfortable sneakers are the way to go. We recommend avoiding your favorite designer gear or brand-new shoes, just in case a stray mist of spray paint decides to join the party. It's all part of the authentic street art experience!

How long does a typical school holiday workshop last?

Our school holiday workshops in San Francisco typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of urban art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final large-scale project. We've found this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep kids engaged and excited without them getting tired. We can also customize the duration to fit your specific holiday program schedule.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

Everything is included! When you book with Graffitifun, we bring the entire studio to you. This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colors, protective masks, gloves, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on (like Large plastic foils or canvases). You don't need to shop for a single thing; just bring your energy and your imagination, and we will handle the rest of the logistics.

Where in San Francisco do the workshops take place?

We are extremely flexible! We can host workshops at various outdoor locations around the city, or we can come directly to your school, community center, or backyard. If you don't have a spot in mind, we can recommend great local spaces where we can set up our mobile graffiti walls. Our goal is to make it as convenient as possible for your San Francisco school holiday group.

Do the participants get to take their artwork home?

We offer two great options. Often, kids work together on a massive collaborative wall, which is amazing for teamwork and seeing a huge project come to life. However, we also offer options where participants can spray on individual canvases or boards that they can take home as a souvenir of their holiday break. Just let us know which style fits your group's needs better when you're booking!
