Is this workshop suitable for people with limited mobility or coordination?

Absolutely! We focus on 'process over product.' Our artists are trained to adapt their teaching style to match every individual's motor skills and cognitive needs. Whether it's using larger nozzles for easier spraying or providing physical assistance to guide a stroke, we make sure everyone feels the thrill of seeing their ideas come to life on the wall. No previous art experience is required at all!

What safety measures and gear do you provide during the session?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality, low-odour spray paint whenever possible and supply all necessary protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Melbourne. Our instructors are also briefed on specific sensory sensitivities to ensure the environment remains comfortable and non-triggering for all participants throughout the session.

Do you offer private sessions for individuals with sensory sensitivities?

Yes, we do! We understand that some participants may find large groups or loud public spaces overwhelming. We can arrange for a private, quiet session at a location that suits you, or even come to your facility if there is a suitable outdoor wall or space. This allows for a more focused, one-on-one experience where the participant can explore their creativity at their own pace without external pressure.

How long does a typical workshop last and can it be adjusted?

Our standard Special Needs workshops in Melbourne usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. We've found this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining engagement and energy without causing fatigue. However, we are completely flexible; if the group needs more frequent breaks or a shorter, high-impact session, we can easily tailor the schedule to fit the specific stamina and attention spans of your group.

What should participants wear and bring to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'outdoor' clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective aprons, graffiti can be a messy business! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Other than that, just bring your enthusiasm and maybe some water. We take care of everything else, from the professional-grade spray cans and nozzles to the canvases and protective equipment.

How do we book a session and is there an upfront cost?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can start by using our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us an enquiry through our contact form. We don’t require any upfront payment to secure your date — you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. We'll chat with you beforehand to understand any specific requirements and ensure we have the right artist for your group.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your next outing or program in Melbourne? Because we specialize in turning 'I can't' into 'Look what I made!' Here’s why our special needs program is a local favourite:

Sensory-rich experience: The sound of the ball rattling, the feel of the spray, and the visual boom of colour provide amazing sensory stimulation. 🎤
Tailored pacing: We don't rush. We follow the lead of the participants, allowing for breaks and slow-paced learning.
Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful artwork that YOU helped create provides an enormous sense of accomplishment. 💪
Inclusive locations: We know Melbourne's best accessible spots, ensuring nobody gets left behind due to stairs or uneven ground.
Expert mentors: Our artists aren't just great at graffiti; they are compassionate, patient, and love sharing their craft with everyone. 🌟

Step by step

Initial chat and planning: We start by discussing your group's specific needs, mobility requirements, and sensory preferences to pick the perfect Melbourne location.
Safety first: On the day, we kit everyone out in protective gear, including masks and aprons, and explain how to use the equipment safely.
The basics of banz: Our pro artists demonstrate simple techniques, from making dots and lines to understanding how pressure affects the spray.
Sketching the vision: We help participants brainstorm their designs or 'tags' on paper first to build confidence before hitting the wall.
The first layer: Time to shake the cans! Everyone starts applying their base colours under the cheering guidance of our instructors.
Adding the details: We assist with adding shadows, highlights, and outlines to make the artwork really pop and take shape.
The finishing touches: Participants add their final creative flares and 'sign' their masterpieces.
Group photo and celebration: We capture the proud smiles and incredible artwork on camera to remember the day.
Cleanup and wrap-up: We handle all the messy bits, leaving you only with the great memories and a sense of achievement!

Local culture

Melbourne is world-renowned for its laneway culture—places like Hosier Lane and AC/DC Lane are the pulse of our city. Our workshops tap into this iconic "Melbourne vibe," giving participants a genuine taste of the local street art scene in a controlled, accessible way. We love bringing our sessions to local hubs from Brunswick to St Kilda, ensuring the spirit of Melbourne’s creativity is felt by all. ✨

Fun fact: Did you know that Melbourne was one of the first cities in the world to have a designated "Street Art Board"? This helped transform our city into the massive outdoor gallery it is today! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop pricing is designed to be as inclusive as our art. Costs typically range from A$40 to A$90 per person, depending on the number of participants, the length of the session, and any specific equipment needs.

To keep things easy, we offer a no upfront payment policy—you only pay once the workshop is done and you're happy with the experience. We also have a backup artist system in place so your event is never cancelled at the last minute! 🏆
