Do I need to be an artist to participate?

You don't need a single ounce of artistic talent to join our East London street art experience! Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading. We focus on the fun and the process, ensuring everyone walks away with a piece of art they are proud of and a massive smile on their face.🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority at every South African festival. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are professional-grade, and our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure a controlled, creative environment where everyone can express themselves without any worries.🛡️

What should I wear to the festival workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'creative' on. While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think of it as a badge of honour from your time as an East London street artist!👟

Is this activity suitable for children?

For our festival-style workshops in East London, we typically recommend a minimum age of 6 to 8 years old. This ensures they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and can follow the safety instructions. We love seeing youngsters get involved in the local art scene and often have specialized caps for smaller hands to make it easier for them!✨

How long does the graffiti session last?

Our standard festival workshop experiences usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the introduction, technical practice on the practice walls, and then the final creation of your masterpiece. It’s the perfect amount of time to get into the flow without getting too tired, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the festival!⏱️

What is included in the price?

Everything is included! When you book with Graffitifun, we provide the spray paint, specialized caps/nozzles, canvases or wall space, and all necessary protective gear (overalls, gloves, and masks). You just need to bring your energy and creativity—we handle all the logistics and cleanup so you can focus on the art.🎨

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can change, especially with South Africa's unpredictable weather! Graffitifun offers a flexible booking policy. One of our biggest perks is that no upfront payment is required—you pay after the workshop. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead even if there’s a last-minute hitch. Your peace of mind is vital to us.✅

Local culture

East London, or "Slummies" as the locals affectionately call it, has a growing heart for alternative culture and raw talent. While the city is famous for its incredible surfing spots like Nahoon Reef, the urban landscape is increasingly becoming a canvas for local expression. Our workshops tap into this coastal energy, blending the relaxed East London vibe with the high-octane world of street art. We love setting up near the beachfront or in the industrial-chic areas of the city where the echoes of South African creativity are loudest. 🌊

Fun Fact: Did you know East London is home to the world's only dodo egg? Just like that rare find, the street art scene here is unique and full of surprises you won't find in the bigger metros! 🇿🇦
