Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Gwangju workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something awesome. We provide a supportive, fun environment where the goal is to express yourself and have a great time while learning a new skill.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We want you to stay clean while getting creative! Graffitifun provides high-quality protective gear, including overalls, gloves, and masks. However, graffiti can be a bit messy, so we recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Once you're suited up, you can spray away with total confidence and focus on your masterpiece!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including professional-grade masks and gloves. The workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced professionals who oversee the entire process to ensure everyone stays safe while having the time of their lives. It is a perfectly safe activity for tourists of all ages.

Can children participate in the graffiti experience?

Yes! Our tourist workshops in Gwangju are designed to be family-friendly. We usually recommend a minimum age of 6 to 8 years old so they have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles, but we have techniques to help the younger ones too. It’s a fantastic way for families visiting South Korea to bond and create a unique souvenir together. Everyone gets to contribute to the creative process!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard tourist workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti culture, a practice session to learn the basics, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a larger group or want a more intensive masterclass, we can certainly extend the duration to fit your travel itinerary. We are all about flexibility!

Do I get to keep what I make?

We love the community spirit of graffiti! For our tourist experiences, you will typically work on a large shared wall or individual canvases depending on the package you choose. Most travelers enjoy the collaborative "mural" style where you contribute to a bigger piece of art, but we can also arrange for you to take home a custom canvas if you want a physical memory of Gwangju.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

We understand that travel plans can change. That’s why Graffitifun offers a very flexible booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You can book your spot in Gwangju today and pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible. We even have backup artists ready to ensure your session goes ahead as planned.
