How long does a university graffiti workshop usually last?

Our standard university graffiti workshops in Cape Town typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, technique practice on practice walls, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger student society event, we can adjust the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

Is it safe to use spray paint during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our professional artists are trained to manage groups safely, and we use low-odour, high-quality spray paint wherever possible. We always recommend hosting the event in a well-ventilated outdoor space to ensure maximum safety and comfort for all students.

Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

No skills? No problem! Most students have never touched a spray can before joining us. Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, controlling pressure, and making clean lines—before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and fading. You'll be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

Where do the workshops take place in Cape Town?

We are fully mobile! We can come directly to your Cape Town campus if there is a suitable outdoor area, or we can host you at one of our dedicated street art spots in creative hubs like Woodstock. We handle all the logistics, from floor protection to setting up mobile walls, ensuring a hassle-free experience for student organisers and faculty members alike.

Do we need to pay a deposit to book our session?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This makes it much easier for university treasurers and student councils to manage their budgets without the stress of deposits.

Can we create a collaborative mural for our campus?

Absolutely! We love it when universities want to create something permanent. We can arrange for the group to paint a large-scale mural on a campus wall (with permission, of course!) or on large wooden panels that can be displayed in the student union or faculty buildings. It's a fantastic way to leave a lasting creative legacy on your campus.

What should students bring or wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and old clothes, just in case! Even though we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sneakers. Other than that, just bring your energy and creativity. We provide all the professional cans, caps, safety gear, and surfaces. We even have backup artists ready to ensure your event goes off without a hitch!

Step by step

Intro and history: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of graffiti culture, specifically looking at the vibrant street art scene right here in the Mother City.
Safety briefing: Student safety is key. We get everyone suited up in masks, gloves, and overalls while explaining the do's and don'ts of spray painting.
Mastering the can: Our pro artists demonstrate fundamental techniques—how to switch caps, control the spray flow, and create different line widths like a pro.
Sketching the vision: Students get to brainstorm their designs. Whether it’s a personal tag or a collaborative university-themed piece, we help you get the concept on paper first.
First lines: It’s time to hit the wall! Guided by our instructors, you'll start outlining your piece and getting a feel for the vertical canvas.
Filling and fading: Learn the "fill" technique and how to create those iconic gradients and fades that make graffiti pop off the wall.
The sharp outline: This is where the magic happens. We teach you how to do "cutting" and final outlines to make your artwork look sharp and professional.
Final touches and highlights: Add the "sparkles" and highlights that give your work depth and character under the Cape Town sun.
The big reveal: We wrap up with a group photo and a celebration of the creative energy. You’ve officially made your mark!

Local culture

Cape Town is more than just a city; it’s a living gallery. From the politically charged murals of District Six to the internationally acclaimed street art of Woodstock, the "Mother City" breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, drawing inspiration from the incredible artists who have turned the city's walls into stories. We love bringing that urban spirit to campuses like UCT or Stellenbosch, bridging the gap between academic life and Cape Town’s vibrant street culture. ✨

Fun Fact: Woodstock, just a stone's throw from many student hubs, hosts over 100 world-class murals, making it one of the premier street art destinations in the Southern Hemisphere!

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing and zero stress for student budgets. Our Cape Town university workshops generally range from R400 to R900 per person.

The final price depends on your total group size, the location, and whether you want to paint on individual canvases or a giant communal mural. Best of all? No upfront payment is required—you pay after the fun is done!
