Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely no art experience is needed! Our Glasgow workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to those who’ve dabbled in street art before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps, ensuring that every student walks away with a piece they’re proud of. We focus on the fun and the process, taking the pressure off so you can just enjoy being creative with your peers.

Is the spray paint safe to use on campus?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our artists are also fully trained in safety protocols and will provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone picks up a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for your university group.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard university graffiti workshop in Glasgow typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives your group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tagging' and 'piece' styles, and then complete a final collaborative mural or individual canvases. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into a specific society meeting slot or a larger campus-wide event schedule.

Where in Glasgow do these workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations! We can bring the workshop directly to your Glasgow campus if you have a suitable outdoor space, or we can host you at one of the city's iconic legal graffiti spots. If the Scottish weather isn't playing ball, we can also arrange for indoor sessions using low-odour paints or protective sheeting. Just let us know where you'd like to be!

What is the maximum group size for a university workshop?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size! For smaller university societies, we offer an intimate, hands-on experience. For larger university-wide events or induction weeks, we can set up multiple 'stations' with several artists to manage hundreds of students throughout the day. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we can scale up quickly to ensure everyone gets a chance to spray.

Do we have to pay in advance for the booking?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, making it easy for university finance departments or student union treasurers to process the invoice without any stress.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to create amazing street art. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas'—whether that's a large wooden wall for a mural or individual canvases for students to take home. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your creative energy!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next university event? It’s more than just painting; it’s a chance to build something together and express your identity in a city world-renowned for its art. Here’s why Glasgow students love us:

Stress-busting creativity: Studies are hard—spraying a wall is the perfect way to let off steam and reset your brain. 🧠
Epic society bonding: Nothing brings a committee or a new group of students together like collaborating on a massive mural. 🤝
Pro-artist guidance: You’re not just handed a can; you’re mentored by real artists who live and breathe Scottish street art. 🏆
Zero risk booking: With no upfront payment and 100% satisfaction guaranteed, it's the easiest event you'll ever plan. ✅

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: Our pro artist kicks things off with a brief history of Glasgow’s urban art scene and a demo of basic styles.
Safety briefing: We suit everyone up in protective gear and explain how to use the equipment safely and responsibly.
Mastering the nozzle: You'll learn 'can control'—how to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the design: Use chalk or light paint to map out your letters or characters on the wall or canvas.
The first layer: Start filling in your shapes with bold colours, learning how to layer paint without drips.
Outlining & 3D: Add those sharp outlines and '3D' shadows that make graffiti letters pop off the surface.
Final flares & highlights: Add the 'bits and pieces'—shines, bubbles, and flares that give the work a professional finish.
The big reveal: Step back as a group to admire the completed mural and take those all-important Instagram photos!

Local culture

Glasgow is a city that wears its heart on its walls. From the incredible 'City Centre Mural Trail' featuring photorealistic giants to the hidden gems in the West End, street art is baked into Glasgow's DNA. It's a city that respects the hustle and the craft of the artist, making it the perfect backdrop for your own creative journey. We often take inspiration from the "Dear Green Place" and the local legends who have paved the way for the UK's urban art scene.

🎨 Fun Fact: Glasgow is home to some of the largest street art murals in the UK! The 'St. Mungo' mural on High Street is so famous it has become a modern landmark of the city, proving that graffiti is a powerful tool for storytelling and community pride.
