Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to join our Durban youth projects. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps, from holding the can correctly to mastering basic shapes. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring everyone feels confident and successful by the end of the session. It is all about expression, not perfection.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor halls. Furthermore, our artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and safely throughout the entire duration of the project.

How long does a typical youth session last?

A standard youth project workshop in Durban typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule or event requirements.

Where in Durban do these workshops take place?

We bring the party to you! We can host workshops at community centres, schools, sports clubs, or even private backyards across Durban. If you do not have a venue, let us know—we can often suggest local spots or 'legal walls' where the project can take place. We are fully mobile and bring all the equipment to your chosen site.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, different nozzle types (caps) for various effects, protective clothing, masks, and the "canvas" (which could be a wooden boarding, a wall, or individual canvases). You just need to bring your energy and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

What is the age limit for the youth projects?

Our workshops are generally designed for youth aged 10 and up. For teenagers, it is an especially hit activity because it feels rebellious and cool while being completely legal and constructive. We tailor our teaching style based on the age group to ensure the language and techniques are age-appropriate and engaging for everyone involved.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next youth initiative in Durban? It's more than just art; it's a transformative experience that resonates with the younger generation. ✨

Pure Engagement: Traditional art can sometimes feel boring for teens—graffiti is "cool" and keeps them focused from start to finish. 🎤
No Skills Required: Our inclusive approach ensures that every kid, regardless of their artistic background, creates something they are proud of. 💪
Teamwork in Action: Creating a collaborative mural requires communication, compromise, and collective effort. 🤝
Safe & Legal: We provide a controlled environment where youth can explore street art without the risks of "vandalism." 🏆
Professional Mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they are great role models who love sharing their passion with the next generation. 🎉

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro about the history of street art and how it evolved from the streets to galleries.
Safety first: Every participant gets kitted out in protective gear and receives a safety briefing on how to handle the equipment.
Mastering the tool: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching you how to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the vision: Participants brainstorm themes and sketch their ideas on paper before moving to the big surface.
First strokes: Under the guidance of our mentors, the youth start applying their base colours to the wall or canvas.
Adding the 'pop': This is where we teach 3D effects, highlights, and outlines to make the artwork jump off the surface.
The final touch: We spend the last part of the session refining details and adding those signature tags to the work.
Photo op & cleanup: We wrap up by taking group photos with the masterpiece and ensuring the area is left spotless.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can customise for full-day community programmes.
Group Size: We cater to small groups of 10 or large scale youth events with 100+ participants.
What's Included: All spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, overalls, and the painting surface.
Weather: We have "Plan B" indoor options or backup dates in case the Durban humidity turns into a downpour!
Safety: Led by professional artists with a 100% focus on a safe, supervised environment.

Local culture

Durban is a city defined by its grit and its glow—from the bustling markets of Warwick Junction to the sleek promenade of the Golden Mile. Our youth projects tap into this local "Durbs" spirit, blending the city's surf culture, skate vibes, and rich multicultural heritage into every mural we create. Graffiti here isn't just paint; it is a reflection of the sunny, resilient soul of KwaZulu-Natal.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Durban is home to some of South Africa's most iconic "legal walls"? Places like the Rivertown Precinct have transformed into open-air galleries, proving that street art is a vital part of the city's urban rejuvenation! 🇿🇦✨

Pricing

Our youth project pricing is designed to be accessible for community groups and schools. Because every project is unique—varying by the number of participants and the size of the final mural—we offer tiered pricing to suit your budget.

Estimated range: R400 - R900 per person

This includes all professional materials and expert guidance. For large-scale community initiatives or multi-day programmes, we offer special group rates.
