Are the workshops safe for young people?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our Leeds artists are fully trained in health and safety protocols and provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone feels confident and secure throughout the session.

Do participants need to have any artistic talent?

Not at all! Our youth projects are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. Our professional tutors break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on the 'fun' element of street art, ensuring that every participant walks away with a piece of work they are genuinely proud of, regardless of their prior artistic experience.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard youth project workshop in Leeds usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety demo, sketching phase, and plenty of actual painting time. We can also adapt the timing for full-day events or half-day 'taster' sessions depending on your specific project goals and the age group involved.

Where in Leeds do the workshops take place?

We are super flexible! We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spaces in Leeds, or we can bring the entire 'pop-up' studio to your youth club, community centre, or school. All we need is a well-ventilated area or an outdoor space. We provide all the covering materials to ensure the venue stays clean and tidy.

Do we need to pay in advance?

We believe in a 'stress-free' booking process. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Payment is only required after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives youth project organisers peace of mind and ensures you are 100% happy with the experience we've delivered to your group before any funds are transferred.

What equipment is included in the price?

We provide everything! This includes premium low-pressure spray paint (easier to control), safety gear, boards or canvases to paint on, and specialized markers for fine details. We also bring inspiration sheets and sketches to help spark creativity. All the participants need to bring is some old clothes they don't mind getting a bit of paint on!

Can we create a collaborative mural?

Yes, definitely! We love working on large-scale community projects. We can facilitate a session where the group works together to create a massive mural on a wall or a series of large boards that can be permanently displayed at your youth centre. It’s a fantastic way to build teamwork and leave a lasting artistic legacy in the local Leeds community.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your next youth initiative in Leeds? Because we combine raw energy with professional structure. Here is why we’re the top choice for local youth leaders:

Confidence boost: Seeing a giant piece of art they created themselves gives young people a massive sense of achievement. ✨
Professional artists: Our tutors aren't just 'art teachers' — they are active members of the street art community who live and breathe this culture.
Zero risk: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artist guarantee, your event is in safe hands.
Skill building: Participants learn colour theory, composition, and can control — skills that translate into many other creative paths. 🎤
Inclusive fun: Graffiti is a great leveller; it appeals to those who might struggle with traditional 'sit-down' academic subjects.
All-inclusive: We handle the logistics, the gear, and the cleanup, so you can focus on supporting your group.

Step by step

Initial creative chat: Reach out to us with your vision. We’ll discuss the goals for your Leeds youth group and find the perfect date.
Design and concept: We help the group brainstorm themes. Whether it's local Leeds pride or a specific social message, we get the ideas flowing.
Safety first: On the day, we kit everyone out in protective gear and go through our 'graffiti 101' safety induction.
Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate different nozzle techniques, showing how to make thin lines, fat fills, and cool fades.
Sketching the masterpiece: Participants start by sketching their ideas on paper or lightly outlining their 'tag' on the canvas.
The painting phase: The cans start clicking! This is the high-energy part where the group brings their designs to life with vibrant colours.
Adding the details: We teach how to use highlights, shadows, and 'cuts' to make the artwork pop and look professional.
The big reveal: We finish with a group showcase where everyone shares their work and the story behind it.
Clean up and wrap: We handle all the messy bits, leaving the venue spotless and the participants buzzing with confidence.

Good to know

Our Leeds youth projects are built for flexibility and fun. We usually recommend sessions of 2 to 3 hours to ensure everyone gets enough 'can-time', but we can tailor this to your schedule. We provide full safety equipment, including FFP3 masks and overalls. Whether you have a small group of 10 or a huge community event of 50+, our team of artists (and our backup squad!) ensures everything runs like clockwork. We can set up in community halls, car parks, or school playgrounds across West Yorkshire. 🎨

Local culture

Leeds is a city that breathes creativity, from the legal walls at the Mabgate area to the stunning murals decorating the Corn Exchange. Our workshops tap into this local 'Loiner' spirit, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the city’s industrial heritage and its modern, diverse vibe. We love helping youth groups explore the Leeds street art scene as a legitimate form of expression and community building. 🔥

Fun fact: Did you know Leeds is home to one of the tallest murals in the UK? The 'Athena Rising' mural near the train station stands at a whopping 46 metres tall—proof that in Leeds, we dream big and paint bigger!

Pricing

We believe top-tier creative experiences should be accessible. Our graffiti workshops in Leeds generally range from £25 to £55 per person. This price varies based on the size of your group, the duration of the project, and whether we are painting on individual canvases or a giant shared mural. The best part? No upfront payment is required — you only pay once the spray paint has dried and the smiles are visible! 🏆
