Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants in Port Elizabeth with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional graffiti artists are trained to supervise youth groups, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that the environment remains a safe, positive space for everyone to explore their creativity without any risks.

Do the kids need prior art experience?

Not at all! Our youth projects are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to those who are already artistic. Our instructors walk everyone through the basics, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to letters and shading. We focus on the process and having fun, so every participant leaves feeling like they have created something truly awesome.

Where in Port Elizabeth do these workshops take place?

We are flexible! We can host the workshop at a cool outdoor spot in Port Elizabeth, or we can come to your youth centre, school, or community hall. If we work at your location, we take great care to protect the surroundings using plastic sheeting and boards. We bring all the necessary equipment to set up a professional-grade "street art studio" wherever you are.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard youth project workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the history of the culture, practice their techniques on practice boards, and then complete a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing for full-day community events or shorter festival-style sessions depending on your specific needs and goals.

What materials do we need to provide?

Everything is included! When you book a Graffitifun session, we provide the spray cans in a huge variety of colours, caps/nozzles, protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on (like large wooden panels or canvases). You don't need to worry about a thing—just bring your energy and some old clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

What happens if it rains on the day?

In Port Elizabeth, the weather can be a bit windy! If we are outdoors and it rains, we usually try to move to a covered area or an indoor space with good ventilation. Because we have a large team of backup artists and flexible setups, we always do our best to ensure the workshop goes ahead as planned regardless of the weather.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your youth project in Gqeberha? Here’s why we’re the top choice for local schools and community groups:

Epic Expression: Graffiti is the ultimate "cool" medium that actually gets teens excited to participate! 🎤
Professional Crew: Learn from real-deal artists who live and breathe street culture.
Skills Development: We teach everything from fine motor skills to large-scale spatial planning.
Zero Hassle: We bring all the gear, set it up, and clean it up — you just bring the energy! 🏆
Safety First: We use professional-grade safety equipment so everyone stays protected while they paint.
Flexible & Fair: No upfront payments and backup artists ready to go so the show always goes on.

Step by step

Introduction & Culture: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the history of graffiti and how it evolved from the streets to global galleries.
Safety & Gear: Everyone gets suited up in protective gear. We explain how to use the spray cans safely and respect the environment.
Mastering the Can: Our pros teach the "can control" basics—how to hold the spray, how to manage pressure, and how to create clean lines.
Sketching the Concept: Participants brainstorm their designs on paper first, focusing on tags, throw-ups, or a collective community theme.
Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! The youth start applying their designs to the boards, learning how to fill large areas with vibrant colour.
Adding Details: We teach advanced tricks like "fading," "highlighting," and adding that final "power-line" to make the art pop.
The Big Reveal: Once the paint is dry, the group unveils their collective mural or individual pieces to the backdrop of some great music.
Group Photo & Clean-up: We wrap up with a classic crew photo in front of the art and ensure the site is left spotless and tidy.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can customise sessions for half-day or full-day events.
Group Sizes: We cater to groups from 10 to 100+ participants with multiple instructors.
Included: All premium spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, overalls, and painting surfaces.
Safety: We use high-quality low-pressure cans and provide full respiratory protection.
Flexibility: We can set up at your location or suggest a great local spot in PE.

We love bringing our workshops here because the local youth have an incredible "can-do" attitude that fits perfectly with graffiti culture.
