Do I need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Bristol pop-up events are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, nozzle selection, and layering. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they arrive, but they leave with a finished piece they are proud of and a new set of skills.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the full graffiti experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a massive range of colours, various caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be painting on, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes.

What should I wear to the graffiti event?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. Spray paint is permanent and sometimes a little 'mist' can catch your sleeves or shoes. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are a must. Since many of our pop-up locations in Bristol are outdoors or in semi-covered spaces, dressing for the weather is also a smart move.

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our instructors are highly experienced and will give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone maintains a safe distance while painting to ensure a fun, hazard-free environment.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after the workshop' policy for most bookings, which offers you ultimate peace of mind. Additionally, we have a large team of backup artists available across the South West. This means that even if your lead artist falls ill, we almost always have a professional ready to step in so your event isn't cancelled.

Where in Bristol do these pop-up events take place?

Pop-up events are incredibly flexible! We can host them at various partner locations across Bristol, from creative hubs in Stokes Croft to event spaces near the Harbourside. If you have your own venue or a specific spot in mind, let us know. We are mobile and can set up our professional graffiti boards almost anywhere that has enough space and ventilation for the group.
