Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary and secondary school children?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control. Every participant is provided with a full set of protective gear, including gloves, masks, and aprons. Our professional artists are DBS-checked and have years of experience working with children in educational environments, ensuring a supervised, structured, and completely safe creative space for every student.

What happens if it rains during our Edinburgh workshop?

While we love the Edinburgh weather, we don't let a bit of drizzle stop the fun! We have several covered outdoor locations across the city, and many of our workshops can be held indoors using specialized water-based, low-odour spray paint that is safe for internal use. If the weather is truly extreme, we offer flexible rescheduling options or will coordinate with your school to use a gym or hall.

Do the students need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and explaining different nozzle types. We guide the students through the design process step-by-step. By the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw a stick figure' will be amazed at the professional-looking masterpiece they've created.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything needed for a legendary session! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, protective masks, gloves, aprons, and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, a board, or individual canvases). We also bring sketching materials. All the students need to bring is their enthusiasm and clothes they don't mind getting a little dusty—just in case! We handle all the setup and the cleanup.

How long does a typical afternoon session last?

A standard after-school graffiti workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final piece. However, we can easily adapt the timing to fit your specific school timetable or club schedule. Whether you need a quick 60-minute taster or a comprehensive 3-hour masterclass, we can tailor the experience to your needs.

How do we book a workshop for our school or youth group?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can start by using our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply fill out our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Our team will handle the logistics, checking availability for your preferred date in Edinburgh and matching you with the perfect local artist.

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school activity? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s an explosion of creativity that Edinburgh students absolutely love! Here’s why we’re the top choice for schools:

Boosts creative confidence: Watch as even the shyest students find their voice through bold colours and giant letters. ✨

Étape par étape

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly.
The tag creator: Before picking up a can, students sketch their ideas. Use our online Tag Creator for inspiration to design a unique moniker!
First lines: We head to the wall (or board) where students learn 'can control'—practising dots, thin lines, and thick flares.
Filling in: Learn the technique of 'filling'—applying solid blocks of colour smoothly and efficiently without drips.
Outlining and highlights: This is where the art pops! Students add sharp outlines and 'force fields' or highlights to give their work depth.
Adding details: Using skinny caps, we add those final intricate details, bubbles, or characters that make the artwork unique.
The big reveal: We take a step back to admire the collective mural or individual pieces. It's the perfect time for a group photo!
Clean up: Our team handles all the packing up, ensuring the site is left spotless and the students head home inspired and clean.

Edinburgh is world-renowned for its traditional architecture, but its contemporary street art scene is equally captivating. From the hidden gems in the Pitt Street Market area to the legal walls in Sighthill, the city is a canvas for local legends. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students that creativity isn't just found in the National Gallery—it's on the very streets they walk every day. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Edinburgh's "Graffiti Pier" at Leith Docks is an ever-changing outdoor gallery where some of Scotland's most famous street artists first started their careers?
