How it works

  1. Intro & inspiration: We start with a brief history of Hamburg's street art scene and a safety demonstration on how to handle the cans.
  2. Mastering the lines: You'll start on a practice wall, learning how to control pressure to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fades.
  3. Design & sketching: Grab the chalk! You'll sketch out your concept or 'tag' onto the surface, planning your layout before the paint flies.
  4. First layers: Start filling in your shapes with bold colours, learning how to overlap paint without making it muddy.
  5. The 'cut-back': This is where the magic happens. You'll use background colours to sharpen your edges and make your design 'pop'.
  6. Outlining & highlights: Add those final crisp outlines and white highlights to give your artwork depth and a 3D effect.
  7. The big reveal: Step back and admire the collective work! We’ll take professional-style group photos of you and your masterpieces.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic or have spray-painted before?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our workshops in Hamburg are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced layering techniques. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where you can experiment, make mistakes, and ultimately create something you're proud of. It is all about the process and having a blast while learning a new skill.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and stray mist happens! If you are joining us during the cooler Hamburg months, remember to dress in layers as many of our best street art locations are outdoors or in semi-covered urban spaces.

Is the paint safe and what safety gear is provided?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with protective gloves and gear. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or legal outdoor 'Halls of Fame'. Additionally, our instructors are highly experienced and will give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free creative environment for everyone involved.

What exactly is included in the price?

The workshop price is all-inclusive! This covers the hire of the legal painting location, professional artist guidance, all premium spray paint cans in a rainbow of colours, caps/nozzles, protective clothing, and the surfaces we paint on (which could be a large collective wall or individual canvases depending on your booking). There are no hidden fees. You can even use our online Cost Calculator beforehand to get a clear estimate for your specific group.

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Hamburg's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! We have access to several sheltered urban locations and indoor studio spaces across the city. If the 'Schietwetter' gets too intense, we can usually move the session to a covered spot so your creativity doesn't have to damp down. We always monitor the forecast and will coordinate with you to ensure your cultural event goes ahead smoothly regardless of the clouds.

How long does a typical Hamburg workshop session last?

The core workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, technique practice, and the completion of your main masterpiece. If you are planning a larger cultural festival or a complex brand activation, we can certainly extend the timing to fit your schedule. We are flexible and aim to pace the session so that nobody feels rushed while keeping the energy levels high!

What makes Graffitifun different from other workshop providers?

We are proud of our 'Fun Guaranteed' policy. Our artists are not just talented painters; they are entertainers and educators who know how to keep a group engaged. Because we have a large pool of backup artists, we almost never cancel sessions. Plus, with our 'pay after' system, we are incentivised to ensure you have the best possible time. If you aren't happy, we aren't happy – it’s that simple!
