Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our Pretoria workshop participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and 3D effects. By the time you're finished, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and being creative in a relaxed environment.

What should I wear and is it messy?

Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, just in case. Our water-based and low-odour paints are professional grade but handled with all the necessary precautions to ensure a safe experience for everyone involved.

How long does the workshop last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Pretoria usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have specific time constraints for your event, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your schedule perfectly. Just let us know your requirements!

Where in Pretoria do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spaces in Pretoria, or we can bring the entire setup to your office, school, or event venue. We use mobile graffiti walls and protective coverings to ensure no permanent marks are left behind. Whether it's an indoor warehouse vibe or an outdoor garden setting, we make the magic happen wherever you are.

What is included in the price?

Everything is included! When you book with Graffitifun, we provide all the professional spray paint in a huge range of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. You don't need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm and a bit of "Jacaranda City" spirit. We handle the setup and the cleanup so you can focus entirely on the art.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Pretoria weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If you've booked an outdoor session and the rain moves in, we usually have indoor backup options or mobile setups that can be used under cover. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We’ll work with you to ensure your graffiti experience goes ahead smoothly, rain or shine.

Can you accommodate large corporate groups?

Our workshops are incredibly popular for all types of groups! While the onboarding workshop is great for individuals and small teams, we also specialise in corporate teambuilding, school groups, kids' parties, and bachelor parties. Whether you are 5 people or 500, we scale our Pretoria events to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the cans and personal guidance from our lead artists.
