Why choose a Graffitifun workshop in the Hanseatic city? It's more than just painting—it's an unforgettable confidence booster. Here is why parents and kids love us:

  • Expert Hamburg Artists: Our crew consists of active street artists who know the Hamburg scene inside out and love sharing their craft. 🎤
  • Zero Hassle for You: We provide absolutely everything. You just show up and watch the magic happen (or go grab a coffee!). ☕

How it works

  1. Intro & Gear Up: We start with a warm welcome and suit up in protective gear to keep those holiday outfits clean.
  2. Street Art History: A quick, high-energy chat about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved from New York subways to Hamburg's streets.
  3. The Sketching Phase: Grab a marker! We help everyone brainstorm their 'tag' or design on paper before moving to the wall.
  4. Can control 101: Our artists demonstrate how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and master 'nozzle logic' for different line widths.
  5. The Outline: Time to make your mark! Participants start sketching their large-scale design onto their designated area.
  6. Filling & Fading: This is where the magic happens. We teach cool techniques like gradients, 3D effects, and 'fat cap' fills.
  7. The Finishing Touches: Using contrasting colours to add highlights and sharp outlines that make the artwork pop.
  8. Group Photo & Cleanup: We celebrate the finished masterpieces with a photoshoot—the perfect holiday souvenir!

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting skills are needed. Our professional artists are expert teachers who specialize in breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether your child is a natural doodler or has never touched a spray can before, we guarantee they will walk away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It is all about the process and having a blast!

How safe is the workshop for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. Our spray paints are selected for low-odour and safety. Every session begins with a comprehensive safety briefing where we teach kids how to handle the cans responsibly and maintain a safe distance from others while painting. You can relax knowing they are in expert hands.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a few speckles of paint on. While we do provide full protective suits and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business, and spray paint is notoriously difficult to remove from fabric. Think of it as 'art clothes'—the more comfortable and expendable, the better! This allows the kids to focus entirely on their creativity without worrying about spills.

What happens if the artist is sick or it rains?

We pride ourselves on reliability. Unlike individual freelancers who might cancel last minute, Graffitifun has a large team of professional artists. We always have backup artists on standby to ensure your scheduled workshop goes ahead as planned. If the weather is exceptionally poor for an outdoor session, we will coordinate with you to find a covered alternative or a suitable new date. Your holiday plans are safe with us!

How long does the graffiti session last?

Standard school holiday workshops in Hamburg typically run for about 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the history of street art, practice basic can control, and complete a final masterpiece. For larger groups or specialized holiday programmes, we can adjust the duration to fit your schedule. It’s an intensive, high-energy session that keeps kids engaged from start to finish without any lulls.

How do we handle payment for the holiday workshop?

We offer total flexibility! You can choose to pay on-site after the workshop is completed, or we can send an invoice for bank transfer. We don't require upfront deposits for most standard bookings because we believe in the quality of our service. Our goal is to make the booking process as stress-free as the workshop itself, allowing you to focus on the holiday fun.

Are there any age restrictions for the participants?

The minimum age is generally 6 or 7 years old, as children need enough hand strength to press the spray nozzle. However, we have specialized techniques for younger creators too! We cater to primary school kids, teenagers, and even young adults. Our artists adapt their coaching style and the complexity of the designs based on the age group to ensure everyone feels challenged but successful.
