Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for individuals with physical disabilities?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our Durban sessions use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, and our instructors are trained to provide constant supervision and support. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and spacious enough for everyone to move comfortably and safely throughout the artistic process.

How do you handle different learning or cognitive abilities?

We believe that art is a universal language. Our Durban artists are experienced in working with various learning needs and neurodivergent participants. We keep our instructions clear, visual, and simple. The tactile nature of spray painting is often a wonderful sensory experience. We can adjust the pace of the workshop to ensure no one feels rushed or overwhelmed, focusing entirely on the joy of creation.

Are your workshop locations in Durban wheelchair accessible?

Yes, our Durban venues are hand-picked to be wheelchair accessible. We ensure there is plenty of flat ground and enough space between the canvases/walls for easy maneuverability. If we are coming to your location in Durban, we will coordinate with you beforehand to ensure the setup is perfectly arranged for your group's specific mobility requirements. Nobody gets left behind in our creative sessions!

Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! This experience is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to budding artists. We guide you through every single step, from holding the can to creating your first 'tag'. In Durban, we focus on the experience and the fun of self-expression rather than technical perfection. You'll be surprised at the amazing masterpiece you can create with just a little bit of guidance.

How long does a typical special needs workshop last?

We are totally flexible. A typical special needs workshop in Durban lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, but we can shorten or lengthen the session based on the group's energy levels and attention spans. We include regular breaks and ensure the atmosphere remains relaxed. Our goal is to provide a positive, stress-free environment where everyone can enjoy themselves at their own comfortable pace.

What materials do we need to bring to the workshop?

Everything is included! When you book a session in Durban, we provide all the spray paint, caps, gloves, masks, and protective clothing. We also provide the canvases or boards that you'll be painting on. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'art' on—just in case! We handle all the setup and the cleanup.

How do I book a session and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and risk-free! You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed to your satisfaction. We also have backup artists available in the Durban area, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the admin side as smooth as the painting!
