How it works
- Intro & History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of street art and the evolution of graffiti culture.
- Safety Briefing: Students get kitted out in protective gear while we explain how to use the equipment safely and respectfully.
- The First Lines: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn basic "can control"—drawing straight lines, dots, and simple shapes.
- Concept Sketching: Before hitting the "wall," students sketch their ideas on paper to plan their colours and layout.
- Filling & Fading: We show the kids how to fill in their letters and create awesome gradient effects like true street artists.
- The Outline: This is where the magic happens! We teach the technique of "cutting" and outlining to make the artwork pop.
- Final Touches: Students add highlights, shadows, and "second outlines" to give their piece that professional urban look.
- Group Gallery: We finish with a showcase where students can explain their work and take photos with their masterpieces.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school session in Kumasi. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep students and their uniforms safe. Our professional instructors are experts at managing groups and ensure that spray cans are used responsibly. We also use low-odour paints whenever possible to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for all participants during the creative process.
What age group is this workshop suitable for?
We usually recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up, as handling spray cans requires a bit of finger strength and coordination. However, we can definitely adapt the programme for younger primary school children using paint markers or water-based alternatives. Whether it's a junior high class or a senior high group, we tailor the complexity of the art techniques to match the students' age and skill level.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, practice sessions, and the final creation of a masterpiece. We are very flexible with school timetables and can condense the session into a double period or expand it into a full-day creative arts intensive if that suits your curriculum better.
Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to our school?
Our Kumasi workshops are fully mobile! We can come directly to your school premises and set up in the playground, sports field, or any well-ventilated outdoor area. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, don't worry—we have access to several vibrant street art locations and legal walls across Kumasi where we can host your students for an authentic urban art experience.
Do the students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional graffiti artists are fantastic teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. Students will learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different effects like fades and outlines. Most students are genuinely surprised by the high-quality artwork they manage to produce by the end of the session!
What are the payment terms for schools?
We believe in professional service, which is why we don't require any upfront payment for school bookings. You can book your date and secure your instructor, and the payment is only settled after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we provided to your students. We aim to make the administrative side as stress-free as possible for teachers.
Are all materials included in the price?
Everything is included! When you book a Graffitifun session, we provide all the spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s individual canvases for students to take home or large boards for a collective mural. You just need to provide the students and an outdoor space; we handle the entire setup and cleanup.
