Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Most school graffiti workshops in Lagos last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the art form, practice basic spray techniques, and complete a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific school schedule to follow, we can adjust the timing to fit into a double period or a half-day art intensive session.
Is the spray paint safe for students to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons for every student. Our artists are experienced in managing groups and ensure that spray cans are used responsibly. We also prefer working in well-ventilated outdoor areas, such as the school sports field or courtyard, to ensure everyone breathes fresh air while they create.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw simple lines. Our professional artists guide students step-by-step, so even those who don't think they are 'artistic' end up creating something they are really proud of by the end of the day.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides the spray cans, a wide variety of paint colors, protective equipment, and the 'canvas' (which could be mobile wooden panels, large plastic films, or a designated school wall). The only thing the school needs to provide is a space to work and enthusiastic students ready to learn something new.
What are the educational benefits of this workshop?
A graffiti workshop is a fantastic way to teach teamwork, boost self-confidence, and explore contemporary art history. It’s a physical, hands-on activity that engages students who might struggle with traditional classroom learning. Plus, it gives students a sense of ownership over their environment if they are creating a permanent mural for the school premises.
How does the payment process work?
Booking is easy and stress-free. You don't need to pay anything upfront. Once we agree on the date, time, and group size, we lock it in. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% happy with the service we provided to your students before any money changes hands.
What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?
Yes, we have a large team of professional artists across Nigeria. If an artist falls ill or has an emergency, we have backup artists ready to step in. This means your school event will never be cancelled at the last minute due to artist unavailability. We understand how important school scheduling is and we respect your time.
