How it works

- Sketching Designs: Students grab paper and markers to plan their tags and 'throw-ups' before touching a spray can.
- Basic Techniques: We teach 'can control'—how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
- The Big Mural: Working together, the class starts filling in a large-scale collaborative piece under the artist's guidance.
- Adding Details: This is where the magic happens! We add 'cut-backs', highlights, and 3D shadows to make the art pop.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We also use low-odour professional spray paints. Our instructors are trained to manage student groups safely, ensuring everyone follows the ground rules while having a blast. We've hosted hundreds of school sessions across Ghana and Europe with a spotless safety record. Your students are in very capable, artistic hands!
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop in Tamale usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, just let us know! We are experts at timing our sessions to fit perfectly within double periods or dedicated art days.
Do we need to provide any materials?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing, caps, and the 'canvas' (which could be boards, a wall, or even individual canvases for students to take home). All you need to provide is an outdoor or well-ventilated space and a group of excited students ready to learn. We handle the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.
What if my students have no artistic experience?
The beauty of graffiti is that it’s for everyone! No previous drawing or painting skill is required. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from holding the can correctly to creating cool 3D effects. We find that students who don't usually enjoy traditional 'fine art' often thrive in our graffiti workshops because it's so tactile and energetic. Everyone goes home feeling like an artist.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether you want an intensive session for a small art club of 10 or a massive collaborative project for an entire year group of 100+, we can make it work. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional backup artists to ensure every student gets enough 1-on-1 guidance and 'can-time'. Just tell us your numbers and we'll scale accordingly.
Do I need to pay upfront to secure the booking?
Not at all! You don't pay a penny until the workshop is completed. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. After the session is finished and your students are buzzing with excitement, we'll handle the payment details. It makes the booking process stress-free and easy for school administrators.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
While we usually prefer working outdoors for ventilation, we can definitely move things along if the clouds burst! We often use gazebos or find covered outdoor areas like sports halls or lunch sheds. If the weather looks truly impossible, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule quickly. In Tamale's heat, we also make sure to work in the shade so the students (and the paint) stay cool!
