How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro to street art history and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear properly.
- Sketching the Concept: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their designs, focusing on letter structure and 'tags'.
- Can Control 101: Under the eye of a pro artist, students learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths.
- Practicing Lines: Before hitting the main project, everyone gets a chance to spray practice lines and shapes to build muscle memory.
- Filling & Fading: We teach the 'fill-in' technique and how to create cool colour gradients and 'fades' that make graffiti pop.
- The Big Piece: The group works together on a large-scale mural, combining their individual styles into one cohesive school masterpiece.
- Outlining & Details: Our pros help the students add sharp outlines and 'highlights' to give the artwork that professional, polished look.
- Final Reveal: The masks come off, the paint dries, and the students celebrate their finished work with a group photo session!

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school workshop in Wewak last?
Our local workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives students enough time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice their 'handstyle' on paper or practice boards, and then collaborate on a final large-scale masterpiece. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school’s double-period slots or make it a full-day intensive creative immersion if you're planning a special arts week in Wewak.
Is the spray paint safe for students to use?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone’s uniforms clean. We only use low-pressure spray cans which are easier for students to control, and our professional artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We always recommend holding the workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas like the school courtyard or sports field.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from the naturally gifted artists to those who claim they can't draw a straight line. Graffiti is about expression and flow, not just technical perfection. Our instructors guide the students through every step, ensuring that by the end of the session, every single student has contributed something they are genuinely proud of. It’s a huge confidence booster for less 'traditionally' artistic kids.
What are the payment terms for schools?
We believe in a stress-free booking process for schools. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We work on a 'pay after the workshop' basis, which gives you the peace of mind that we will deliver a high-quality, fun experience. Once the session is complete and the students are buzzing with excitement, we’ll handle the invoice. It’s all about building trust within the Wewak community.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides the spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which can be large wooden panels, plastic wrap between trees, or even a permanent wall if the school permits). All we need from you is an outdoor space and a group of enthusiastic students ready to learn a new skill. We take care of the setup and the cleanup!
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! If there's a tropical downpour in Wewak, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a very well-ventilated hall using water-based, low-odour paints. Because we have local backup artists ready to go, we are very flexible with scheduling. If the weather looks truly impossible, we’ll work with you to find a backup date that suits your school calendar.
