Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a workshop in Guangzhou?

Not at all! Our Guangzhou workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, lines, and shading. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques. We provide all the inspiration and guidance you need to create something you're proud of, regardless of your previous art experience.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure a clean and safe environment. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced in safety protocols, making this a fun and worry-free activity for tourists of all ages, including children and families visiting Guangzhou.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide protective gear, a stray drop of spray paint can sometimes find its way onto your shoes or trousers. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Guangzhou can be quite humid, lightweight, breathable fabrics are your best bet for staying cool while you create.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect duration to fit into a busy sightseeing itinerary without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to explore other Guangzhou landmarks afterwards.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! While most of our workshops take place on practice walls or large boards, we can often arrange for your final piece to be created on a portable canvas or cardboard sheet that you can take back to your hotel. Please let us know in advance if you'd like a take-home option so we can prepare the right materials for your Guangzhou street art adventure.

Is this activity suitable for families with children?

Absolutely! We love hosting families. Our workshops are a fantastic way for kids and parents to bond over a shared creative project. We use age-appropriate tools and our instructors are great at engaging younger artists. It's a memorable, hands-on break from the usual temple tours and shopping malls, making it one of the most unique family activities in the city.

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Bookings are easy and flexible. Just fill out our contact form or request a quote online. One of the best parts about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments—you can pay after the workshop! We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your session never gets cancelled, giving you peace of mind during your travels in China.
