Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic talent or experience to join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners who have never held a spray can to experienced doodlers. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and building up to your final masterpiece. We focus on fun and expression rather than technical perfection, ensuring you walk away feeling proud of what you've created.🎨

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We provide high-quality spray paint, masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes tidy. However, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and 'work clothes' that you don't mind getting a little dusty just in case. Street art is a physical activity, so dress for movement! If it's a sunny Pretoria day, don't forget your sunscreen as we usually work in ventilated or outdoor spaces.☀️

Is the spray paint safe and is the workshop supervised?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. The workshops are held in well-ventilated areas to ensure you aren't breathing in concentrated fumes. Our instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, teaching you the correct way to handle the equipment to ensure a fun, hazard-free experience.🛡️

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard tourist workshops in Pretoria typically last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a lesson on can control and lettering, and plenty of time for you to complete your own piece on a canvas or a designated wall. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing itinerary without feeling rushed.⏱️

Can I book a private workshop for my family or travel group?

Absolutely! While we focus on tourists, our Pretoria workshops are excellent for birthdays, bachelor parties, or just a unique weekend activity with mates. We can host groups of various sizes, from small families to larger travel groups. The more, the merrier—collaboration is a huge part of graffiti culture, and sharing a wall with friends makes the experience even more memorable.🙌

What happens if it rains on the day of my Pretoria workshop?

Pretoria is famous for its Jacarandas, but if the weather turns grey, we’ve got you covered. We have access to various sheltered and indoor locations throughout the city. Because we have a team of backup artists and flexible venue options, we rarely have to cancel. We’ll make sure your creative session goes ahead rain or shine!🌧️

How do I pay, and do I need to pay a deposit?

At Graffitifun, we believe in a 'fun first' policy. You don't have to pay anything upfront when you make your booking. You only pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. This way, you can book your Pretoria adventure with complete peace of mind and zero risk.💳
