How it works

Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a quick intro to street art culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use the equipment properly. ✨
Mastering the nozzle: Our pros show you the 'can-control' basics—learning how to make thin lines, thick fades, and clean dots.
Sketching the vision: Participants grab markers and paper to plan their tags or pieces, choosing their unique street names and colour schemes. 🎨
First strokes: Time to head to the wall! Under expert guidance, the youth start applying their background colours and basic shapes.
Filling & fading: This is where the magic happens—learning how to blend colours and create those iconic graffiti gradients. 🔥
The outline & highlights: We teach the secret to making art "pop" by adding sharp outlines and white highlights for a 3D effect.
The final piece: The group works together to add final details, "clean up" the edges, and admire their collective masterpiece.
Photos & cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo session in front of the art—perfect for social media—and make sure the site is left tidy. 📸

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are trained to supervise youth groups, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only use professional-grade paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated spaces to keep everyone safe while they explore their creativity.

What should participants wear to the session?

While our workshops are designed to be as clean as possible, we always recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. We provide protective overalls and gloves, but spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes when the creativity starts flowing! It's all part of the authentic street art experience in Kumasi.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our youth projects are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to budding young artists. Our expert instructors start with the absolute basics, teaching everyone how to control the nozzle and create simple shapes before moving on to more complex designs. Everyone leaves with something they are proud of.

How long does a typical youth project workshop last?

A standard youth project workshop in Kumasi typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a crash course in techniques, sketching out ideas, and finally hitting the wall or canvas with colour. We can also adapt the timing to fit into a wider school schedule or community youth event if needed.

Do we need to pay in advance for the workshop?

We believe in keeping things flexible and stress-free. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Kumasi youth project. You simply pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with the results. We want you to feel 100% confident in the experience we provide before any money changes hands. That’s the Graffitifun guarantee!

Where in Kumasi do the workshops take place?

Our youth projects are highly mobile! We can come to your school, community centre, or a local youth club in Kumasi. If you don't have a suitable space, we can help find a local 'legal wall' or outdoor area where we can set up our mobile canvases. As long as there is enough space for the group to move safely, we can make it work.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps for different line thicknesses, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and the surfaces to paint on (usually large wooden panels or canvases). You just need to bring your energy and a desire to create something amazing with your friends!
