Do I need to have any prior drawing or art experience?

Absolutely! Our Glasgow street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to cool techniques like fading and outlining. We promise you'll leave feeling like a proper graffiti pro!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We take care of everything so you can focus on the fun. We provide high-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, and protective gear including gloves and overalls. Depending on the festival setup, we provide either large wooden panels or individual canvases for you to work on. Just make sure to wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

Is the paint safe and how do you handle safety?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure everyone breathes easy while painting. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open festival marquees. Our instructors also give a full safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, ensuring a secure environment for all ages.

What is the maximum group size for a festival workshop?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends or a massive city-wide festival, we can scale our team to match. For large public events, we often run 'drop-in' sessions where hundreds of people can contribute to a giant mural throughout the day. For private bookings or smaller festival slots, we typically recommend groups of 10 to 30 people per artist.

What happens if it rains during the event?

In Glasgow, we are always prepared for a bit of 'liquid sunshine'! If your festival workshop is outdoors, we usually arrange for pop-up gazebos or marquee cover so the creativity doesn't have to stop. If the weather becomes a genuine safety hazard, our 'No Cancellation' guarantee kicks in—we have backup dates and flexible rescheduling options to ensure your event still gets its splash of colour.

How long does a typical street art session last?

For festival environments, a standard workshop session usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. However, for public 'street art festival' activations, we can run continuous demonstrations and interactive painting sessions that last the entire day. We can tailor the timing to fit your specific festival schedule, whether you want a quick 45-minute 'taster' or an intensive half-day masterclass.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is simple and risk-free with Graffitifun. You can start by using our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate. Once you're ready, reach out via our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. We also have a pool of backup artists available, so you never have to worry about last-minute staff cancellations.

Lokal kultur

Glasgow is a city that wears its heart on its walls. From the world-famous "City Centre Mural Trail" featuring Smug’s breathtaking hyper-realism to the hidden gems in the hidden lanes of the Merchant City, Glasgow is a breathing gallery. Our workshops tap into this unique 'Glesga' spirit—gritty, proud, and incredibly creative. We draw inspiration from the city's industrial roots and its modern status as a cultural powerhouse. 🚀

Fun fact: Did you know that Glasgow’s mural trail was originally started to rejuvenate tired gable ends and vacant buildings? Today, pieces like the 'St. Mungo' mural on High Street are some of the most photographed spots in the UK!

When you join a Graffitifun workshop here, you aren't just spraying paint; you're joining a community that values bold expression and authentic storytelling. Whether we're painting near the Clyde or in a leafy Southside park, the energy of Glasgow's street art scene is unmatchable.
