Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from people who have never held a spray can to those with a bit of artistic flair. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. We focus on having fun and being creative in a relaxed, supportive environment where anyone can become a street artist for the day.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes a wide range of high-quality spray paint colours, protective gear like masks and gloves, and the surfaces we'll be painting on. If we are working on a collaborative wall, that's provided too. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on and bring your energy and creativity!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide high-quality protective masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, as well as gloves to keep your hands clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces. Additionally, our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before we start, ensuring everyone handles the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

What should I wear to the session?

While we provide gloves and masks, it's always best to wear 'work clothes' or something you won't mind getting a few accidental paint splatters on. Spray paint is permanent, so leave your designer gear at home! Comfortable sneakers are also a must as you'll be on your feet moving around your canvas. Think practical, comfortable, and ready to get a little messy for the sake of art.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard Cape Town workshops usually run between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and then plenty of time to work on your actual piece. If you have a specific time constraint or want a longer, more intensive deep-dive into street art culture, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your group's schedule.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Cape Town weather can be a bit unpredictable, but we've got you covered! If the weather looks like it won't play along for an outdoor session, we usually have backup indoor locations or can arrange for gazebos. If things get really wild, we can reschedule. Plus, we always have backup artists ready to go, so your event will never be cancelled due to staff issues.
