Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Shanghai workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and simple shapes. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks totally professional. It is all about having fun, getting messy, and expressing yourself in a supportive, creative environment!

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, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your session. Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors or outdoors?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy while they work. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, teaching you the correct way to handle the equipment and respect the environment. You are in very safe hands with Graffitifun!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public art workshop in Shanghai typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of graffiti, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual piece. If you have a specific timeframe in mind for a corporate event or private party, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! For public art experiences, we can accommodate small groups of friends (4-5 people) up to massive corporate groups or festival crowds of over 100 people. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists from our backup pool to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. No matter the size of your squad, we can make it work!

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

Weather in Shanghai can be a bit unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If we are planned for an outdoor session and it pours, we usually have indoor backup locations or high-quality professional pop-up gazebos ready to go. Because we have a team of backup artists and flexible locations, we almost never have to cancel. We ensure the creative vibes keep flowing, rain or shine!

How does the 'pay later' policy work?

At Graffitifun, we believe in 'fun first.' That’s why we offer a 100% satisfaction focus. Additionally, we don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. This takes the stress out of booking and ensures that we are totally committed to providing the best possible street art experience for you and your group.
