How long does a typical after-school graffiti workshop last?

Our after-school sessions typically run between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect window of time for students to learn the basic spray painting techniques, practice their 'tagging' style, and complete a final masterpiece on a canvas or board. We find this duration keeps energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting tired. We can also adapt timing to fit into your specific school schedule or club hours.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint indoors?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks to protect against fumes, disposable gloves to keep hands clean, and protective ponchos to save those school uniforms. Our professional artists are fully trained in health and safety protocols and provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session. We ensure a controlled environment where creativity can flourish without any risks to the students' well-being.

What is the recommended age for participating students?

The minimum age for our workshops is generally 6 years old. At this age, children have the hand strength and coordination required to press the spray nozzles effectively. For younger primary school groups, we focus more on bold shapes and colour blending, while for secondary school students, we dive into complex lettering, 3D effects, and stencil work. We always tailor the level of difficulty to the specific age group we are teaching.

Do the children need any prior artistic experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether a student thinks they can't draw a stick figure or they are already filling sketchbooks with doodles, we guarantee they will leave the session with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We make it as easy as possible for the organisers. We provide all the professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, safety gear (masks, gloves, ponchos), and the surfaces to paint on, such as large canvases or collective wooden walls. The only things we need from the school are an outdoor space (or a very well-ventilated indoor space) and a group of excited students ready to get their hands dirty!

What happens if an instructor is unable to make it?

Graffitifun works with a network of backup artists to ensure your event always goes ahead. In the rare case of staff illness, we have a 'safety net' system where a qualified replacement can step in at short notice. This means you don't have to worry about disappointing the kids or cancelling the after-school club. We pride ourselves on being the most reliable graffiti workshop provider in the UK!

We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed.

Upplevelsen

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next after-school project? It’s more than just spray painting; it's a way to engage students who might struggle with traditional academic subjects. Here’s why it’s a total game-changer:

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they created themselves gives kids an incredible sense of achievement. 💪
Hands-on Learning: It’s physical, interactive, and gets them away from screens and desks for a while.
Safety First: We are pros. We use top-tier safety gear and professional-grade, low-pressure cans for easy control. 🎤
Ultimate Reliability: With our backup artist system, we never cancel. Your after-school club is in safe hands.
Zero Stress: We bring all the gear and handle the setup/clean-up. You just provide the space! 🎉
No Risk: With our "pay afterwards" policy, you can book with total peace of mind.

Steg för steg

Intro & safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about street art history and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear correctly. ✨
Sketching your vision: Students grab paper and markers to plan their designs, learning about 'pieces', 'tags', and layout.
Mastering the nozzle: It's time for the 'can control' session where we practice making thin lines, fat dots, and smooth fades. 🔥
Outline & fill: The students move to their canvases to lay down the skeleton of their design and fill it with vibrant, popping colours.
The 3D effect: We teach the kids how to add shadows and 3D depth to make their letters literally jump off the surface.
The clean-up (Outlining): Using a contrasting colour, students trace their shapes to make the edges crisp and professional.
Highlights & flares: The final touches! We add white 'shines' and cool background effects like stars or drips to finish the look.
The big reveal: Everyone steps back to admire the collective work, take photos for the school newsletter, and pack up their fresh art. 🏆

Bra att veta

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2 hours per session (flexible for school timetables).
Group Sizes: We cater for small groups of 10 up to full classes of 30+.
What's Included: Spray cans, canvases, masks, gloves, ponchos, and expert instruction.
Location: We come to your school! We can work outdoors or in well-ventilated indoor halls.
Safety: Full risk assessments provided; all instructors carry FFP3 respiratory protection. 🛡️
Outcome: Every student takes home their own canvas artwork at the end of the day.

Lokal kultur

Manchester is a city that wears its art on its sleeve. From the massive murals in Ancoats to the ever-changing walls of the Northern Quarter, street art is baked into the city's DNA. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students that the art they see on their way to school is a legitimate, skilled craft. We often draw inspiration from local legends like Akse P19, helping Manchester’s youth feel connected to the urban landscape around them.

Fun Fact: Did you know Manchester is home to the famous 'Out House' project? It's a spot in Stevenson Square where the art changes every few months, keeping the local street scene fresh and alive! 🐝

Prissättning

We believe every Manchester school should have access to high-quality art experiences, which is why we keep our pricing flexible based on your needs.

Typical price: £25 - £55 per person

Prices vary depending on the number of students, the location, and whether you want individual canvases or a large-scale mural project. We offer great discounts for recurring after-school club bookings!

Pay after the workshop: We don't ask for a penny upfront. Secure your date and pay only once the kids have finished their masterpieces.
