Graffiti Workshops

Graffiti Workshops Bristol, Bath, Reading, Surrey, London, and other parts of the UK

We aim to make every workshop a fun, creative and inclusive experience for everyone involved. 

Graffiti Workshops for Businesses, Schools,

Youth Centre's etc

We are happy to come to your School, business premises or venue that you have hired to hold a Graffiti or team building workshop.


You need to have an outdoor area where we can set up enough easel boards and some pop-up gazebos.


We are based in Bristol but are more than happy to travel anywhere in the UK, and often find ourselves in Reading, Surrey, and London, as well as Bristol and Bath. Please note that travel time and expenses will be taken into account when working out your quotation.


What Is Included In A Graffiti Workshop?


Everyone participating in a graffiti workshop gets to take at least one professionally finished graffiti name board home, depending on the graffiti workshop package you book, another freehand board or three to four for team building workshops typically.

The materials including:


Materials:  

Water-based spray paint, nozzles, high-grade quality sheets of cardboard and easels.

The booking process and frequently asked questions

  • How do we book a workshop?

    If you can send an email or message with your details, including your phone number please, and include where the workshop will take place, i.e. School grounds, Youth Club, etc.


    It is normally worth having a conversation over the phone in the first instance, then I will follow up with a detailed quotation and some more information about graffiti birthday workshops.


    The next stage if you are happy to go ahead is to pay 50% of the graffiti workshop cost to fully confirm your booking, the final amount is due after the workshop has taken place, and an invoice has been sent ideally within 10 working days.



  • The day of the workshop

    I will arrive at least  two hours to two and a half hours prior to the workshop starting to allow enough time to set up. Some corporate workshops require additional time to set up, and we arrive the day before to set up when needed.


    Gazebos will be set up, and one of the bases of the gazebos will have a wrap-around vinyl film, which will be used to paint either the word graffiti, school name, or something else relevant to the workshop group or groups.

     

  • Safety and protective clothing

    All the workshop participants will be provided with:


    Clean overall suit

    Clean Goggles

    Latex-free gloves

    FPP3 disposable face mask

    Shoe protectors


    Despite all of the above PPE, it is still advised that young people don't wear their very best clothes, appreciated that during the school day, this isn't an option..

  • What if it rains on the day of the workshop?

    There will be up to 5 x 3 metres by 3 metres gazebos. Please note that these gazebos are not designed to withstand extreme weather conditions such as storms, gales, etc.


    In the instance of exceptionally heavy rain or extreme weather warnings, Graffarty and the customer will look at another date and time when the weather is more favourable.  Having carried out hundreds of workshops and graffiti parties over the last 12 years, this has never happened only once. They close every School in South Wales and some in the South West on this one occasion.

  • Do graffiti workshops take place during the Autumn and Winter?

    Yes, graffiti workshops take place all year round. Portable lights are used during the shorter days of the winter months, generally, if workshops are taking place at Schools, they are during school hours anyway. The water-based spray paint used works in conditions up to -10 degrees.

  • What happens at a typical graffiti workshop?

    The workshop starts with the participants having had their names sketched in advance on large sheets of cardboard. People then colour their names and background using water-based spray paint.


    After they have finished their name boards, I then finish each of the boards with a 3D outline and white highlights, normally after the workshop is finished.


    Participants after their name boards, then move on to paint other sheets of high-grade cardboard with freehand designs and using a variety of stencils that I provide. 

  • Do participants get to keep their artwork

    Yes, everyone taking part in a workshop gets to keep all the artwork they produce during the workshop. The name board is professionally finished by myself with a 3D outline and highlights.


    Their artwork is painted onto decent-quality sheets of cardboard. The size of the cardboard sheets is 84 cm wide by 61 cm high. 

  • What age do children need to be to take part?

    Ideally from 8 years upwards. Younger children can be involved , but over the years we have noted that 8 upwards tends to be the best value as the children are more likely to be able to get changed independently into the necessary PPE and paint for the full workshop duration.

  • We are located outside of Bristol, do you travel to other parts of the UK?

    Yes, I am more than happy to travel anywhere in the UK. At the quoting stage, the additional cost of the standard workshop costs will be added to the travel and time to get to your Business, Event Venue, School, or Youth Centre.
