Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop in Edinburgh?
Absolutely not! Our Edinburgh workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned scribblers. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of 3D perspective and spray can control. Youâll be surprised at how quickly you can create a piece that looks like itâs popping right off the wall or floor. Itâs all about having fun and trying something new.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and ensure our outdoor locations have plenty of ventilation. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free creative environment for all ages and skill levels.
What happens if it rains during our session?
Edinburgh weather can be unpredictable, but weâve got you covered! We have several sheltered outdoor spots and indoor partner venues across the city. If the 'Scots mist' turns into a heavy downpour, we can usually move the session to a covered area or reschedule. We always monitor the forecast closely and stay in touch so your creative flow isn't dampened.
How long does a typical workshop take?
A standard 3D street art workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of 3D techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice. If you are booking for a larger corporate event or festival, we can scale the timing to fit your specific schedule and requirements.
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces weâll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty while you work!
Can you bring the workshop to our own location?
Yes, we do! While we have our favourite 'street' spots in Edinburgh, we are fully mobile. If you have a private venue, office car park, or a school playground with permission to paint, we can bring the entire 3D workshop experience to you. We just need a flat surface and a bit of space to let the creativity flourish.
Is there an age limit for the graffiti experience?
Our workshops are generally suitable for anyone aged 8 and up. For younger children, we focus more on simple techniques and using water-based markers or paints if spray cans are too heavy. Itâs a fantastic activity for families, school groups, and youth clubs looking to explore the vibrant world of Scottish street art together in a safe environment.
