Is the workshop safe, and what gear do you provide?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in any fumes, along with nitrile gloves and full-body protective overalls. Our workshops are typically held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a fun and worry-free environment for creators of all ages.
Where in Ghent do the workshops take place?
We are incredibly flexible with locations! We can host the 3D street art session at our dedicated street art spots in Ghent, or we can come to you. This could be your office courtyard, a school playground, or even a private driveway for a party. If the weather is looking dodgy, we can also discuss indoor options using special low-odour paints or canvases. Just let us know your preference!
How much does a 3D street art experience cost?
Prices in Ghent typically range from €25 to €55 per person. The final cost depends on a few factors like the size of your group, the duration of the session, and whether we are bringing extra custom materials for a specific theme. Because every event is unique, we recommend getting in touch for a custom quote so we can give you the best possible price for your specific needs.
What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?
We totally understand that plans can change. That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you only pay after the workshop has successfully taken place. Additionally, we have a large team of backup artists ready to step in, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will go ahead as planned. We strive for 100% satisfaction and zero stress for our Ghent clients.
