Do I need any prior drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely not! Our onboarding workshop in Bologna is designed specifically for beginners and curious souls. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a little bit of expert coaching.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also supply the canvases or wall space. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

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

Bologna’s weather is usually lovely, but we always have a plan B. We work with several covered or indoor locations across the city to ensure your workshop goes ahead rain or shine. Because we have a large network of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel a session due to scheduling or weather issues.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard onboarding workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We can also tailor the duration to fit your specific schedule if you're exploring other parts of Bologna.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 masks and gloves for all participants. Our instructors are professional artists who ensure that everyone follows safety protocols, especially when it comes to ventilation and distance. It is a perfectly safe environment for adults and children alike.

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible payment policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.

Can you accommodate large groups for team building?

We love hosting groups! Whether you are a small group of friends or a large corporate team, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we simply bring in more artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention. If you're planning a massive event, just let us know in advance so we can arrange the perfect venue in Bologna.
