Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops in Melo are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned sketchers. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through the process step-by-step, starting with basic lines and moving on to filling and shadowing. The goal is to have fun and learn a new skill, so don't worry about being 'good'—just come ready to experiment and enjoy the creative process!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be working on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on—even though we provide protection!

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Melo usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover safety, technique, and planning before you dive into the spray painting. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to ensure everyone finishes their project without feeling rushed, while keeping the energy high throughout the entire session. We can also adapt the duration for specific events.

Is spray painting safe for beginners?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide professional-grade masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces. Our artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment where you can focus entirely on your art.

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

Yes! While we love hosting groups in the sunny streets of Melo, we have several indoor options and backup plans. If the weather doesn't play ball, we can move the session to a covered location or use water-based spray paints that are suitable for indoor use. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what. Your creative flow won't be stopped by a bit of rain!

Is there an age limit for the graffiti experience?

While our onboarding workshops are geared towards adults and corporate groups, we can certainly tailor the experience for younger participants in Melo. Generally, we recommend a minimum age of 8-10 years old to ensure they can handle the spray cans comfortably and follow the safety instructions. For younger groups, we focus more on playful techniques and simpler shapes to keep them engaged and safe.

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website based on your group size. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. Once we've agreed on a date and location in Melo, we handle all the logistics, so you can just look forward to the big day!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next outing in Melo? It’s not just about painting; it’s about breaking barriers and discovering a talent you never knew you had. Here’s why our sessions are a hit:

No boring lectures: We dive straight into the action—more spraying, less talking! 🚀
Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of paint.

The perfect line: Your artist will demonstrate how to control the spray can to create thin lines, thick borders, and dots.

Colour theory: Learn how to choose complementary colours and create smooth gradients (fades) for a professional look.

Cutting and outlines: Refine your work by 'cutting' back into the shapes and adding sharp, bold outlines.
Highlighting: Add those final 'shines' and 3D effects that make your graffiti literally pop off the wall.

Local culture

Melo, the charming capital of Cerro Largo, has a unique rhythm that blends traditional Uruguayan culture with a growing appreciation for modern expression. While traditional festivals like the Carnival of Melo dominate the social calendar, the city's walls are increasingly becoming a canvas for local identity. Our Melo graffiti workshops tap into this local spirit, offering a fresh way to celebrate the city’s creative evolution.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Melo is famous for its "International Carnival," which often features incredible hand-painted floats? This local dedication to visual art makes it the perfect place to explore the modern medium of aerosol art! 🏆

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art! Because every group in Melo is different, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing.

Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today for a tailored estimate!

Remember: No upfront payment is required. You only pay once the spray paint has dried and you’re thrilled with the result. ✨
