Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

No artistic talent is required at all! Our onboarding workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional San Francisco artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can to creating clean lines and 'fat caps.' You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and stylish. It is all about the process and having a blast!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

We take safety seriously. We provide all participants with high-quality gloves, protective suits, and masks to ensure a clean and safe experience. Our spray paints are selected for quality, and our instructors provide a full safety briefing before we start. Whether we are in a studio or outdoors, we ensure the environment is well-ventilated and comfortable for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the workshop?

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide protective gear. While our overalls cover most of your outfit, paint has a way of finding its way to shoes or lower legs! Other than that, just bring your energy and perhaps some inspiration or a sketch you've been thinking about. We provide everything else.

How long does the experience last?

A standard onboarding workshop in San Francisco typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction to the history of the craft, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We can also customize the duration to fit your specific schedule if needed.

Can you host the workshop at our location?

Absolutely! While we love hosting groups at our partner locations in the city, we are also fully mobile. We can bring the workshop to your company office, a specific event venue, or a courtyard space. We handle all the floor and wall protection to ensure the site stays clean while the creativity flows. Contact us for custom location setups!

What happens if the weather is bad?

San Francisco weather can be a bit of a wildcard! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the fog or rain rolls in, we have backup indoor locations or can provide high-quality tents. We also have a roster of backup artists to ensure that your session never gets canceled due to staffing issues. Your creative experience is our priority.

Do I get to keep the art I create?

Yes, you do! Depending on the workshop format, you will either take home a customized canvas or a piece of the collaborative work created during the session. It’s a fantastic souvenir of your time in the SF street art scene and a great conversation starter for your home or office. We make sure everyone leaves with something they are proud of.

Local culture

San Francisco is a living, breathing canvas. From the world-famous murals of Clarion Alley to the hidden tags tucked away in the Haight, the city has always been a sanctuary for self-expression. Our workshops tap into this rich heritage, often drawing inspiration from the "Wildstyle" or "Bubble" aesthetics that evolved in the Bay. When you join us, you’re not just taking a class; you’re participating in a legacy of rebellion and beauty that makes SF so iconic. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know San Francisco's Mission District contains one of the highest concentrations of street art in the world? Many of the artists we work with have been contributing to this open-air gallery for years! 🌉
