Where exactly in Edinburgh do the pop-up events take place?

Most of our Edinburgh pop-up workshops take place in vibrant outdoor spots or airy indoor studios, depending on the weather. Once you book, we'll provide the exact meeting point. We frequently set up near creative hubs like Leith or the Haymarket area to ensure you're right in the heart of the city's artistic energy. Everything is pre-arranged so you just have to show up and spray!

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from people who have never held a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will walk you through every step, starting with basic can control and safety. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and letting your imagination run wild in a supportive environment.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes as clean as possible. However, graffiti is a messy business! It's always a good idea to wear 'work clothes' or items you wouldn't mind getting a stray speck of paint on. Avoid your brand-new trainers or high-end jackets just to be safe. We want you focusing on your art, not your laundry!

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

The Scottish weather is famous for its 'four seasons in one day' vibe! If we are scheduled for an outdoor spot and it starts to pour, we usually have a backup indoor location or we can provide additional overhead cover. Our team monitors the forecast closely, and we always prioritise your comfort and the quality of the paint application. We won't let a bit of drizzle dampen the creative fire!

Can I book a private pop-up session for my friends?

Yes, we love hosting private groups! Whether it's a birthday, a stag or hen do, or just a group of friends wanting a unique Saturday afternoon, we can tailor the pop-up specifically for you. Private bookings allow for more flexibility with timing and location. Just drop us a message with your group size and preferred date, and we will build a custom Edinburgh street art experience just for you.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are highly experienced in managing groups and ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also ensure our pop-up sites are well-ventilated and spacious enough for everyone to work comfortably without getting in each other's way. Fun is guaranteed, but safety is non-negotiable!

Local culture

Why Edinburgh is the perfect canvas

Edinburgh isn't just about historic castles and literary legends; it's a city with a thriving, albeit hidden, street art scene. While spots like New Street and the tunnels near the Waverley Station have seen their fair share of colour, the city's creative heart beats loudest in areas like Leith, where the mural scene is booming. Our pop-up events tap into this local energy, giving you a chance to feel like a part of the city's modern evolution. We celebrate the contrast between the dark, atmospheric wynds and the neon-bright spray paint of our workshop.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Edinburgh is home to one of the UK’s longest-running legal graffiti walls? It’s a place where artists can sharpen their skills without looking over their shoulders, keeping the local culture vibrant and legal! 🔥
