How long does the graffiti workshop last?

Our school holiday workshops in Santa Marta typically run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives everyone enough time to learn the basic spray painting techniques, practice their 'tagging' style, and work on a collaborative large-scale mural or individual canvases. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high and creativity flowing without it feeling rushed or overly long. Plus, it leaves plenty of time for a post-workshop beach dip!

Do we need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to creating complex shading effects. Whether you think you’re the next Picasso or can’t draw a stick figure, we promise you’ll walk away with something you’re proud of. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed, sun-soaked environment.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, face masks, and aprons to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s a dedicated wall space or individual boards. All you need to bring is some old shoes you don't mind getting messy, some suncream, and your creative energy!

Is the workshop safe for children?

Safety is our top priority, especially when working with younger participants. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and ensure all sessions take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before any cans are shaken. We use low-pressure spray paint which is much easier and safer to control for beginners, ensuring a worry-free creative experience for parents and kids alike.

What should we wear to the session?

While we provide aprons and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit unpredictable! We strongly recommend wearing 'work clothes' or older outfits that you wouldn't mind getting a stray splash of paint on. Avoid your favourite designer gear or brand-new trainers. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are a must. Since Santa Marta is quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend while you work on your masterpiece under the Caribbean sun.

What happens if it rains on the day?

While we love the sunshine, we always have a plan B. If it rains, we usually move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a ventilated indoor space so the creative fun doesn't have to stop. If the weather is truly extreme, we can look at rescheduling your session. Our backup artists also ensure that even if an instructor is unwell, your holiday highlight won't be cancelled!

Where exactly in Santa Marta do the workshops take place?

Santa Marta is a hub of creativity, and we work with several fantastic locations. We often host workshops near the vibrant areas of Taganga or close to the historic centre where the street art scene is booming. Once you book, we’ll provide the exact location details. We choose spots that are easily accessible and offer the perfect vibe for a day of spray painting and holiday fun.
