Do I need any previous drawing or painting experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Leipzig street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can and control the pressure. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a few simple tips and tricks. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process!

Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated festival zones. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for all ages.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, spray paint is permanent and has a way of finding gaps. If it's a sunny day in Leipzig, don't forget your sunscreen and a hat, as we'll be working outdoors to soak up that authentic festival atmosphere.

How long does a typical street art festival session last?

Most of our festival-style workshops last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for staying energised and creative without getting tired. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can always adapt the timing to fit.

Is there an age limit for the graffiti workshops?

Our workshops are incredibly popular for kids' parties, school groups, and family festivals. Generally, we recommend a minimum age of 6 or 7 to ensure they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans. For younger children, we often use water-based paints or larger nozzles to make it easier. It's a fantastic way for kids to express themselves in a giant, colourful way!

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

Leipzig weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the workshop under gazebos or to a sheltered outdoor area. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup plans and indoor-friendly options to ensure the festival vibes continue. We always monitor the weather closely leading up to your event date.

Can we take our artwork home after the workshop?

We offer total flexibility. You can choose to work on individual canvases that you can take home as a souvenir, or we can set up large-scale collective walls where everyone contributes to one massive masterpiece. For festivals, the collective wall is a huge hit as it creates a stunning visual centerpiece that grows throughout the day. The choice is yours!

Local culture

Leipzig isn't just a city; it's a sprawling canvas. From the legendary murals in Plagwitz to the alternative vibes of Connewitz, street art is woven into the very fabric of the city's identity. Leipzig’s history of creative rebellion makes it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti festival. You’ll see everything from massive "murals" on old industrial buildings to tiny, intricate "paste-ups" hidden in alleyways. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, celebrating the freedom of expression that defines the Lindauer and Karl-Heine-Straße scenes. 🎨

Fun Fact: Leipzig is home to one of Germany's oldest legal graffiti walls, where artists have been legally allowed to hone their craft for decades, contributing to the city's world-class street art reputation! 🏆

Pricing

Our Leipzig street art festival workshops are designed to be accessible and fun for every budget. Pricing typically ranges from €30 to €65 per person, depending on the length of the session, the number of participants, and the materials used (e.g., individual canvases vs. a shared wall).

We believe in transparent, fair pricing with no upfront payment required – you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy! ✨
