How long does a typical street art workshop last?

Most of our Mechelen street art festival workshops last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basic techniques, practice your lines, and complete a final masterpiece. If you are part of a larger festival rotation, we can adapt the sessions to be shorter 'walk-in' style slots so more people get a chance to spray. We always keep the energy high and the paint flowing!

Do I need to be artistic to join the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting skills are needed. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic can control and move on to cool effects like fades and drips. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you’ve created on the wall. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself, not being a perfect artist.

Is the workshop safe for children and adults?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to manage groups safely. We use professional-grade spray paint that is designed for ease of use while ensuring a vibrant, long-lasting result for your festival artwork.

What should I wear to a graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide overall suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or sneakers! If the festival is outdoors, check the weather forecast for Mechelen and dress in layers. We provide all the professional gear including cans, caps, masks, and gloves, so just bring your enthusiasm.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

We are very flexible! If there is a sudden downpour in Mechelen, we try to move the workshop to a covered area or use professional gazebos to keep the artists dry. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We always find a way to make the creative sparks fly, rain or shine, ensuring your festival schedule stays right on track.

Are all materials included in the workshop price?

Everything is included in the price! You get access to a wide range of professional spray cans in various colours, different nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and a dedicated workspace. Most importantly, you get the guidance of a pro graffiti artist who will stay with your group to teach, inspire, and help you refine your mural. No hidden costs here!

How much does it cost to book a workshop for a festival?

The price usually ranges between €25 and €55 per person, but it really depends on the size of your group and the specific festival setup. For example, a continuous walk-in booth at a large event might be priced differently than a private group session.

The experience

Why choose a street art experience in the heart of Mechelen? It’s not just about painting; it’s about the rush of doing something totally different in a city steeped in tradition. Here is why our workshops are the highlight of any Mechelen event:

Unleash Radical Creativity: Break away from the screen and get your hands (well, your gloves) dirty with real, tactile art. 🚀
Pro Guidance: We don't just hand you a can; our artists teach you real skills used by professional muralists across Europe.
No Stress, Just Fun: We handle the setup, the cleanup, and the safety, leaving you free to focus on the vibes. 🎉
Inclusive Atmosphere: Whether you're 8 or 80, graffiti is a universal language that everyone can speak.
Unique Souvenirs: At many of our festivals, you get to take your canvas home or contribute to a massive communal wall. 🏆
Reliable Service: With backup artists and years of experience in cities like Antwerp and Brussels, we never let a festival down.

Step by step

Arrival and Gear Up: Meet your pro artist at the festival site. We’ll get you suited up in protective gear and hand out the masks.
The Basics of the Can: Learn how to hold the spray can, how to swap caps for different line widths, and how to control pressure.
Sketching Your Idea: Before hitting the wall, we help you brainstorm a concept or a 'tag' that fits the festival vibe.
Practice Strokes: Use a practice board to get a feel for the distance and speed needed to prevent drips (unless you want drips!).
Outline and Fill: Start bringing your design to life on the main canvas or wall, beginning with the rough shapes and filling them with bold colours.
Adding Details: This is where the magic happens! Our artists show you how to add highlights, shadows, and sharp outlines to make the art 'pop'.
The Masterpiece Reveal: Step back and admire the collective work. It’s the perfect time for a group photo with your new Mechelen street art!

Good to know

Duration: Standard workshops last 1.5 to 3 hours, but we offer flexible timings for festival rotations.

What's Included: Professional spray cans, protective suits, FFP3 masks, gloves, and expert artist guidance.

Local culture

Mechelen is a city that bridges the gap between medieval history and modern creativity perfectly. While you might know it for the St. Rumbold's Cathedral, the city has a growing appreciation for urban expression. Events like the 'Mechelen Muurt' project have already started decorating the city's walls with incredible murals, making it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti workshop. There is a unique vibe here—more intimate than Antwerp but just as creative as Brussels. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Mechelen was once the capital of the Netherlands? Today, it’s becoming a hidden gem for street art lovers who want to escape the massive crowds of the bigger cities while still finding world-class murals! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Mechelen are designed to be accessible for everyone, whether you're a small group of friends or a major festival organiser. Pricing typically ranges from €25 to €55 per person. This variation depends on the number of participants, the amount of paint used, and the specific setup of your event. 💸

Because every festival experience is unique, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. We want to ensure you get the best value and the most fun!
