Do I need to have any prior drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely not! Our Dresden graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners and curious travellers. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex layering techniques. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they always leave amazed by what they’ve managed to create on the wall. We focus on fun and creativity over technical perfection.

What equipment is provided in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a fantastic creative session. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge variety of vibrant colours, professional-grade masks, protective gloves, and overall suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your masterpiece. Just bring your enthusiasm, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your camera to capture the process!

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Dresden is a beautiful city, but the weather can be unpredictable. If we are scheduled for an outdoor wall and it looks like rain, we have several options. We can often move to a sheltered outdoor location or use indoor workshop spaces where we work on large canvases instead. Because we have a large team and flexible setups, we almost never have to cancel a session due to the German weather.

Is the graffiti workshop safe and legal in Dresden?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 grade masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our artists are trained professionals who supervise the entire process, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also ensure our workshop sites are safe, legal, and accessible for all our tourist groups.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Dresden generally last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti culture, a safety briefing, some practice runs to get a feel for the spray cans, and then the main event: creating your own large-scale artwork. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for staying energized and focused without getting too tired.

Can I book a workshop for a small or very large group?

We are very flexible with group sizes! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a scheduled group, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a large family reunion exploring Saxony, we can accommodate you. For very large tourist groups, we simply bring in more professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal attention and hands-on spray time. Everyone gets to participate fully!

Do I need to pay in advance to book my spot?

One of our biggest perks is our flexible booking policy. We understand that travel plans can change when you're exploring Europe. That’s why we don't require any upfront payment for your Dresden workshop. You can book your spot to secure the date and then pay the full amount after the workshop is finished. This way, you only pay once you've seen how much fun it is!

Local culture

Dresden is a city of incredible contrasts. On one side of the Elbe, you have the historic Altstadt, but cross the bridge to the Neustadt and you'll find the beating heart of Dresden’s alternative culture. The streets here are a living gallery, filled with hidden murals, political stencils, and colourful tags. It’s the perfect backdrop for a creative getaway!

Fun fact: Dresden’s Neustadt district is home to the famous "Kunsthofpassage," a series of courtyards where art and architecture blend perfectly, including a building that "plays music" when it rains! 🎶

Our workshops often take place near these creative hubs, giving you an authentic taste of local life that most tourists totally miss. We don't just teach you to paint; we connect you with the soul of the city. ✨
