Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Edinburgh have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle, manage pressure, and create clean lines. By the time we move to the main mural, you'll feel confident and ready to create something awesome. It's all about having fun and letting your creativity flow in a relaxed, supportive environment.

What equipment is included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks. We also provide the canvases or wall space for your session. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic dust' on!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with gloves and protective suits. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, often outdoors or in large industrial spaces. Our instructors are experienced pros who will guide you on the correct and safe way to handle the equipment at all times.

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

Edinburgh's weather can be a bit 'dreich' sometimes, but we've got you covered! We have access to fantastic indoor spaces and sheltered outdoor spots across the city. If the Scottish weather decides to be particularly difficult, we can move the session to one of our indoor partner venues so you can stay dry while you spray. The creative fun carries on regardless of the clouds!

How long does the graffiti workshop session last?

A standard tourist workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction, a practice session where you learn various techniques, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are part of a larger group or looking for a more in-depth masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your schedule and creative goals.

Can I book a private workshop for a large group?

We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a session, a couple on a city break, or a large family group, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal guidance and hands-on time with the cans. Just let us know your group size when booking!

Step by step

Arrival and meet-up: Meet your local street artist at our designated Edinburgh creative spot and get introduced to the vibrant world of graffiti.
Safety briefing: We'll suit you up in protective gear and go over the essential safety rules for using professional spray cans.
The basics of 'the can': Learn how to hold the spray can, how different nozzles (caps) work, and how to control your spray distance for various effects.
Mastering techniques: Practice making dots, lines, and fades. Our artists will show you how to 'cut' lines to make your work look sharp and professional.
Sketching your design: Work with your instructor to sketch out a concept, whether it's your name, a local Edinburgh symbol, or a unique abstract piece.
Fill-ins and backgrounds: Start bringing your piece to life by layering colours, creating gradients, and filling in your main shapes.
Outlining and detailing: Use high-pressure cans to add those crisp outlines and highlights that make graffiti art pop off the wall.
The finishing touches: Add 'second outlines' or 'force fields' to your piece to give it that final professional graffiti aesthetic.
Photos and 'tags': Snap some photos with your masterpiece and sign your work with your very own unique tag before heading back into the city!

Local culture

Edinburgh might be famous for its medieval 'Old Town' and neoclassical 'New Town', but beneath the surface lies a thriving modern street art culture. From the colourful murals of Leith to the hidden gems in the Cowgate, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a chance to experience the 'edgy' side of the Scottish capital that most tourists miss. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Edinburgh's Leith district was once a completely separate burgh and now hosts some of the most impressive large-scale murals in the UK? It's a hotspot for local artists to experiment and showcase their style!

Our Edinburgh graffiti experiences are priced to be accessible for everyone, ranging from £25 to £55 per person depending on your group size and the specific setup of the day. 🎟️

Whether you want a private family session or a large group workshop, we offer the best value for a premium creative experience in the city. Remember, all your materials and safety gear are included in the price!
