How long does the graffiti workshop usually last?

Most of our Halifax graffiti workshops run between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basic strokes, practice your technique on our training walls, and complete your final masterpiece. If you are part of a larger tourist group or want a more in-depth session involving complex murals, we can extend the duration to 3 hours. We always ensure you never feel rushed!

Do I need to have any artistic experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our Halifax guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and circles before moving on to 'fills' and 'outlines'. You will be amazed at how quickly you pick up the skills and how professional your finished piece looks by the end of the session.

What should I wear and what is included in the price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle 'caps' for different effects, protective gloves, and masks. We also provide protective suits to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for travelers?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are professional artists who stay with the group at all times, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

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

One of the best parts about our Halifax workshops is that there is no upfront payment required! You can book your spot and secure your date without reaching for your wallet. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you’re satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods on-site, making it easy and stress-free for international travellers.

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

Halifax weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If the weather doesn't cooperate for an outdoor session, we have access to covered or indoor locations where we can spray safely. Because we have multiple backup artists and flexible venue options, we almost never have to cancel. We’ll make sure your creative plans stay on track regardless of the Atlantic mist!
