Do I need any prior drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our workshops are specifically designed for beginners and tourists who have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We believe everyone has a hidden artist inside, and we are here to help you find yours while having a blast in Mechelen!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We provide high-quality protective gear, including over-suits and gloves. However, we always recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case! Graffiti is a hands-on activity, and while we take every precaution, it is best to be prepared for a creative mess. You will look like a pro in our gear anyway!

Is this workshop suitable for children and families?

Yes, our workshops are incredibly family-friendly! We adapt our teaching style for younger participants (typically ages 6 and up) to ensure they stay safe and engaged. It is a fantastic way for families visiting Mechelen to bond over a shared creative project. We use high-quality materials that are safe to handle under our expert supervision. Kids usually end up being the best sprayers!

What safety measures do you have in place?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors are seasoned professionals who brief every group on the 'Golden Rules' of spray painting before we begin. You are in safe hands while you explore your rebellious artistic side!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

The standard workshop experience lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, practice on the 'training wall,' and then completing your final masterpiece. We never rush the creative process, ensuring you have plenty of time to refine your tag and take those all-important photos of your work. We can adjust the duration for tight travel schedules too!

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We do not require upfront payments to secure your booking; you simply pay after the workshop is completed. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. This allows you to plan your Mechelen trip with total peace of mind, knowing that your creative adventure is locked in without any immediate financial pressure.

Where exactly in Mechelen does the workshop take place?

We can host workshops at various cool locations around Mechelen, including outdoor spots and sheltered areas in case of typical Belgian rain! Once you book, we will coordinate the best spot based on your group size and the weather forecast. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your workshop will never be cancelled due to staff illness. We have got you covered!

Local culture

Mechelen might look medieval with its cobblestones and canals, but it is secretly a street art powerhouse! The city is home to the famous "Mechelen Muurt" project, where local legends have transformed blank walls into massive public galleries. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the Belgian underground scene while staying perfectly safe and legal.

Fun Fact: Did you know Mechelen is often called the "Moonblussers" (Moon Extinguishers) city? Legend says locals once tried to put out a fire in the cathedral tower, only to realise it was just the moonlight shining through the clouds. We promise your graffiti will be much brighter than that! 🌙🔥

After your workshop, you can take a short train ride to Antwerp or Brussels to see even more world-class murals!

Pricing

We believe great art experiences should be accessible to everyone visiting Mechelen. Our pricing is flexible based on how you want to play!

Estimated price range: €25 - €55 per person

The final price depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and whether you want to work on a shared wall or individual canvases to take home. The best part? No upfront payment is required – you only pay once the workshop is done and you're happy!
