I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours with a bit of guidance and a lot of enthusiasm!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective suits and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto unintended surfaces. Think of it as a souvenir of your creativity, but better to wear your old trainers just in case! Don't worry, we've got the masks and gloves covered for your safety.

How long does the experience last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Medellin typically run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demo of the equipment, practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are in a rush or want a deeper dive, we can often adjust the timing to suit your travel itinerary.

Is spraying paint safe for my health?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in any fumes, along with nitrile gloves and protective overalls. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our artists are also trained in site safety to ensure everyone has a blast without any risks. You are in very safe, professional hands.

What is the group size for the workshop?

The minimum group size usually starts at 4 people to keep the energy high, but we can accommodate massive groups of up to 100+ for larger tour groups or events. If you are a solo traveller or a couple, get in touch anyway—we might be able to slot you into an existing session or arrange a private VIP creative experience just for you.

Do I get to keep my artwork?

In Medellin, we usually work on large professional plastic foils stretched between pillars or on specific legal walls, depending on the current local permits. This allows you to go big and bold! If you'd prefer to take something home, we can also arrange for individual canvases. Just let us know your preference when you book so we can have the right gear ready.

What happens if it rains?

Medellin's weather is usually 'Eternal Spring', but if we get a tropical downpour, we have several covered outdoor locations at our disposal. We rarely cancel; we just move under a roof where the air still flows but the paint stays dry. If the weather is truly extreme, we’ll work with you to reschedule for a sunnier slot during your stay in the city.
