Do I need any prior drawing or art experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists in Melo will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the rhythm of the can. It's all about having a laugh and trying something new.

How long does the graffiti workshop take?

Standard workshops in Melo typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the safety basics, practice some techniques, and complete a full-scale piece of art. If you are on a tight travel schedule, just let us know! We can often adjust the pace to ensure you get the full 'street art' experience without missing your next bus or tour.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, and protective gear. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that's a professional wall space or a portable board you can take with you. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a bottle of water to stay hydrated under the Uruguayan sun!

Is the paint safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks and gloves to keep you protected while you paint. Our artists are experienced professionals who will brief you on the correct way to handle the spray cans and how to maintain a safe distance from other painters. We choose well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations in Melo to ensure everyone can breathe easy while they create.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can change when you're travelling. One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your session, and you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. We also have a team of backup artists available, so even if an emergency crops up, we’ll do our best to ensure your session goes ahead.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable, 'old' clothes and closed-toe shoes. While we do provide some protective gear, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and trousers, and it’s notoriously difficult to wash out. Think of your outfit as part of your artist persona—something you don't mind getting a few 'creative splatters' on! Avoid your favourite designer gear for this particular activity.

Can I book a workshop in other cities in Uruguay?

While we love the vibe of Melo, we also host workshops in several other major Uruguayan hubs! If your travels take you across the country, you can also find our experiences in Montevideo, Salto, Artigas, and Mercedes. Each city offers a slightly different backdrop and local artistic flair, making it worth trying a session in more than one location if you're a true street art fan.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop when you're visiting Melo? Because it's the ultimate way to break the "tourist wall" and do something truly hands-on. Here’s why our experience stands out:

Expert local artists: Work side-by-side with pros who live and breathe the Uruguayan street art scene. 🎤
Total creative freedom: No "paint by numbers" here. We help you bring your own unique ideas to life on a grand scale.
No gear, no problem: We provide everything, so you don't have to worry about carrying supplies in your luggage. ✨
Safe and legal: Express yourself without the worry. We use designated spots where your art is welcomed.

Zero risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, we're 100% committed to ensuring you have a great time!

Step by step

The warm welcome: Meet your local graffiti pro at the designated spot in Melo. We’ll start with a quick intro to the history of street art. ✨
Gear up: We’ll hand out gloves, masks, and protective overalls. Safety first, style second!
Nozzle knowledge: Learn about different 'caps' and how they change the thickness and texture of your spray lines.
Practice strokes: Head to the wall and get a feel for the pressure. You'll practice basic lines, dots, and fades to build your confidence. 🎨
Sketching the vision: Work with the artist to sketch out your design. Whether it's your name, a local Melo symbol, or something abstract, it's your call.
Filling and fading: This is where the colour comes in! Learn how to fill large areas and create smooth gradients between different shades.
The outline: Use a steady hand to add the 'cut'—the sharp outlines that make graffiti pop off the wall. 🔥
Highlights and details: Add those final touches, sparkles, and 3D effects that turn a sketch into a masterpiece. 🏆
Photo op: Strike a pose in front of your finished work. It's the perfect souvenir from your time in Uruguay!
