Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Sofia have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating cool effects. We focus on a relaxed, fun atmosphere where there are no mistakes, only 'happy accidents.' You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the techniques and create something awesome!

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

Sofia’s weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. Whenever possible, we use sheltered outdoor spots or indoor alternative spaces to ensure the spray session goes ahead. If the weather is truly extreme, we offer flexible rescheduling or a full refund. We always have backup plans in place so your holiday schedule doesn't get ruined by a bit of Bulgarian rain.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

For our standard tourist workshops, we provide high-quality canvases that you can take home with you! They fit easily into most suitcases once dry. If we are working on a larger communal mural, you won't be able to take the wall home (obviously!), but you'll get plenty of high-resolution photos of your masterpiece to show off on social media.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. The paints we use are professional-grade but safe when handled correctly under our artists' supervision. We also choose workshop locations with plenty of ventilation to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full-body protective suits, spray paint can be sneaky. Also, it’s best to avoid your brand-new white trainers. Sofia's street art spots can be a bit rugged, so sturdy footwear is always a good idea for the full urban experience.

How long does the experience usually take?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of Sofia's underground scene, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you’re in a larger group or want a more intensive masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your schedule.

Step by step

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your local artist guide at our vibrant Sofia street art hub. We’ll start with a quick chat about the local scene's history.

Gear up for safety: We’ll suit you up in protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks to keep you safe and clean.

The main event: It’s time to move to your final canvas. Start layering your colours and watching your design come to life.

Local culture

Sofia is a city where ancient history meets edgy modernism, and its street art scene is a testament to that. From the hidden gems in the Tsar Shishman district to the massive murals on the socialist-era blocks in Hadzhi Dimitar, the city is an open-air gallery. Our workshops take place in areas that capture this gritty, authentic spirit. We don't just teach you to paint; we share stories of the local crews and the evolution of the Sofia Urban Art movement. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Sofia is home to the "Gift of the Clouds" mural, one of the tallest in Eastern Europe? The city’s authorities have become increasingly supportive of street art, turning Sofia into a colourful canvas for world-renowned artists! ✌️

While you're here, don't miss out on exploring other creative hubs like Plovdiv or the seaside vibes of Varna and Burgas. If you're heading north, the artistic spirit of Ruse is also worth a visit!

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. Since every group is different, our prices reflect the scale of your creative session. 🔥
