I've never painted before; can I still join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Ventspils graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. You don't need any prior drawing skills to create something spectacular. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they always leave with a huge smile and a masterpiece!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' touch on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves to keep you clean, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or shoes. It's best to leave your favourite designer gear at the hotel and choose something practical so you can focus entirely on your creative process!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including professional-grade masks to ensure you don't inhale any fumes, as well as gloves and overalls. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors are seasoned pros who will brief you on all safety protocols before we even pop the cap off a single can.

How long does the experience take?

The workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your group size and the specific package you choose. We find this is the 'sweet spot'—it gives you enough time to learn the theory, practice your lines, and finish a complete piece without getting tired. It fits perfectly into a busy sightseeing day in Ventspils!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

You bet! While we often work on large communal walls for the practice phase, we also offer the option to paint on individual canvases or boards that you can take home. It makes for the ultimate, one-of-a-kind souvenir from your Latvian holiday. If you're travelling light, we can focus our session on a large-scale mural experience where you contribute to a massive piece of street art.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't stop the fun! Ventspils can be breezy, but we have access to covered outdoor spots and indoor studio spaces that allow us to keep the paint flowing regardless of the weather. We always have a backup plan ready, so you don't have to worry about your holiday plans being cancelled due to a few clouds. Fun is guaranteed, rain or shine!

Creative graffiti and street art workshops, tourists in Ventspils

Visiting the "City of Cows" and looking for something more edgy than a stroll through the flower gardens? Welcome to the most vibrant experience in Ventspils! Our graffiti workshop for tourists is designed to give you a hands-on taste of the street art world in one of Latvia's most beautiful coastal cities. Skip the traditional tourist traps and grab a spray can instead. Lead by professional local artists who live and breathe urban culture, you'll learn everything from basic "tagging" to creating complex 3D murals. Whether you're a solo traveller, a couple on a quirky date, or a family looking for a creative outlet, this is your chance to leave a temporary (and legal!) mark on the city's artistic soul. We provide all the gear, the paint, and the vibes—you just bring your imagination. Ready to make your mark? 🎉

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Ventspils adventure? Because sightseeing is better when you’re actually doing something! Here is why our experience is the highlight of any Latvian holiday:

🔥 Authentic Culture: Connect with real Latvian street artists and hear the stories behind the local scene.
📸 Perfect Photos: Forget the standard lighthouse selfies; your photos with a spray can and a mural will blow up your social media.
🛡️ Zero Risk: With our backup artist guarantee and "pay after" policy, your holiday plans are in safe hands.
👨‍👩‍👧 Total Inclusivity: Grandparents, kids, and total beginners—everyone can master the can with our help!
🎁 Unique Souvenir: Take home a canvas you painted yourself rather than a generic fridge magnet.

Step by step

The warm welcome: Meet your local Ventspils artist at the designated street art spot. We'll start with a quick intro to the history of graffiti culture.
Safety first: Suit up! We'll provide you with protective gear and show you how to use the equipment safely and effectively.
Can control 101: Learn the basics of spray painting—how to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fills by adjusting your hand pressure and distance.
Sketching your vision: Before hitting the wall, we'll help you sketch out your design ideas on paper, focusing on layout and letter structure.
The first layer: Time to make your mark! You'll start by outlining the 'bones' of your piece on the designated surface.
Adding the 'pop': This is where the magic happens. We'll teach you how to fill in colours and add those iconic 3D shadows and highlights.
Fine-tuning: Your instructor will help you sharpen the edges and add the final 'power lines' to make your artwork truly stand out.
The big reveal: Step back and admire your work. We'll take plenty of professional-looking photos of you and your creation for the 'gram.
The clean-up: Pack up your gear and (if you've opted for a canvas) take your fresh piece of Ventspils art back to your accommodation!

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically run for 1.5 to 3 hours.
Group Sizes: We cater to everyone—from solo explorers to large groups of up to 50 people.

Local culture

Ventspils is famous for its "Cow Parade" sculptures and pristine Blue Flag beach, but tucked away from the main promenade is an emerging appreciation for urban art. The city’s clean, architectural lines provide the perfect contrast for the raw energy of graffiti. By joining our workshop, you aren't just a spectator; you're becoming part of the creative fabric of the Kurzeme region. We often host our sessions near industrial-cool backdrops that reflect the city's status as a major port, giving you a vibe that's totally different from the old town charm of Riga.

Fun Fact: Did you know Ventspils has over 25 giant cow sculptures? While we don't suggest tagging the cows, our workshop captures that same playful, creative spirit that the city is famous for! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be as flexible as our art! Depending on your group size and how much paint you want to burn through, prices range from:

€18 – €38 per person

We believe in "play now, pay later"—no upfront payment is required to secure your spot. We are so confident you’ll have a blast that we focus entirely on your satisfaction! ✨
