Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Bologna graffiti workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every stage, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on providing a fun, supportive environment where you can explore your creativity without any pressure, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're proud of.

Is the workshop safe and what gear is provided?

We take safety very seriously. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks to filter fumes, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal graffiti zones in Bologna. Our instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can to ensure a risk-free experience.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard public art workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a solid introduction to the history of the movement, a practice session on cardboard or practice walls, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you have specific time constraints for a group booking in Bologna, we can often tailor the duration to suit your schedule.

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

Bologna is famous for its beautiful weather, but we always have a plan B. In case of heavy rain, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor location or an indoor space with adequate ventilation. Alternatively, because we offer a 'pay-after' service, we can look at rescheduling your session to another date that suits you without any financial penalty.

Is there an age limit for participants in Bologna?

For our standard public art workshops in Bologna, the minimum age is generally 6 years old. Graffiti is a fantastic way for children to develop motor skills and creative thinking. For younger participants, we use water-based spray paint which is low-odour and easier to handle. We also offer specific packages tailored for kids' parties if you're looking for a more youth-focused event.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to make an upfront payment to secure your booking. Once the session is complete and you're happy with the experience, you can settle the payment. This provides you with total peace of mind and reflects our commitment to 100% customer satisfaction.

What should I bring with me to the workshop?

We provide all the professional materials you'll need, including a wide variety of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different line thicknesses, and all necessary safety equipment. We also bring practice surfaces like large cellophane wraps or wooden boards. The only thing we recommend you bring is yourself, some comfortable old shoes, and plenty of creative energy!

Local culture

Bologna isn't just about the "Two Towers" and incredible pasta; it's a living gallery of urban expression. Walking through districts like Bolognina or along the walls of the university quarter, you'll see why this city is a magnet for street artists from across Europe. The city has a long history of student activism and social movements, which have naturally translated into a thriving graffiti scene. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, often taking place in areas that showcase the contrast between Bologna's medieval architecture and its modern, rebellious art. We celebrate the local legends and the specific 'Bolognese' styles that have evolved over decades, giving you an authentic taste of the city's contemporary culture.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible to suit different group sizes and setup requirements:

Price range: €25 - €55 per person
No upfront payment: Pay only after the experience is complete.
Satisfaction guaranteed: We pride ourselves on the quality of our sessions.
