Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our Heraklion guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the pressure, create clean lines, and fill in colours. We provide a supportive, fun environment where there are no mistakes, only 'happy accidents' in the making. You will be amazed at what you can achieve in just a couple of hours.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray cans in various colours, caps for different line widths, protective overalls, gloves, and high-standard masks. We also provide the surface—whether that is a dedicated wall or individual canvases you can take home. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality paints and provide professional-grade respiratory masks and protective gear for every participant. Our instructors are experienced graffiti artists who supervise the group throughout the session, ensuring everyone uses the tools correctly. The workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones where it is safe and legal to paint.

Can children participate in the Heraklion graffiti workshop?

Yes, we love hosting younger artists! Our public workshops in Heraklion are generally suitable for anyone aged 8 and up. For younger children, we use water-based spray paints which are even friendlier to use. It's a fantastic way for kids to burn off some creative energy and learn about a modern art form in a supervised, constructive setting. Parental supervision is required for minors.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We are very flexible! If the Cretan weather doesn't play along, we have several options. We can move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We will contact you ahead of time if the forecast looks particularly rainy to discuss the best alternative for your group.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard public art workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and the creation of your final piece. If you are part of a larger team-building event or festival, we can extend the duration to 3 hours or more to allow for more complex mural designs.

Do I need to pay in advance?

No upfront payment is required when you book with Graffitifun! We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel confident. You can choose to pay on the day of the event after you've had your creative experience. We accept various payment methods, making the process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on the art.

Local culture

Heraklion is a city where ancient history meets modern grit. While most people flock to the Palace of Knossos, the city’s heart beats in its narrow alleys filled with contemporary murals and hidden tags. The street art scene here is a dialogue between the island's rebellious spirit and its artistic soul. Our workshops take place in areas where the urban landscape becomes our playground, reflecting the vibrant, sun-drenched energy of Crete.

Fun fact: Did you know that Heraklion hosts some of the most impressive large-scale murals in Greece? Many of these were created during local art festivals, blending traditional Greek mythology with modern graffiti styles! 🏛️✨

Beyond our public sessions, we also host events in other major hubs. If your travels take you across the mainland, check out our workshops in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, or Larissa.

Pricing

Standard Workshop: €20 - €45 per person

*Prices vary based on group size, duration, and whether you want individual canvases or a shared wall space.
