Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Leipzig graffiti workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Our professional instructors will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. We believe everyone has a creative side waiting to be unleashed, and we provide a safe, supportive environment for you to experiment and find your own unique street art style.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We suggest wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, aerosol paint can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or shoes. It’s best to be comfortable so you can move freely while painting. Leipzig's weather can be changeable, so if we are at an outdoor wall, dress in layers to stay warm!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional masks with active carbon filters to protect you from fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits. All the paint we use is high-quality and compliant with safety standards. Our artists provide a full safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having fun.

How long does a typical session last?

Most of our standard public workshops in Leipzig run for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice runs on plastic or practice boards, and then the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass, we can arrange longer sessions upon request to dive deeper into specific techniques.

What happens if it rains on the day?

In the event of light rain, we often have covered areas or can move to an indoor studio space in Leipzig. If the weather is truly miserable and we are scheduled for an outdoor wall, we will coordinate with you to reschedule or find a suitable indoor alternative. We have a backup plan for almost every situation to ensure your creativity isn't dampened!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you certainly can! For most of our workshops, we use large canvases or boards that you are welcome to take home once they are dry. It's a fantastic way to remember your creative journey in Leipzig. If we are working on a large public legal wall, we recommend taking plenty of high-quality photos and selfies with your work before we leave.划

Is there an age limit for the workshop?划

We generally welcome participants from age 6 and up, though it varies slightly depending on the specific program. For younger children, we use smaller cans that are easier for little hands to handle. It's a popular activity for families in Leipzig! We ensure that the complexity of the workshop is adjusted to suit the age group, making it fun for kids and adults alike.

Local culture

Leipzig is widely considered the 'New Berlin' for a reason. Its street art scene is raw, authentic, and constantly evolving. Areas like Plagwitz, with its converted industrial spaces, and the alternative stronghold of Connewitz, serve as the perfect backdrop for our workshops. You'll see massive murals on old factory chimneys and intricate stencils hidden in quiet courtyards.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Leipzig is home to one of Germany's oldest legal graffiti walls? The legendary 'Black Wall' has seen thousands of artists come and go over decades, contributing to a visual history that defines the city's rebellious spirit.
