Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Melo workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned illustrators. Our professional artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic can control and move on to techniques like layering and highlighting. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create with just a little guidance and some spray paint. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the process!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

The safety of our participants in Melo is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks and gloves to ensure everyone is protected from fumes and paint. All our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, often outdoors, to ensure maximum airflow. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use professional-grade materials that are safe when used according to our expert instructions.

What should I wear to the workshop?

Your comfort is key to a great creative session. We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or trainers! Since Melo can get quite sunny, don't forget your sun cream and a hat if we are working outdoors. Basically, dress for a fun, hands-on DIY day.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard public art workshops in Melo typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, learn the essential spray-painting techniques, and complete a full-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific time constraint or want a more intensive full-day masterclass, we can certainly tailor the duration to fit your event's schedule. Just let us know what you need!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are looking for a small, private session for a group of friends or a large-scale community project involving dozens of people, we can make it happen. For very large groups in Melo, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and coaching. There is no group too big or too small for a bit of creative spray painting.

Are materials included in the price?

Everything you need to create your mural is included in the package. We provide a wide range of professional spray paint colours, various nozzle types (caps) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, and suits), and the painting surface itself—whether that's a legal wall or mobile wooden panels. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some creative energy; we handle all the logistics and cleanup so you can focus on the art!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Melo has some beautiful sunny days, but if the weather doesn't play ball, we have backup plans. We can either move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor ventilated space. If you prefer the outdoor experience, we can also look at rescheduling to a different time. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very resilient to scheduling changes and rarely ever have to cancel a session.

Local culture

Melo is a city with a rich soul, known for its traditional roots and the famous Rio Branco border vibes. By introducing modern public art programs here, we are bridging the gap between Uruguayan heritage and contemporary urban culture. While the city is famous for its "Gaucho" traditions, the local youth and creative scene are hungry for new ways to express themselves. Our workshops often take inspiration from local landscapes and the rhythmic energy of the region.

Fun Fact: Melo is the setting for the famous movie 'The Pope's Toilet' (El Baño del Papa), highlighting the town's unique character and community spirit—a spirit we aim to capture in every mural we paint!

From the bustling streets near Plaza Independencia to the quieter corners of the city, we are committed to leaving Melo a little more colourful than we found it. Join us in adding a modern layer to this historic Uruguayan gem.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as unique as your art! Prices depend on the group size, location, and the specific setup you’re looking for. Whether it's a small workshop or a massive public mural project, we offer competitive rates with no hidden fees.

Bonus: You don't have to pay anything upfront. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete!
