Frequently asked questions

What exactly is an anti-vandalism graffiti workshop?

An anti-vandalism workshop is a proactive, educational experience where participants learn the difference between illegal tagging and street art. By providing a legal outlet and professional guidance, we channel creative energy into constructive art projects. In Coimbra, this helps young people and community members respect their historic surroundings while still finding a voice through modern spray paint techniques. It’s about transforming 'damage' into 'decoration' through education.

Is the workshop safe for beginners and children?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. All our spray paints are professional-grade and our instructors are trained to manage groups safely. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone follows strict safety protocols while having the time of their lives making art.

Do I need to have any previous drawing or painting experience?

No artistic talent? No problem! Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours with a little bit of expert guidance and some cool stencils.

How long does a typical session last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group project or individual canvas. We can adjust the timing slightly to fit your specific schedule or event needs in Coimbra, ensuring a relaxed but productive pace for everyone involved.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We pride ourselves on an 'all-inclusive' experience. We provide all the professional spray cans (in a huge variety of vibrant colours), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the painting surfaces (either large boards or individual canvases). You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We handle the rest!

How does the payment process work? Do I pay upfront?

We believe in the quality of our service, so we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the bill after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience. This takes the stress out of booking and ensures that our focus remains entirely on providing you with the best possible graffiti experience in Portugal. Satisfaction is our absolute priority!

How does this program specifically help reduce vandalism in the city?

Coimbra is famous for its history, and our workshops teach participants to respect that heritage. By showing the effort and skill required to make 'real' art, participants develop a deeper appreciation for their urban environment. We often find that once someone learns how to paint a proper mural, they lose interest in quick, destructive tagging. It’s about building community pride through creative expression.
