How it works

  2. Design & conceptualisation: Brainstorm ideas for your piece, focusing on positive themes and community-building imagery.
  3. Safety first: Get geared up with your mask, gloves, and overalls while learning the essential 'do’s and don’ts' of spray painting.
  4. Mastering the nozzle: Learn the basics of 'can control'—from making thin lines and dots to filling in large areas smoothly.
  5. Outline & structure: Sketch your design onto the wall or canvas using light colours to create the skeleton of your artwork.
  6. The fill-in: Bring your design to life by layering vibrant colours and learning how to blend shades for a 3D effect.
  7. Defining the piece: Use high-contrast colours to add the 'power-line'—the final outline that makes your graffiti pop.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is an anti-vandalism graffiti workshop?

An anti-vandalism graffiti workshop focuses on the 'legal' and 'constructive' side of street art. Instead of unpermitted tagging, we teach participants how to create high-quality murals on designated surfaces. It’s an educational experience that channels youthful energy and creative impulses into something positive for the community, showing that art has a place when done with respect and permission. Everyone gets to be an artist without breaking any rules!

Do I need to be good at drawing to participate?

Absolutely! No prior artistic talent or experience is required to have a blast. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex spray-painting techniques into simple, manageable steps that anyone can follow. We guide you through the process from the first blast of paint to the final outline. You’ll be surprised at the amazing masterpiece you can create by the end of the session!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including high-quality FFP3 face masks to filter out fumes, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can to ensure a secure environment.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Avoid your brand-new designer trainers or your favourite white t-shirt. Dressing for the weather is also key, as many of our Lisbon sessions take place in beautiful outdoor settings.

How many people can join a single session in Lisbon?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends or a large school year of 100+ students, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'creativity stations' to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on time with the spray cans and personal guidance. No group is too big or too small for a creative revolution!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The standard workshop duration is usually between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have specific timing requirements or want a more intensive full-day masterclass, we can easily customise the schedule to fit your needs perfectly.

Where in Lisbon do the workshops take place?

We have several 'legal' hotspots around Lisbon where we regularly host workshops, offering a great street-art vibe. However, we are also fully mobile! If you have a suitable location—like a school playground, a corporate car park, or a private event space—we can bring the entire graffiti set-up directly to you. We handle all the logistics and site preparation to turn your space into an urban art studio.
