Frequently asked questions

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti in Porto?

Absolutely not! Our Porto anti-vandalism program is specifically designed to teach the difference between illegal tagging and legal street art. We focus on the ethics of public space and show participants that there are amazing, legal outlets for their creativity. By providing a structured environment and professional guidance, we actually reduce the urge to spray illegally by giving artists a sense of pride in their finished, legal masterpieces.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto surfaces! If you're joining us during Porto's sunnier months, remember to bring a hat and some water, as our outdoor creative sessions can get quite energetic and warm under the Portuguese sun.

Is the workshop safe for children and beginners?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, protective suits, and gloves. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups safely, ensuring everyone follows proper spray techniques. We also choose our workshop locations in Porto carefully to ensure a safe, stable environment for all participants to enjoy their creative journey without any risks.

How long does a typical session last?

Usually, our anti-vandalism workshops in Porto last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is the perfect 'sweet spot'—it gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic 'can control,' and complete a collaborative mural or individual pieces. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group, let us know, and we can tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly!

Do I need to be an artist to join?

No prior artistic skill is required at all! We love working with total beginners. Our Porto-based artists guide you through every step, from how to hold the can to creating cool 3D effects. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just one session. The goal is to have fun and learn something new, not to create a museum-grade masterpiece (though many of our guests do)!

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Porto's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. We have access to several indoor and sheltered locations throughout the city. If the 'Norte' rain decides to join us, we simply move the workshop to a dry spot or reschedule to a time that suits you. We make sure that neither rain nor wind stops the creative flow for your group.

How many people can participate in one session?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small family group or a large corporate team of 100+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups in Porto, we bring in additional professional artists and backup staff to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time with the spray cans. Just get in touch, and we'll handle all the logistics for your specific group size.
