Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Cologne graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray can control and lettering techniques. You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to create something spectacular. Most of our guests are surprised by the high-quality street art they produce by the end of the session. We provide all the guidance and tools you need!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We provide high-quality protective gear, including overalls, gloves, and high-standard masks to keep you and your clothes safe. However, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves if you get too excited! We strongly recommend wearing comfortable, older clothes and trainers that you don't mind getting a little dusty. It’s better to focus on your masterpiece than worry about a small paint splash on your designer gear.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority in Cologne. We provide high-quality respirators (masks) that filter out fumes, as well as protective gloves and body suits. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists are professionally trained to manage the equipment and ensure a safe environment for all participants, including children. We use professional-grade spray cans that meet all safety standards.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard cultural workshop in Cologne typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of your final artwork. If you have a specific time frame for your event, just let us know. We can often tailor the rhythm of the session to fit perfectly into your Cologne itinerary or event schedule.

Do I need to pay in advance?

In the spirit of the 'Cologne way' of being laid-back and flexible, we don't require any payment before the workshop takes place. You can book your date with confidence, and payment is handled after the event. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept various payment methods to make things as easy as possible for your group.

What happens if the artist is sick?

We have a 'the show must go on' policy! We work with a large network of professional street artists across Germany. If your assigned artist happens to fall ill, we have backup artists ready to step in so your event in Cologne isn't cancelled. We know how important your plans are, and we do everything in our power to ensure your creative experience happens exactly as scheduled.

Can we take our artwork home?

Absolutely! While we often work on large communal walls for that authentic 'mural' feel, we can also provide individual canvases or boards. This is a popular option for cultural events because it allows every participant to take their unique piece of Cologne street art home with them. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can prepare the right materials for your group.
