Do I need to be artistic to enjoy this workshop?
No prior art skills are needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners from scratch. We start with basic spray can control and safety, then move on to lettering and filling techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've created. It's all about having fun, getting messy (safely!), and expressing your unique personality through street art! 🎨
Is graffiti painting safe?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to manage group safety. We use professional-grade spray paints that are safe for use under our guided supervision during your cultural event in Leeds. ✨
What happens if it rains on the day?
We’ve got you covered! For outdoor sessions, we always have backup plans. If the Leeds weather decides to be typically British, we can move under cover or relocate to one of our partner indoor spaces. We also have a large team of backup artists, so even if an instructor is unwell, your event will proceed as planned without any stress! ☔
How long does the graffiti experience last?
A standard cultural event workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the initial safety briefing, technique practice on practice walls, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We can also tailor the duration to fit your specific schedule—whether you want a quick "taster" session or a deep-dive masterclass into street art culture. ⏱️
Can we take our artwork home?
Absolutely! While we love creating large-scale murals on walls, we also offer the option to paint on high-quality MDF canvases or tote bags. This is a popular choice for cultural events because it allows every participant to take their original piece of Leeds street art home with them. It’s the ultimate souvenir from your creative journey with us! 🏆
What should I wear to the workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Even though we provide full protective overalls, sometimes a little 'creative dust' finds its way onto trainers! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Other than that, just bring your energy and a willingness to try something totally new! 👟
