  • Proper pros: Learn from actual street artists who are active in the Porto scene and know every trick in the book. 🏆
  • No stress booking: Relax with our "pay after the workshop" policy—we're that confident you’ll love it.
  • Zero artist-block: Use our Tag Creator tool before you arrive to brainstorm your design!
  • The full kit: We provide the best gear, from premium cans to full-body protective suits (you won't ruin your shoes!).
  • Perfect for any crowd: We also do schools, festivals, bachelor parties, brand activations, company events, and kids parties. 🎉

How it works

  1. The warm welcome: Meet your professional street artist at the designated Porto location. We’ll start with a quick intro to the equipment and safety gear.
  2. Street art history: Learn about the evolution of graffiti, from New York subways to the vibrant murals found in the streets of Porto.
  3. Can control 101: Your instructor will demonstrate how to hold the can, adjust pressure, and create different line widths and effects.
  4. Sketching your concept: Grab a marker or a can and start sketching your design onto the practice surface. Don't worry, we're here to help guide your hand!
  5. Colour and fill: Learn the "fill-in" technique. You'll choose your palette and start bringing your piece to life with bold, vibrant colours.
  6. The sharp outline: This is where the magic happens! We'll show you how to add the final outlines and "power lines" to make your artwork pop.
  7. Adding details: Learn how to add highlights, shadows, and those little flourishes that separate a tagging amateur from a street art pro.
  8. Photo session & gallery walk: We’ll take professional-style photos of you with your finished masterpiece—perfect for sharing your Porto adventure online.

Frequently asked questions

I have zero artistic talent, can I still join the Porto workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Porto have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to fills and outlines. By the time the session ends, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed environment.

What safety gear do you provide during the event?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and produce less fumes. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We ensure a well-ventilated outdoor environment so you can focus entirely on your art without any worries.

What happens if it rains on the day of our street art experience?

Porto's weather is usually lovely, but we always have a plan B! If the weather turns sour, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or an indoor space using water-based, low-odour spray paint. We also have backup artists available, so your event is guaranteed to go ahead. We'll stay in touch leading up to your date to ensure everything runs smoothly.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

A standard cultural workshop in Porto typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of local street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your group or individual piece. If you have specific time constraints for your event, just let us know and we can tailor the duration to fit your schedule.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size for booking?

We are totally flexible! We can host small private groups of 5-10 people, or large-scale cultural events for over 100 participants. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and plenty of time with the spray cans. Whether it's an intimate family gathering near the Douro or a massive city festival, we have the scale to handle it.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

Wear something you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on. While we provide full protective overalls, gloves, and shoe covers, it’s best to leave the designer labels at home just in case! Comfortable trainers are a must as you'll be on your feet and moving around your canvas. Porto can be sunny, so bringing a hat and some sunscreen for our outdoor locations is also a smart move.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is simple! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or send us a request for a custom quote. Once we've agreed on the date, time, and group size, we'll lock it in. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required. You can pay after the workshop once you've seen how much fun everyone had. We make the process as stress-free as possible for you.
