How it works

  1. Intro & inspiration: We start with a brief history of street art and explore the unique styles found in Quito's Chuquiragua and La Floresta districts.
  2. Gear up: You'll get fitted with professional protective gear, including masks and overalls, so you stay clean while getting creative.
  3. Mastering the nozzle: Our artists teach you the 'can control' basics—learning how to make thin lines, thick fades, and 'dusty' effects.
  4. Sketching your concept: Use our interactive Tag Creator or pencil and paper to map out your design before hitting the wall.
  5. Fill-ins and fades: Learn how to apply vibrant colours smoothly and create 3D gradients that pop off the surface.
  6. The outline: This is where the magic happens! We'll show you how to 'cut' your lines to make your graffiti design look sharp and professional.
  7. Highlights and details: Add those final 'glints' and background elements that bring your collective or individual artwork to life.
  8. Photo op & wrap-up: We finish with a group photo of your masterpieces. Plus, you get to keep your canvas as a souvenir of your Quito experience!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any prior drawing or art experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of 'can control' and lettering step-by-step. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques. It’s all about letting loose and enjoying the creative flow in the heart of Quito.

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to ensure you stay clean and safe. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces. Our instructors are also trained to supervise the sessions closely, making sure everyone handles the equipment correctly while having a blast.

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard cultural graffiti experience in Quito typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have specific time constraints for your event, just let us know and we can tailor the duration to fit.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We bring the street art studio to you! We provide all the professional spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear, caps (nozzles), and the canvases or surfaces we'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable shoes. We handle the setup and the cleanup!

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

We believe in the quality of our experiences, so we don't require any upfront payment. You can book your session with confidence, and payment is handled after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative energy and the results of your Quito street art event.

Can you accommodate large groups or festivals?

Yes, we love making large-scale events happen! Whether it's a small group of friends or a massive cultural festival involving hundreds of participants, we have the staff and equipment to scale up. We even have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead without a hitch, no matter the group size.

What happens if it rains on the day of our event?

The weather in Quito can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If we are planned for an outdoor session and it looks like rain, we can often relocate to a covered area or use a large indoor space. Because we have multiple artists and flexible scheduling, we work hard to ensure the fun doesn't stop just because of a few clouds.
