Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our graffiti workshops in Utrecht are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You don't need any prior drawing skills to walk away with a piece of art you're proud of. It’s all about having fun and expressing your unique personality through the medium of street art. 🎨

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality overall suits, gloves, and specialized masks to protect your clothes and ensure you breathe easy. However, we always recommend wearing 'painting clothes' and old trainers just in case. Gravity and spray paint can sometimes be unpredictable, so don't wear your brand-new designer gear to the workshop. Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities while you get creative. ✨

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard cultural event workshop in Utrecht typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group, we can customise the duration to fit your event perfectly. We ensure the pace is energetic and engaging! ⏱️

Where in Utrecht do the workshops take place?

Utrecht has some fantastic legal graffiti walls, such as those at Grindbak. Depending on your group size and the type of event, we can host the workshop at these local street art hotspots or at a private indoor/outdoor venue of your choice. We are fully mobile and can bring the entire 'street art studio' to your location, provided there is adequate ventilation and space for creativity to flow. 📍

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

No need to worry about the Dutch weather! If we are planning an outdoor session and the forecast looks grey, we usually have backup indoor locations or can provide professional tents. Since we have a large team of artists, we also have backup instructors available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned. Your creative experience is safe with us, come rain or shine! 🌧️

Are the spray paints and materials safe to use?

Yes, they are! We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary European-standard safety equipment, including FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our instructors are professionals who prioritise a safe environment, especially when working with schools or community groups. We ensure everyone knows how to handle the cans properly before the first cap is pressed. Safety is the foundation of our fun! 🛡️

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can start by using our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate. Once you're ready, reach out via our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience.
