Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous drawing or painting experience?

No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our onboarding workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive under our guidance. We focus on fun and learning, ensuring everyone feels like a street artist by the end of the session.

Is it safe to use graffiti spray cans?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to protect your clothing. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for you to explore your creative side safely.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Although we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. It’s best to avoid your brand-new designer trainers or expensive white shirts just in case! Check the weather forecast for Antwerp on the day, as most of our best locations are outdoors.

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

In the event of typical Belgian rain, we have several options. Antwerp has some great sheltered graffiti spots that allow us to continue the workshop while staying dry. Alternatively, we can often arrange an indoor location or, if necessary, reschedule the event for a better day. We always have backup plans in place to ensure your graffiti experience isn't ruined by a bit of drizzle.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard onboarding workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for learning the basics, practicing your technique, and completing a final masterpiece. We find this duration keeps the energy high and the creativity flowing without being too physically tiring. However, if you have specific timing requirements for your group in Antwerp, we can always adapt the schedule to fit.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

Absolutely! We believe in 'no cure, no pay.' You don't have to make any upfront payments to book your date and time with Graffitifun. We send the invoice after the workshop has taken place and you are completely satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of planning and ensures you can book your Antwerp street art adventure with total confidence.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

We are extremely flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends or a large corporate team, we can accommodate you. For very large groups in Antwerp, we simply bring in more of our professional artist instructors to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time with the spray cans. Just let us know your group size when requesting a quote, and we will handle the rest.
