Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our workshop participants in Cuenca have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who specialize in making things easy for beginners. We'll guide you through holding the can, controlling pressure, and basic strokes before you start your masterpiece. It’s all about having fun and letting your creativity flow without any pressure or judgement.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls for the session. You just need to show up wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session to make sure everyone handles the equipment correctly and stays safe while having fun.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Cuenca usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final artwork. We can also customise the duration based on your group's specific needs or schedule. Whether it's a quick creative break or a deep-dive afternoon, we’ll make it work perfectly for you.

When do I have to pay for the workshop?

Because we want to give you the best experience, we don't require any payment until the workshop is finished! You can book your date and time with confidence, knowing that you only pay once you've seen our artists in action and completed your creative session. This is part of our commitment to 100% satisfaction and making the booking process as stress-free as possible for you.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We can host workshops for almost any group size! From small private groups of 5-10 people to massive corporate events with hundreds of participants. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. If you have a specific number in mind, just let us know and we’ll arrange the perfect setup for your Cuenca crew.

What if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

We love working outdoors in the beautiful Cuenca weather, but we always have a Plan B. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we often have access to covered outdoor areas or indoor spaces where we can use water-based spray paints. Additionally, we have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead even if there’s a last-minute scheduling hiccup. Your creative experience is safe with us!
