How it works

  1. Safety first: We start with a quick briefing on how to use the spray cans safely and gear up in our protective overalls and gloves. ✨
  2. The basics: Your artist guide shows you how to control the pressure, creates lines of different thicknesses, and avoids those pesky drips.
  3. Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light paint to map out your design on the canvas or wall, getting the proportions just right. šŸŽØ
  4. Fill-ins: Learn the technique of 'filling' your letters or shapes with vibrant colours using smooth, consistent movements.
  5. The outline: This is where the magic happens! We’ll teach you how to add sharp outlines to make your artwork pop off the surface.
  6. Highlights and 3D: Add the finishing touches like 'shines' and drop shadows to give your graffiti depth and a professional look.
  7. The final reveal: Step back and admire your handiwork with the group—it's time for the ultimate photo op with your masterpiece! šŸ†

Frequently asked questions

Is this workshop suitable for people with no artistic experience?

Absolutely! Our onboarding workshop in Florence is designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic safety and 'can control' to advanced layering techniques. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the creative process. You'll be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and spray mist can travel! It's best to leave your favourite designer gear at home and opt for something comfortable and practical so you can focus entirely on your masterpiece without worrying about your outfit.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard onboarding workshops in Florence typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe provides the perfect balance: enough time to learn the essential techniques and complete a full piece, but fast-paced enough to keep the energy levels high. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group that requires a different format, we can easily customise the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

Is the paint safe and do you provide protective gear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and professional-grade masks if required. We use high-quality spray paint and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment correctly. It’s a safe, controlled way to experience the thrill of street art.

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

Florence is beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable! If rain is in the forecast, we usually try to move the workshop to a covered outdoor location to keep you dry while maintaining that authentic street art feel. If the weather is truly extreme, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find an indoor alternative. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what!

Can you host the workshop at a location of our choice?

While we usually set up at our tried-and-tested street art spots around Florence, we are totally mobile! If you have a specific venue in mind—like a hotel garden, a courtyard, or a private event space—we can bring the entire graffiti studio to you. We'll just need to check the suitability of the space for ventilation and protection of the surrounding area. Just let us know your preference!

Do I need to pay upfront for the workshop?

We believe in a 'fun first' approach. That’s why we don’t require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You can book your Florence graffiti experience with total peace of mind and simply pay after the workshop is completed. We want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before we talk about the bill. It's all part of our commitment to a stress-free, creative day.
