How it works

  1. The warm welcome: Meet your local Medellin street artist and get introduced to the vibrant world of Paisa urban culture.
  2. Design brainstorming: Grab a sketchpad and start dreaming up your masterpiece. We'll help you refine your ideas into a spray-able design.
  3. Safety first: Get suited up in your protective gear and learn the essential dos and don'ts of handling professional spray cans.
  4. Mastering the nozzle: Practice fundamental strokes, from thin 'skinny' lines to wide 'fat cap' fills on a practice wall.
  5. The outline phase: Take the plunge and sketch your design onto the main wall or canvas using light 'ghost' lines.
  6. Colour explosion: This is the best part! Learn how to layer colours and create smooth gradients that make your art pop.
  7. The finishing touches: Add highlights, sharp outlines, and those professional details that turn a sketch into a piece of art.
  8. The big reveal: Step back, snap some photos for the 'gram, and admire the collective mural you've helped create.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Medellin graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our expert artists will guide you through everything from how to hold a spray can to mastering complex shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before in your life. We're all about discovery and fun here!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a messy business! We suggest wearing old trainers rather than your best designer gear. Since Medellin is the City of Eternal Spring, light, breathable fabrics are best for staying cool while you work your creative magic under the sun.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our participants is our absolute priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep you safe and clean. Our instructors are highly experienced and will provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use high-quality paints and ensure that our workshop areas are well-ventilated, whether we are working outdoors or in a spacious studio environment.

How long does the experience last?

Standard workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for the introductory history, the technique practice session, and the final creation of your large-scale mural or individual canvas. If you have a specific time constraint or want a more intensive full-day masterclass, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your group's schedule. Just let us know what works best for you!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Medellin's weather is usually beautiful, but we always have a plan B! If the clouds decide to open up, we can move the session to one of our covered outdoor spots or a spacious indoor studio. We also have backup artists available for every booking, ensuring that your event goes ahead smoothly regardless of unforeseen circumstances. We won't let a little tropical rain dampen your creative spirit!

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams?

We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a public session, a small family, or a massive corporate team of 100+ people, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time on the wall. The more the merrier when it’s time to paint Medellin!

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is super easy and flexible. You can request a quote via our website and lock in your date. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of planning and ensures you can book with total confidence knowing that your fun is guaranteed.
