Why choose us in Mercedes?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next outing in Mercedes? It’s more than just painting; it's about breaking boundaries and expressing yourself in a way that traditional activities just can't match. Here’s why our experience is a total game-changer:

  • Boost team morale: Nothing brings a team together like collaborating on a giant, colourful mural! 🤝
  • Unique creative outlet: Step out of your comfort zone and try a medium that’s literally "outside the box."
  • Professional guidance: Learn from actual street artists who live and breathe this culture every day. 🎤

  • Totally inclusive: It doesn't matter if you can't draw a stick figure; we'll show you how to look like a pro. 💪

How it works

  1. Intro & gear up: Meet your pro artist and get fitted with protective suits, gloves, and masks. Safety first! 🛡️
  2. The basics: Learn about different spray nozzles (caps) and how to control paint flow and pressure like a boss.
  3. Tagging 101: Practice your first 'tag' or signature on a practice wall to get a feel for the spray can.
  4. Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design on the main canvas or wall surface.
  5. Fill-in techniques: Master the art of the 'fill' – learning how to apply solid colours evenly and efficiently.
  6. Outlining & shines: Add the crisp black outlines that make graffiti pop, followed by 'highlights' for a 3D effect. ✨
  7. Shadows & details: Use advanced shading techniques to give your artwork depth and character.
  8. The finishing touch: Refine your edges and step back to admire your masterpiece with the whole group.
  9. Photos & cleanup: Grab some epic group photos with your art before we handle the cleanup for you! 📸

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely not! Our Mercedes onboarding workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It’s all about having fun, getting messy, and discovering a creative side you might not have known existed. Everyone leaves with a smile and a finished piece of art!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street art pro for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a massive range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks. We also provide the canvases or boards that you'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or paint-splattered (just in case!).

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard onboarding workshops in Mercedes usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your own graffiti piece. If you have a specific schedule or time limit for a corporate event or party, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Is the workshop safe for everyone involved?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide all necessary PPE, including high-quality respiratory masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our experienced instructors supervise the entire process to ensure that everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. It’s a safe, controlled environment where creativity can run wild without any risks.

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

Since we are based in 'La Ciudad de los Murales', we love working outdoors! However, if the Uruguayan weather doesn't play ball, we have several indoor locations available in Mercedes that are properly ventilated for spray painting. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you can rest assured that your event will happen regardless of the forecast. We’ll confirm the exact location details with you well in advance.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in transparency and ease! There is no upfront payment required to book your Mercedes workshop. You can settle the payment after the workshop has been completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods and will provide you with a clear invoice. We want the booking process to be as stress-free as the graffiti painting itself!

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Of course! While we often work on large shared murals for team building, many of our formats allow you to paint on individual canvases. These canvases are yours to keep! They make incredible souvenirs of your time in Mercedes and a great addition to your home or office wall. Just let us know beforehand if you'd like the 'take-home' canvas option so we can prepare the right materials for your group.
