How it works

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your local Porto artist at the site and get a quick intro to the fascinating world of street art and urban culture.
Gear up for action: We suit you up in protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks so you can get messy without ruining your favourite outfit.
The basics of 'the can': Learn the fundamental physics of spray paint—how distance, pressure, and speed change the lines you create on the wall.
Practice makes perfect: Head to the practice wall to try your hand at 'tags' and 'throws', getting a feel for the spray flow before starting your main project.
Sketching your vision: Work with the artist to sketch out your design. Whether it's your name in bubble letters or a wild character, we help you plan it out.
Filling and fading: Learn the pro secrets of 'filling' shapes smoothly and creating those iconic graffiti fades and colour transitions.
The final outline: This is where the magic happens! Add the sharp 'power-line' or outline to your work to make the whole piece pop off the wall.
The grand reveal: Step back, snap some photos of your masterpiece, and celebrate your new skills with the rest of your creative crew. ✨

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic skills to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Porto onboarding workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on making the experience fun and accessible, so by the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created regardless of your previous art grades.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

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 masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or wall space for your session. All you need to bring is some creative energy and perhaps some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. we provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes, along with gloves and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor studios. Our instructors are also trained to manage the group safely, ensuring everyone keeps a respectful distance while spraying and uses the equipment correctly at all times.

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

Rain in Porto doesn't have to stop the fun! We have several covered outdoor locations and indoor studio options available. If the weather looks particularly bad, we will coordinate with you to move the workshop to a sheltered spot or, if preferred, look at rescheduling. We always have a backup plan ready to ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of Portuguese drizzle.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard onboarding workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of learning the history of the craft, practicing basic techniques on a practice wall, and then completing your final piece. If you have a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass experience, we can easily extend the duration to suit your specific needs and schedule.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We host small private groups, such as families or friends, but we are also pioneers in large-scale events for company outings or festivals. Whether you are a duo looking for a unique date or a corporate team of 100+ people, we have the staff and equipment to make it happen. For very large groups, we simply bring in more of our expert artists!

How does the booking and payment process work?

We offer 100% flexibility with no upfront payment required for most bookings. You can book your date and pay after the workshop is completed. We understand that plans can change, especially with travel or corporate schedules, so we aim to be as accommodating as possible. We also have backup artists available on standby to ensure your event never has to be cancelled.
