Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic skills to join?

Absolutely no experience is needed! Our onboarding workshops in Thessaloniki are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can create in just one session. We provide a supportive, judgement-free environment where your creativity can truly run wild.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep you and your clothes clean. The sprays we use are professional-grade but handled with strict safety protocols. Our instructors start every session with a safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment correctly, making it a worry-free experience for groups of all ages and backgrounds.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear including suits and gloves, street art can sometimes be a messy business. In the warm Thessaloniki sun, breathable clothing is a plus. We take care of everything else, including all the premium paint and canvases you'll need.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Thessaloniki is beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable. If we are at an outdoor location and it rains, we usually have indoor backup options or can reschedule the session to a better time. Because we have multiple backup artists available in the region, we are very flexible and will always work to ensure your event goes ahead without a hitch.

How long does the experience last?

Our standard onboarding workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to learn without getting fatigued. For larger groups or corporate events, we can customise the duration to fit your schedule.

Can you come to our specific location in Thessaloniki?

We offer total flexibility! We can host the workshop at one of our vibrant local street art spots in Thessaloniki, or we can bring the entire setup to your location. Whether it's a dedicated art space, a school yard, or your company car park, we make it work. Our mobile kits are designed to set up quickly and leave no trace behind.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and risk-free with Graffitifun. You can request a quote online, and once the details are confirmed, you don't have to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you pay after the session. This 'pay-after' system ensures you are 100% satisfied with your street art experience before any transaction takes place.

Will we be working together on one big project?

Yes! Creating a piece of art is a team effort. While you'll learn individual skills, most of our onboarding sessions culminate in a large-scale collaborative mural. It's an incredible way to see how individual 'tags' and styles come together to create a unified, professional-looking piece of street art. It’s perfect for building connections and memories with your friends or colleagues.
