Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Hamburg pop-up events are designed for everyone, from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You will be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with a spray can in your hand. Fun and exploration are the main goals here!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or dirty. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti is a messy business, and spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think 'practical' rather than 'high fashion' for your creative session in the Hanseatic city!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional-grade FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free experience for all participants.

Is there an age limit for the pop-up event?

For our Hamburg pop-up workshops, the minimum age is typically 8 years old. This ensures that participants have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow safety instructions. We find that mixed-age groups work brilliantly, as kids and adults often inspire each other with their different approaches to street art!

How long does the graffiti session last?

A standard pop-up graffiti experience usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This includes the initial introduction, safety briefing, technique practice on plastic film or practice walls, and finally, the creation of your main masterpiece. It’s the perfect length of time to get fully immersed in the culture without feeling rushed.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, various nozzle types (caps), protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), and the surfaces you'll be painting on. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a few ideas for what you'd like to create!

What happens if it rains on the day of the event?

Hamburg weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If the forecast looks grim, we often use covered outdoor locations or transition to an indoor setup using water-based, low-odour paints that are safe for interior use. Since we have backup artists and flexible logistics, your event will go ahead rain or shine.
