Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners from scratch. We start with the basics of nozzle control and simple lines before moving on to more complex techniques. Whether you are a natural-born artist or have never held a spray can in your life, you'll walk away with a piece of art you're proud of. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We only use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every pop-up event to ensure everyone handles the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

Where in Lisbon do the workshops take place?

The beauty of our pop-up events is their flexibility! While we often use designated street art walls in areas like Marvila, we can also bring the experience to your specific location using mobile wooden walls or canvases. If you have a venue in mind, just let us know. Otherwise, we will arrange a fantastic spot that captures the authentic Lisbon street art vibe for your group to enjoy.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic character' on. Even though we provide full-body protective gear (overalls), spray paint can sometimes find a way onto your footwear. Think casual and practical—leave the designer suedes at home for this one! If we are outdoors, remember to bring some sun cream or a light jacket depending on the season.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard pop-up workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for introductions, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass or a quick teaser session for a larger event flow, we can definitely adjust the timing to suit your schedule. We are all about making it work for you.

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

We believe in the quality of our service, which is why we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience. We accept various payment methods, and we'll send you all the details during the booking process. This 'pay later' policy ensures you can book with total peace of mind and confidence in our team.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Lisbon's weather is usually fantastic, but we always have a plan B! If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the event to a covered outdoor area or use an indoor space with appropriate ventilation and floor protection. Because we have a large team and portable equipment, we are very flexible. If the weather is truly extreme, we'll work with you to reschedule at your earliest convenience.
