How it works

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during the holidays?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paint that is low-odour where possible and we provide all participants with protective gloves and masks. Safety is our top priority, and our professional instructors guide everyone on how to use the equipment correctly. We've hosted thousands of school holiday workshops across the Netherlands, ensuring a secure environment where kids and teens can focus entirely on their creative flow and having a blast!

Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our school holiday workshops in Utrecht are designed for all skill levels. Whether you've never touched a spray can before or you're a budding artist, our instructors will teach you everything from basic lines to advanced shading. We break down the process into easy, manageable steps so that everyone leaves with a piece of art they are truly proud of. It’s all about the experience!

What should we wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful.' While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and paint might find its way onto your sleeves or trainers. Think of it as a badge of honour from your creative session! Dressing comfortably is key so you can move freely while painting your masterpiece.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our holiday workshops typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides enough time for a solid introduction, a practice session on the plastic film or walls, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and ensuring everyone remains focused and excited throughout the entire creative process without getting too tired.

Do we get to keep the artwork we create?

Yes, you certainly can! Depending on the specific holiday package you choose, you can often take home your own custom-painted canvas. If we are working on a large communal mural, we’ll make sure to take plenty of high-quality photos of the group with the final artwork. It’s a fantastic way to remember your school holiday adventure in Utrecht and show off your new skills.

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

If it's just a light drizzle, we usually keep going under cover or using our sturdy outdoor setups. However, if the Utrecht weather really misses the mark with heavy rain or storms, we have indoor locations available or can reschedule the session. We always have backup artists and flexible plans to ensure your holiday activity isn't ruined by a bit of typical Dutch weather!

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking is super easy! You can use our online cost calculator to get an instant estimate for your group size. Once you're happy, just send us a request. The best part? No upfront payment is required. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We recommend booking early for the summer and spring holidays as spots fill up fast!
