Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for individuals with special needs?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors are experienced in working with diverse groups and ensure that every participant is supervised and comfortable. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and can adapt the environment to suit specific sensory needs, ensuring a worry-free and secure creative space for everyone involved in Florence.

Are the workshop locations in Florence wheelchair accessible?

Our Florence workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible. We carefully select locations that offer wheelchair access and flat surfaces. If you have specific accessibility requirements, just let us know in advance! We are committed to making sure every participant, regardless of mobility, can fully engage with the art and enjoy the experience of spray painting on our professional canvases.

What is the typical group size for these workshops?

Groups of all sizes are welcome! Whether you are looking for a small, intimate 1-on-1 session or a larger group activity for a local Florence organisation, we can accommodate you. Generally, our groups range from 5 to 20 people to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention from our artists, but we are happy to discuss custom arrangements for larger community events.

What should participants wear to the session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are also a good idea. We’ll take care of all the art supplies, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm and a 'ready to paint' attitude.

Do we need any prior art or graffiti experience?

Not at all! Our special needs program is designed for all skill levels, especially beginners. Our expert artists will lead you through the basics of 'can control' and simple techniques before you start your project. The focus is entirely on expression, sensory exploration, and having fun, so there’s no pressure to be a professional artist. Everyone leaves with something they can be proud of!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard graffiti workshop in Florence usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the techniques and complete a masterpiece without it being too physically or mentally taxing. However, we are completely flexible; if you need a shorter session with more breaks or a longer, more relaxed pace, we can customise the timing for you.

Can you host the workshop at our own location?

Yes, we can! While we have great locations in Florence, we are also happy to come to your school, community centre, or private garden. As long as there is adequate ventilation and a space we can protect, our mobile team can bring the entire graffiti experience directly to you. This is often a great choice for participants who feel more comfortable in a familiar environment.
