Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe for participants with sensitivities?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups with diverse needs, ensuring that everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also choose spacious, well-ventilated outdoor or indoor locations in Porto to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for everyone involved. Your well-being is our top priority while we create art together!

Do we need any prior art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Special Needs workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists are experts at breaking down the process into simple, manageable steps. Whether someone wants to paint a full masterpiece or just experiment with different colours and textures, we provide the guidance needed. It’s all about the sensory experience and the joy of creation, not about being a 'perfect' artist from day one.

How do you accommodate different physical abilities?

We pride ourselves on being flexible. Before the session, we’ll chat with you about any specific physical or cognitive requirements of your group. We can provide stools for those who need to sit, adjust the height of the boards, or use different types of spray nozzles that are easier to press. Our goal is to make the workshop accessible and enjoyable for every single person in Porto.

How long does a typical workshop last?

We usually recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for our special needs programs. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' where energy levels stay high and engagement remains peaked without causing fatigue. However, we can easily shorten or extend the session with more breaks if that better suits your group’s rhythm. We work at your pace, never the other way around!

Do participants get to keep what they create?

Yes, they do! While we often work on large collective murals, participants also get to create their own individual piece on a canvas or board. This is a wonderful way for them to have a tangible reminder of their achievement in Porto. It’s always a proud moment when they see their finished work and realise they created something truly unique and beautiful.

What happens if we need to cancel or change our booking?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best parts about booking with Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the balance after the workshop is completed. Additionally, we have a pool of backup artists available in the Porto area, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will still go ahead as planned!

Where in Porto do these workshops take place?

We can host the workshop at various inspiring street art locations across Porto, or we can come to your specific facility or school. We just need a well-ventilated space (ideally outdoors or a large hall) and permission to set up our mobile plastic canvases. We bring everything needed to protect the surrounding area, so you don't have to worry about a mess!
