Frequently asked questions

Can the graffiti workshop be held at our specific location in Salto?

Absolutely! Our Salto workshops are entirely mobile. We can bring the graffiti experience to your specialised care centre, school, or community hall. We ensure all surfaces are protected and provide proper ventilation or outdoor setups. This allows participants to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment while exploring their creative side with professional guidance and high-quality, safe materials.

How do you ensure the safety of participants during the session?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We use low-odour spray paint whenever possible and ensure the environment is well-ventilated. Our artists are specially trained to monitor the group constantly, ensuring that everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having the time of their lives.

What specific adaptations do you provide for different disabilities?

We understand that every individual has different needs. Whether it is physical mobility challenges, sensory sensitivities, or learning disabilities, we adapt our teaching style. We use larger caps for easier spraying, provide stencils for those with limited motor skills, and ensure the pace of the workshop matches the energy of the group. Our goal is to make art accessible to everyone.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard special needs session in Salto typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This timeframe is ideal—it is long enough to dive deep into the creative process and finish a masterpiece, but short enough to maintain focus and energy levels without causing fatigue. We can, however, adjust the duration to suit the specific attention spans and needs of your group.

What if a participant is unable to use a spray can?

While we encourage everyone to try the spray cans, we have plenty of alternatives! Participants can use paint markers, brushes, or stencils to contribute to the artwork. Our workshops are about the 'experience' and 'expression' rather than technical perfection. Our artists are experts at finding a way for every single person to make their mark on the final piece.

Do we need to pay for the workshop in advance?

Not at all! You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience we provide in Salto. This 'pay-after' policy ensures peace of mind for organisers and ensures that our focus remains entirely on delivering a fantastic, inclusive event for your group.
