  3. First lines: Practise basic strokes and dots on a practice wall to get a feel for the spray pressure and distance.
  4. Sketching the piece: Use light-coloured paint to outline your design or the collaborative festival mural.
  5. Filling in: Choose your palette and fill your shapes with vibrant colours, learning how to blend and fade like a pro.
  6. Cutting and outlining: Use a high-contrast colour (usually black or white) to sharpen the edges and make your artwork pop.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous artistic experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! While we love working with seasoned artists, our festival workshops in Antwerp are designed for everyone. Our professional mentors break down the basics of spray can pressure and cap control so that even those who have never held a can before can create something they are proud of. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes are just part of the creative process.

What safety gear is provided during the festival workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated festival zones. Our instructors are also trained to manage large groups safely while ensuring everyone follows the proper handling techniques for aerosol cans.

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

Antwerp's weather can be unpredictable, but the show must go on! If there is light rain, we often use gazebos or sheltered areas to keep the canvases dry. In the event of extreme weather that makes an outdoor session impossible, we aim to relocate to a covered venue or reschedule. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible with timing and logistics.

Is the workshop suitable for children and families?

Yes, we love making street art accessible to the younger generation! For festivals, we recommend a minimum age of 6 to 8 years old, as they need enough hand strength to press the spray nozzle. We use specialized low-pressure cans for children to make it easier for them to control the paint flow. It is a fantastic way for kids to develop their motor skills and express their creativity.

What do I need to bring with me to the workshop?

You don't need to bring a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for the ultimate street art experience: a wide range of premium spray paint colours, various nozzle types (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces we will be painting on. Just come with an open mind and wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty from the festival grounds.

Do I have to pay upfront to secure my booking?

We believe in the quality of our Antwerp workshops, which is why we offer a 'pay after the event' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments or deposits when booking. Simply confirm your slot, enjoy the full creative experience with our artists, and we will handle the administration and invoicing once the festival fun has concluded. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the service.
