How it works

  1. The safety briefing: We kick things off by getting everyone suited up in protective gear and explaining how to use the spray cans safely and effectively.
  2. Mastering the can: Your lead artist will demonstrate basic techniques, from 'fat caps' for filling to 'skinny caps' for those sharp, crisp outlines.
  3. Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light spray to map out your design on the wall or canvas. Don't worry, our pros are there to help you get the proportions right! ✨
  4. Filling in the colour: This is the fun part! Start layering those vibrant hues to bring your street art piece to life with bold blocks of colour.
  5. Adding the details: Learn how to create shadows, highlights, and 3D effects that make your graffiti 'pop' off the surface.
  6. The final outline: Define your work with a sharp black or white outline to give it that authentic professional street art finish.
  7. Group photoshoot: Once the 'piece' is finished, we gather everyone for a legendary group photo in front of the fresh artwork. 📸
  8. The clean up: We handle all the messy bits, disposing of cans and gear responsibly so you can head back into the festival buzz.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our street art festival experiences in Cuenca are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and safety. You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to Have a blast. We focus on the fun of creation and expression, ensuring everyone leaves with a smile and a masterpiece they are proud of. 🎨

What safety gear is provided during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as protective gloves and body suits to keep your clothes clean. All of our paints are professional-grade and our instructors are trained to manage group safety in a festival environment. We recommend wearing comfortable, old clothes and shoes just in case a stray drop of paint finds its way onto you! 🛡️

How long does the graffiti experience last?

The duration is flexible depending on your event needs, but most standard workshop sessions at festivals last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. If you are part of a larger festival rotation, we can also offer shorter 'taster' sessions to accommodate more people throughout the day. 🕒

Do I have to pay in advance?

We believe in flexibility and trust. You don't need to make any upfront payments to book your spot or event. We provide a clear quote based on your group size and requirements, and you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we deliver in Cuenca before any money changes hands. It's all about the Fun! 💸

What materials do I need to bring?

We come fully prepared! We provide all the professional spray cans in a huge variety of vibrant colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on (whether that's a communal wall, canvases, or panels). If the workshop is outdoors, we even bring gazebos if needed. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some creative energy to the festival grounds. 🎒

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

While we love the sunny vibes of Cuenca, we always have a plan B. If the weather doesn't play ball, we can often move the workshop under cover or use indoor-safe water-based spray paints if the venue allows. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. We ensure the creative spirit of the street art festival continues regardless of a little rain! ⛈️
