Why choose us in Plovdiv?

Why choose a graffiti experience in the most artistic city in Bulgaria? Plovdiv offers the perfect backdrop for unleashing your inner rebel. Using a spray can isn't just about painting; it's about confidence, movement, and seeing the world as your canvas. Here is why our workshops are a total blast:

Epic Local Artists: Learn from the pros who actually paint the walls of Plovdiv. 🎤
Total Freedom: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only 'happy accidents' and cool layers.
Unbeatable Vibes: We bring the music, the energy, and the passion to every session. 🎉
All-Inclusive: We handle the mess and the materials; you just bring the creativity.

How it works

Arrival and gear up: Meet our crew at the festival spot. We’ll get you suited up in protective gear so your festival outfit stays fresh. ✨
Artist introduction: Meet your lead artist who will share some cool stories about the street art scene in Plovdiv and beyond.
The basics of the can: Learn how to hold the spray can, how to swap nozzles (caps), and the secret to making thin versus thick lines.
Sketching your vision: Pick up some chalk and outline your design on the wall or canvas. Our pros will help you get the proportions just right. 🎨
Filling and fading: Start the 'fill-in'. This is where you learn how to blend colours and create those smooth gradients that make graffiti pop.
The power of the outline: Add the final sharp outlines to your piece. This is the 'make or break' moment where your art truly comes to life!
Second-guessing with highlights: Add those little white 'shine' spots and 'power lines' to give your work a 3D effect. 🏆
Photo op and cleanup: Snap some photos of your masterpiece for the 'Gram. We take care of all the waste and recycling of the cans.

Frequently asked questions

I have never used a spray can before; is this suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle and manage pressure. By the time you're halfway through, you'll be amazed at the lines and shapes you can create. We focus on a fun, no-pressure environment where everyone can feel like a street artist for the day.

What safety measures and gear do you provide during the festival?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to handle than industrial paint. All sessions are supervised by pros who ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having the time of their lives in Plovdiv.

Is there an age limit for the graffiti workshop?

For our festival workshops in Plovdiv, we generally recommend a minimum age of 6 or 8, depending on the specific event setup. Younger children often lack the hand strength to press the spray nozzle effectively. However, we have special water-based paints and smaller cans for the little ones sometimes. It’s a fantastic, creative outlet for teenagers and adults alike to express themselves.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

We are prepared for the Bulgarian weather! If it's just a light drizzle, we often have covered areas or gazebos where the creativity can continue. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup indoor locations or can reschedule the session. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel an event entirely.

How long does a typical street art workshop session last?

Standard festival workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of graffiti, practice basic techniques on a training wall, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. If you're looking for a quick 'try-out' or a deep-dive masterclass, we can adjust the duration to fit your event schedule perfectly.

Do I need to bring my own paint or supplies to the workshop?

The best part is that you don't need to bring a thing! We provide the spray paint in a huge variety of colours, caps/nozzles, safety gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and old clothes just in case, even though we provide protective suits. Just bring your energy and your imagination to the Kapana district or wherever we're set up!

Why should I book with Graffitifun instead of other providers?

We pride ourselves on being flexible. Unlike many other providers, we don't require upfront payments – you can pay after the workshop. We also have a 'fun guaranteed' policy; if your group isn't having a blast, we'll do whatever it takes to fix it. Plus, our large network of artists across Bulgaria means we never miss a booking due to illness.
