How it works

  1. Arrival and welcome: Meet our team at the designated Sofia festival zone where we'll get you checked in and ready to rock.
  2. Gear up: Put on your protective overalls, mask, and gloves. Safety first, but we make sure you look like a pro street artist too!
  3. Introduction to tools: Learn about the different types of spray cans, how pressure works, and the secret of using different 'caps' for fat or skinny lines.
  4. Practice your flow: Take your first shots at the practice wall. We'll show you how to handle the can to avoid drips and get those smooth, clean lines.
  5. Sketching the concept: Work with our artists to sketch out your design. Whether it's a tag, a character, or a wildstyle piece, we'll help you plan it.
  6. Fill-in and fading: Learn the techniques of 'filling' your letters and creating awesome 3D gradients and colour transitions.
  7. The outline: This is where the magic happens! We'll teach you how to 'cut' your lines to make your artwork pop off the wall.
  8. Final highlights: Add those professional finishing touches, like 'sparkles' or drop shadows, to give your piece that authentic Sofia street vibe.
  9. Group photo and cleanup: Capture your masterpiece with a photo and take home your canvas (if applicable) – then it's time for high-fives all round!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Sofia have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to cool techniques like fading and outlining. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create in just one session under our guidance.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority at every Sofia street art event. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, 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 specially prepared festival zones to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the street art festival workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic' dust on. While we provide full protective suits and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find a way onto your footwear! Since Sofia's weather can vary, dressing in layers is usually a smart move so you stay comfortable while you're getting active with the spray cans.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard festival workshop session in Sofia typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, practice session on the 'test walls', and the final creation of your own artwork. We find this timing is perfect for keeping the energy high and ensuring everyone finishes their piece without feeling rushed.

Can we book for large groups or corporate teams?

We are totally flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a small band of friends, or a massive corporate team, we can accommodate you. For large festivals in Sofia, we often run 'drop-in' style stations where hundreds of people can contribute to a giant mural throughout the day. For private group bookings, just let us know your numbers.

What is included in the workshop price?

Everything is included in the price! When you join us in Sofia, we provide the premium spray paint, a variety of nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. You also get the constant support and expert tips from our resident graffiti artists who stay with your group for the entire duration of the workshop.

Do I need to pay in advance for the workshop?

No, you don't need to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our Sofia workshops, so you can book your spot and pay after the experience is complete. This keeps things stress-free for you. We accept various payment methods and will provide all the details during the booking process to ensure everything goes smoothly on the day of the street art festival.
