Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Thessaloniki street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, nozzle selection, and layering. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring you feel confident and inspired regardless of your previous artistic experience. Just bring your enthusiasm and we will handle the rest!

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor festival settings. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a secure environment where the only thing you need to worry about is your next masterpiece.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our festival workshops typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for learning the essential techniques and completing a piece without feeling rushed. We find this duration keeps the energy high and allows for plenty of hands-on practice. If you are organising a larger event in Thessaloniki, we can adapt the schedule to fit your specific festival timeline.

What happens if it rains during the event?

Thessaloniki can be sunny, but we come prepared! Most of our festival workshops are held under cover or in areas with shade. If the weather looks particularly rough, we have backup plans and flexible scheduling. Plus, we have a pool of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a cancellation ruining your festival vibes.

Will I get to take my artwork home?

For our festival-style events, we usually work on large-scale shared surfaces or individual canvases that you can take home as a souvenir. During major Thessaloniki events, we often create a massive collaborative mural where every participant's contribution merges into one giant community artwork. It’s a fantastic way to see how individual creativity contributes to a larger urban story.

What is the maximum group size for a festival workshop?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends or a massive festival crowd of hundreds, we can scale our team and materials to accommodate you. For very large groups, we rotate participants in 'waves' so everyone gets quality time with the instructors and plenty of space to spray. Just let us know your expected numbers and we will scale the fun accordingly.

How do I book and is there an upfront fee?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, then send us a request. The best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be totally happy before a single Euro changes hands.
