Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be artistic to join the workshop?
Absolutely not! Our Toulouse street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a little bit of expert coaching and the right tools.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our top priority while we’re having fun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, and our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the festival environment is well-ventilated and comfortable for all participants throughout the session.
What should I wear to the festival workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear including overalls, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy when you're caught up in the creative flow. In the sunny climate of Toulouse, light layers are usually best so you can stay cool while you work.
How long does the graffiti experience last?
Most of our festival workshop sessions last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different nozzle techniques, and allow you to complete your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to get fully immersed in the culture without taking up your entire day at the festival, leaving you time to explore other attractions.
Can I take my artwork home with me?
Yes, you certainly can! At our festival workshops in Toulouse, we typically work on individual canvases or boards that you can take home with you once the paint is dry. It makes for a brilliant, unique souvenir of your time in the Pink City. If we are working on a massive collective mural, we’ll make sure there are plenty of photo opportunities for your socials!
Is there a minimum or maximum group size?
We love the energy of big groups! Our festival setups are designed to be scaleable. Whether you’re coming with a couple of mates or a larger group, we can accommodate you. For very large festival crowds, we often run rotating sessions so everyone gets a fair turn with the cans. No one gets left out of the creative process when Graffitifun is in town!
How does the payment process work?
We understand that festival plans can be fluid. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments for our bookings. You can organise your festival workshop experience and pay afterwards. We also have a reliable team of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a session being cancelled last minute.
