How it works

  1. Meet your artist: Gather at our designated festival wall in Zagreb where you'll meet your pro graffiti mentor.
  2. The safety briefing: Learn how to use the equipment safely and put on your protective gear (masks, gloves, and overalls).
  3. Master the 'can control': Understand how different nozzles (caps) create different lines, from thin 'skinny' lines to wide 'fat' sprays.
  4. Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design on the wall or canvas, getting the proportions just right.
  5. Filling and fading: Learn the technique of 'filling in' your shapes and creating smooth colour transitions and gradients.
  6. The 'cut back': Use background colours to sharpen your edges and make your graffiti letters pop off the surface.
  7. Final outlines and highlights: Add those crucial finishing touches, like white 'shines' and sharp black outlines, to bring the piece to life.
  8. The big reveal: Step back, snap some photos for your socials, and admire the collective masterpiece you've built together!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our Zagreb street art festival workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to complex shading techniques. We provide a safe, supportive environment where the only goal is to have fun and express yourself. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti is a messy art form and stray mist can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or trainers. Think of it as your 'artist's uniform' for the day! Avoid wearing your brand-new designer gear, just to be on the safe side.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, as well as protective gloves and full-body overalls. All our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces. Our lead artists are highly experienced in managing group dynamics and ensuring every participant handles the equipment correctly and safely throughout the entire festival experience.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The duration depends on the specific festival package you choose, but most workshops run between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Zagreb street art, practice different spray techniques on training walls, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. We ensure the pace is energetic and engaging so that nobody feels rushed or bored during their creative journey.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a small family, or a massive corporate team of 100+ people, we can accommodate you. For very large groups at festivals, we often set up multiple 'stations' with several artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on time and personal instruction. Just let us know your group size, and we will tailor the setup to suit your needs perfectly.

What happens if the weather is bad or an artist is sick?

Not at all! We believe in 'fun first.' While we are professional in our delivery and safety, there is no upfront payment required for most bookings—you can pay after the workshop. We also have a network of backup artists on standby, so even if an emergency happens, your event will never be cancelled. We are committed to making sure your Zagreb street art experience is 100% stress-free from start to finish.
