Is the paint safe for festival-goers?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your festival outfit pristine. Safety is our priority, so our artists also provide a full briefing on how to use the spray cans properly. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone involved, even in crowded festival environments. Our team handles all the setup and cleanup, leaving the site as we found it.
Can you set up a workshop anywhere in Bristol?
Yes, we are fully mobile! While Bristol has amazing spots like Nelson Street, we can bring the workshop to any festival field, park, or indoor venue. We just need a flat area and permission from the landowner. We provide all the necessary protection for the ground and surrounding structures, ensuring that the only spray paint ends up exactly where it is supposed to be—on the canvases or murals.
How long does a typical festival workshop last?
A standard festival 'drop-in' session usually sees participants spending 15 to 30 minutes at the wall, but we can tailor the duration to fit your event schedule. For set workshops, we usually recommend 1.5 to 2 hours to really dive into the techniques. We are flexible and can run sessions continuously throughout the day to ensure maximum engagement for your festival visitors.
What is the maximum number of participants?
We can accommodate almost any group size! For festival entertainment, we often run 'open-canvas' sessions where hundreds of people contribute to a collaborative mural over the course of the day. If you prefer structured small-group sessions, we can manage that too. Our backup artist policy ensures that even if a lead artist is unavailable, your event will proceed with a professional replacement.
Is there an age limit for the workshop?
Our festival workshops are generally suitable for anyone aged 6 and up. It is a fantastic multi-generational activity that brings kids, teens, and adults together. For younger children, we provide closer supervision and smaller cans that are easier to handle. It is a great way to keep families entertained while offering a unique, hands-on creative outlet that stands out from standard festival face painting.
Can we choose a specific theme for the graffiti mural?
We love working with organisers to reflect the local Bristol culture! Whether you want a mural that celebrates the city's maritime history, its legendary music scene, or a specific festival theme, our artists can pre-sketch a design for the public to fill in. This results in a high-quality finished piece that looks professional while still being a collective community achievement.
How does the payment process work?
We believe in the quality of our service, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' model. This gives you peace of mind that we will deliver a top-tier experience. After the festival concludes and you are 100% satisfied with the entertainment provided, we will settle the final invoice. No upfront deposit is required to secure your booking with our professional Bristol team.
