Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't picked up a pencil in years to seasoned doodles. Our professional artists in Antwerp will guide you through the process, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex spray-painting techniques. You'll be amazed at what you can create with just a little bit of guidance and the right tools.

What should I wear for the graffiti session?

We want you to stay clean while getting creative! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to keep the paint on the walls and off your clothes. However, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, so we strongly recommend wearing comfortable, older clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case.

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional respirators for all participants. Our local Antwerp artists are trained in safety protocols and will supervise the entire session. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the 'spray-safe' rules to ensure a fun, hazard-free experience for your entire group.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

We appreciate that travel plans can change. That's why we offer a flexible booking system with no upfront payment required. You only pay after you've completed your workshop and are 100% satisfied with the experience. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs without any hassle.

Wait, what if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Yes, Antwerp's weather can be a bit unpredictable, but it won't stop the art! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across the city. If the forecast looks rainy, we will coordinate with you to ensure the workshop takes place in a dry, comfortable environment. We always have a backup plan ready so your Belgian holiday plans remain on track regardless of the sky.

How long does the graffiti experience typically last?

Standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, practice sessions, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are on a tight schedule or want a more deep-dive experience, we can often adjust the duration to fit your Antwerp itinerary. Just let us know your preferences when you request your quote!
