Frequently asked questions
Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the pressure, switch nozzles, and create clean lines. Berlin's street art scene is about expression, not perfection, so we'll make sure you feel confident and supported as you create your very first masterpiece on a real wall or canvas.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need for the ultimate Berlin street art experience. This includes high-quality spray cans in various colours, different types of nozzles (caps) for various effects, protective gloves, and masks. We also provide protective suits to keep your clothes clean, though we still recommend wearing something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case!
Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?
Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated or outdoor areas. Our instructors are professional artists who guide you through the process step-by-step, ensuring a safe and creative environment for everyone involved.
Do I need to pay upfront for the booking?
No, you don't need to pay anything when you book your session. We believe in the quality of our service, so we operate on a 'pay after the workshop' basis. This gives you total peace of mind. Once the workshop is finished and you're happy with your creation, you can settle the payment. It's all about keeping things flexible and stress-free for your holiday.
How long does the graffiti experience last?
Our standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the history of Berlin street art, learn the basic techniques, sketch out your ideas, and finally get to work on the wall. If you have a specific schedule or a large group, we can adjust the duration to fit your needs perfectly.
Where in Berlin do the workshops take place?
We can host workshops at various iconic locations across Berlin. From legal graffiti walls in public parks to private studio spaces, we choose spots that capture the authentic spirit of the city. If you have a specific location in mind or want us to come to a particular venue, just let us know and we'll do our best to make it happen for your group.
What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?
We suggest wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Since many workshops are held outdoors near the East Side Gallery or Mauerpark areas, please dress according to the Berlin weather on the day.
