Frequently asked questions
I have zero artistic talent, can I still join the workshop?
Absolutely! Most of our guests in Brussels have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We create a supportive, fun environment where you can experiment without pressure. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created alongside your fellow travellers.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?
Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal graffiti zones. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups safely, ensuring everyone has a great time without any risks to their health or belongings.
What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?
Brussels is known for its drizzle, but we don't let it dampen our spirits! If the weather looks truly terrible, we often have access to covered outdoor spaces or sheltered legal walls. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible. If a session truly cannot go ahead due to extreme weather, we will work with you to reschedule or find a suitable alternative.
How long does the graffiti experience take?
The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for tourists as it allows enough time to learn the techniques and complete a full piece, while still leaving you plenty of the day to explore the Grand Place or grab some Belgian waffles. We can also tailor the duration if your travel itinerary is particularly tight or if you want a deeper dive.
What should I wear to the graffiti session?
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-body protective suits, spray paint can be unpredictable. Since Brussels weather can change quickly, bringing an extra layer is always a smart move. Other than your enthusiasm and a camera to snap photos of your work, we provide everything else you need.
Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?
Payments are handled with total transparency. One of our core values is that you don't need to pay anything upfront. You simply book your session, come to the workshop in Brussels, and pay once the activity is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.
Can I book a workshop as a solo traveller?
Our workshops are designed for groups, which makes them a fantastic social activity for families, friends, or solo travellers joined together. While we primarily focus on private group bookings, our pricing is tiered, meaning the more people you bring, the cheaper it gets per person. If you are a solo traveller, get in touch and we will see if we can slot you into an existing session.
