  2. Safety first: Get geared up in protective suits, gloves, and professional masks while receiving a quick briefing on can handling.
  3. Master the basics: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, including how different caps (nozzles) change the width and texture of your lines.
  4. Sketching your vision: Collaboratively decide on a theme or nickname and watch as the artist helps you sketch the blueprint on the wall.
  5. Color theory: Pick your palette from our massive range of spray colors and learn how to fill in large areas efficiently without drips.

Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Busan have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex mural techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to fill-ins and highlights. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created together with your friends or family.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, fine spray mist can sometimes find its way onto shoes or exposed sleeves. Think 'athleisure' or old sneakers. We want you to focus on your art without worrying about your fashion, so leave the designer gear at the hotel for tonight's dinner!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our guests is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional-grade filtered masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We conduct our Busan workshops in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces, ensuring a fun environment that meets all health and safety standards.

How long does the workshop experience last?

Our standard tourist graffiti workshops in Busan typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice drills, and the creation of a full-scale collaborative mural. If you have a tight travel schedule or want a more intensive 3-hour masterclass, we can certainly adjust the duration to fit your group's specific needs and vacation plans.

How does the 'pay later' policy work?

No stress here! At Graffitifun, we believe in a relationship built on trust. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking in Busan. You simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. We accept various payment methods, though many tourists find cash or local bank transfers the most convenient. Your satisfaction is our guarantee before any money changes hands.

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Of course! Busan's weather can be unpredictable, but our art never stops. We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations throughout the city. If the forecast looks rainy, we will coordinate with you to move the session to one of our backup spots. We also have a network of backup artists ready to step in, so your scheduled holiday activity is never cancelled due to staff illness.

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

While you can't usually take the 'wall' home, the memories and photos are yours forever! However, for smaller groups, we can arrange for the workshop to take place on individual canvases or boards that you can carry back to your accommodation. This is a popular option for travelers who want a physical souvenir of their creative journey in Busan to hang on their wall back home.
