Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Charleroi graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will walk you through the basics of handling a spray can, from making clean lines to creating cool 3D effects. Most tourists find that they surprise themselves with what they can create in just a couple of hours. It’s all about having fun and being creative!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality overall suits, gloves, and masks to keep you and your clothes protected. However, spray paint can be a bit cheeky, so we always recommend wearing old trainers and clothes you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Since many of our Charleroi locations are outdoors or in industrial spaces, dressing for the weather is also a smart move.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced artists who will give you a full safety briefing before you even touch a can. We ensure a controlled environment, whether we are at a legal street art spot or a private venue, so you can focus entirely on your art.

How long does the session last?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick intro, practicing your first lines, and completing your final masterpiece. If you're looking for a more in-depth experience or have a very large group, we can certainly extend the timing to suit your needs. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing in Belgium!

What happens if it rains on the day?

The weather in Belgium can be a bit unpredictable, but it won't ruin your fun! If it looks like rain, we often move to one of our covered outdoor spots or an indoor urban location. Charleroi has some fantastic sheltered industrial spaces that provide a great atmosphere regardless of the weather. We have backup plans and backup artists ready to ensure your creative experience goes ahead as planned.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! While we often paint on large communal walls for that authentic street art feel, we can also arrange for you to paint on individual canvases or boards. This is a popular option for tourists because you get to take your unique Belgian souvenir home with you. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can bring the right materials along to the site.

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking is super easy! You can use our online cost calculator for an instant estimate or send us a request for a custom quote. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that you don't need to pay everything upfront. You can pay after the workshop! We also have backup artists available, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. Let’s get your Charleroi adventure started!
