Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?
No artistic talent is required at all! Our Cologne graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists looking for a fun, creative outlet. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can to layering colours. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive under our expert guidance. It's all about having fun and trying something new!
Is the spray paint safe and do you provide protective gear?
We provide all the necessary safety gear, including high-quality masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable, older clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case. Our water-based and professional-grade paints are safe to use, and we always prioritise your health and comfort while spraying.
How long does a typical Cologne street art session last?
A standard graffiti workshop in Cologne typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before you create your final masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into your sightseeing schedule without taking up the entire day!
Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?
Absolutely! While we often use large shared walls for the ultimate street art experience, we can arrange for you to work on individual canvases or boards that you can take home. If you are travelling light, we can even discuss shipping options or focus on the digital 'Tag Creator' results. It’s a fantastic, unique souvenir from your trip to Germany.
Do I need to pay in advance to book my spot?
We believe in a stress-free booking process. For most tourist groups in Cologne, there is no upfront payment required. You can settle the bill after the workshop once you've had a blast and are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods to make it as easy as possible for our international visitors.
What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?
Cologne's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We have access to several legal indoor graffiti spots and sheltered outdoor locations throughout the city. If the weather is really bad, our backup artists and flexible locations ensure your workshop goes ahead as planned, so your travel itinerary doesn't get ruined.
I am travelling alone to Cologne, can I still join?
Yes, we welcome solo travellers! While many of our sessions are booked by groups, we often have 'open' sessions or can pair you with other creative souls. It’s a brilliant way to meet new people while exploring the vibrant culture of Cologne. Just get in touch, and we will let you know which dates have availability for individuals.
