Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Cusco workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before, but by the end of the session, everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can occasionally be messy. It's best to leave your favourite designer gear at the hotel and opt for something practical. Cusco can get chilly when the sun goes down, so bringing a light jacket or jumper is also a smart move for after the session.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our guests is our top priority. We provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to protect against fumes, disposable gloves, and protective suits. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are professional artists who will brief you on the proper handling of spray cans to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Cusco typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice on our practice walls, and finally, the creation of your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the high altitude.

Are there any considerations for the high altitude in Cusco?

Cusco is high in the Andes, so we always suggest taking it easy. Spraying doesn't require massive physical exertion, but the fumes and the standing can be a bit more tiring than at sea level. We keep plenty of water on hand and encourage guests to take breaks whenever they need. If you've just arrived in the city, we recommend waiting a day or two to acclimatise before booking your session.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you certainly can! Depending on the specific workshop package you choose, you will usually create your final piece on a high-quality canvas or a specialised board. This means you can pack your artwork in your suitcase and take a truly unique piece of Cusco street culture home with you. It’s a far more personal and memorable souvenir than anything you’ll find in a standard gift shop.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

We understand that travel plans in Peru can change quickly! That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. If your plans shift, just let us know as soon as possible. We also have backup artists available to ensure your workshop goes ahead even if there’s an unexpected scheduling conflict. Your fun is guaranteed!
