Frequently asked questions

I have zero artistic talent, can I still join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Debrecen have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We provide a safe, supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something look-worthy with just a few expert tips.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We've got you covered! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you and your clothes clean. However, graffiti can be a bit messy, and spray paint is permanent if it catches a stray sleeve. We always recommend wearing comfortable, older clothes and trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic character' on just in case.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control and much safer for beginners. We also provide professional-grade respiratory masks and ensure all our workshop locations in Debrecen are well-ventilated or outdoors. Our artist-instructors supervise every step of the process to ensure everyone has a blast while staying completely safe.

How long does the experience take?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the craft, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are in a rush or want a deeper dive, we can often adjust the timing to fit your Debrecen itinerary.

Are there minimum or maximum group sizes?

We are super flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a private 1-on-1 session or part of a large tour group visiting the Great Reformed Church, we can accommodate you. Small groups are great for personal coaching, while larger groups (up to 50+) create an amazing high-energy atmosphere. Just let us know your group size when booking.

Do I get to keep the artwork I create?

Yes! While we often paint on large practice walls to give you the real street experience, most of our tourist workshops include a high-quality canvas or board. This means you can take your unique piece of Debrecen street art home with you as the ultimate souvenir. If you're travelling light, let us know and we can discuss digital alternatives or shipping options.

What happens if it rains on the day?

The weather in Debrecen is usually lovely, but if it rains, we don't let it dampen our spirits. We have access to several covered and indoor locations across the city where we can spray safely. If the weather looks truly terrible, we can also look at rescheduling your session to another time during your stay, subject to artist availability.
