What should I wear to my Florence graffiti workshop?
Comfort is key! Since we’ll be using professional spray paint, we recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. We provide protective overalls and gloves to keep you mostly clean, but a stray puff of paint dust is always possible. Florence can get warm, so breathable fabrics are a great shout for our outdoor sessions.✨

Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can to master layering techniques. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a few expert tips. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before they meet us!🎨
