Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Frankfurt graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering layering techniques. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment.

What should I wear and do you provide protective gear?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality overall suits, gloves, and masks to protect your clothes and keep you safe. However, spray paint can be a bit 'adventurous', so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Since many of our locations are outdoors or in open-air galleries, please dress according to the Frankfurt weather on the day of your session.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Frankfurt usually lasts about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time for you to complete your piece. If you have a tight travel schedule, let us know! We can sometimes adjust the duration to fit your itinerary, ensuring you get the full street art experience without missing your next Rhine River cruise or museum visit.

Is the workshop safe and legal?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paint and provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in legal, designated graffiti zones or private studios where it is 100% safe and legal to paint. Our artists are experienced instructors who ensure a controlled environment, so you can focus entirely on your creativity without any worries. It’s a safe, legal, and thrilling way to explore urban art.

Can I book this for a large group or as a solo traveller?

We love hosting groups! Whether you are a couple, a family, or a group of friends exploring Germany, we can accommodate you. While we have a minimum booking size for private sessions, solo travellers can often join scheduled group workshops. For larger groups, we provide additional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention. It’s a fantastic way to bond and create shared memories during your Frankfurt city break. Contact us for specific group arrangements!

Do I get to keep the artwork I create?

One of the best parts of our Frankfurt experience is that you get to take your art home! Most tourists paint on high-quality canvases or boards provided by us. These are easy to carry and make for the ultimate, one-of-a-kind souvenir from your German holiday. If you are painting on a larger communal wall, we make sure to take professional photos of you and your work so you can share your street art debut with friends online.
