How it works

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your local Ghent artist at the workshop spot and get a quick rundown of the history of street art in Belgium.
Gear up for safety: We’ll suit you up in protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks to keep the paint on the wall and off your clothes.
The blank canvas: Learn how to prep your space. Whether it's a dedicated street art wall or a take-home canvas, we show you how to start.
First lines and 'tags': Master the basic techniques of spraying. Learn the difference between a thin line and a broad stroke by adjusting your distance and pressure.
Sketching your design: Use chalk or light spray paint to outline your ideas. Your instructor will help you with proportions and style.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to blend colours and create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
The 'outline' and highlights: Add the finishing touches. A sharp outline and a few white highlights will make your artwork pop off the wall.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at drawing to join?

You don't need any artistic experience at all! Our Ghent graffiti workshops are designed for beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering those tricky 'fat caps' for filling. By the time we finish, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and trying something new in a supportive, creative environment.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful'. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint particles can sometimes find their way onto your sleeves or trainers. Think comfortable, casual, and ready to get messy! Avoiding your favourite designer gear is definitely a smart move when you're heading to a street art session.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. The spray paints we use are high-quality, but it is important to follow your instructor's safety guidelines at all times. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones in Ghent, ensuring a safe and breathable environment for everyone to enjoy their creative session.

Can children participate in the workshop?

Absolutely! We love hosting families. Graffiti is a fantastic way for kids and parents to bond over a shared creative project. We generally recommend a minimum age of 6 to 8 years old so they can handle the pressure of the spray cans effectively. It’s a brilliant way to keep the kids entertained while exploring the urban culture of Ghent in a hands-on way.

How long does the experience take?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, some practice runs on the 'practice wall', and then the final creation of your own artwork. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing in Ghent without feeling rushed. You'll leave with a massive sense of achievement and some Great photos!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Ghent's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If the forecast looks a bit grey, we have access to sheltered locations or indoor setups where we can still spray safely. We also have a large team of backup artists, so even if there's a last-minute hiccup, your creative journey in Ghent won't be cancelled. We’re committed to making sure your experience happens rain or shine.

How do I book a private session for my travel group?

Booking is easy! Use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us a message through our contact form. Because we don't require upfront payments, you can secure your spot and pay after the workshop. We recommend booking at least a few weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer tourist season in Belgium, to ensure your preferred date and time are available.
