Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Hamburg workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the nozzle to creating clean lines and shadows. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and being creative!

What should I bring or wear to the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a variety of vibrant colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal graffiti zones. Our instructors are experienced professionals who will brief you on all safety protocols before we begin. We ensure a controlled, creative, and completely safe environment for everyone involved. Ready to spray safely?

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Graffiti is a versatile art form! While we love working on large-scale urban walls for that authentic 'street' feel, we also offer the option to work on high-quality canvases. The best part about the canvas option is that you can take your unique piece of Hamburg street art home with you! Please let us know your preference when booking so we can prepare the right setup.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Hamburg weather can be a bit unpredictable, but we don't let a few drops of rain stop the fun! Many of our workshop locations have sheltered or covered areas. If the weather looks particularly nasty, we can usually reschedule or move to a covered spot. We'll always keep you updated, and because we have backup artists, we almost never have to cancel a session.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the scene, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and finally, the creation of your main piece. It's a packed, high-energy session that fits perfectly into a busy sightseeing schedule. You’ll leave feeling like a true urban artist!

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in flexibility and trust. Unlike many other tour operators, you don't need to pay everything upfront. You can book your spot and handle the payment after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before you pay. We accept various payment methods to make the process as smooth as possible for you.
