Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely not! Our Heraklion workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Most of our tourist guests haven't touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours with the right guidance and a bit of Cretan inspiration! 🎨

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! Think of it as a badge of honour from your creative adventure. If you’re visiting Heraklion in the summer, lightweight clothing under our overalls is the best way to stay cool while you work your magic. ✨

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors or outdoors?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary safety gear, including professional-grade masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits. Our instructors are experienced professionals who will brief you on tool safety before we begin. We use high-quality spray paint and conduct sessions in well-ventilated or outdoor areas to ensure a healthy and fun environment for all our guests in Heraklion. 🛡️

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a larger group or want a more intensive deep-dive into street art culture, we can certainly extend the duration to suit your schedule. It’s the perfect mid-day break from sightseeing! ⏱️

Can I book this for a large group or family?

We love hosting groups! Our workshops are perfect for families, travel squads, or solo travellers looking to meet new people. We can accommodate everything from small private bookings of 2-4 people to large-scale tourist groups of 50+. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one attention and hands-on guidance. The more the merrier when it comes to making art! 🤝

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you certainly can! While we often work on large communal walls for the full 'street' experience, we also offer the option to work on high-quality canvases. This is a fantastic choice for tourists because you can take your original Cretan street art home with you as the ultimate holiday souvenir. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can have the right materials ready for you! 🖼️

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required. You can book your slot in Heraklion and pay after the workshop is finished. We also have a network of backup artists available, so you never have to worry about a cancellation ruining your holiday plans. We're all about making your trip as smooth as possible! 📅
