Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned artists. Our professional facilitators in La Serena will guide you through the basics of spray control, lettering, and filling techniques. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create with just a little bit of guidance and the right tools. It is all about the experience and having a blast!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find a way through if you're particularly enthusiastic! Think 'casual and practical' so you can move freely while you work on your mural. Avoid your favourite designer gear just to be safe!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional-grade masks and gloves for all participants. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated, and our team is always on hand to supervise and assist, making it a safe environment for all ages.

How long does the workshop last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final artwork. It’s the perfect length to fit into a day of sightseeing in La Serena without feeling rushed. If you have a specific time constraint, let us know and we can often tailor the session to fit your schedule.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you can! While we often work on large communal walls or boards for the full 'street art' feel, we also offer the option to work on individual canvases. This is a fantastic way to create a unique souvenir of your time in Chile that you can actually take home with you. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can have the right materials ready.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

La Serena usually has beautiful weather, but if it does rain, we've got you covered. We have access to various sheltered or indoor locations where we can spray safely without getting wet. We never want to cancel the fun, so we always have a Plan B ready. Our backup artist system also ensures that your workshop goes ahead even if an instructor is unwell.

Are there minimum or maximum group sizes?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a couple, or a large tour group, we can make it work. For very large groups, we simply bring in more professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and coaching. It’s a brilliant way to bond with fellow travellers while doing something totally unique.
