Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not. Our Lima workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours with the right coaching. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We highly recommend wearing older clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint particles can sometimes find their way onto your sleeves or trainers. In the sunny Lima climate, light and breathable fabrics are best, but definitely leave your favorite designer gear back at the hotel for this activity!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional grade masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops take place in well ventilated outdoor or semi outdoor spaces to ensure you are not bothered by fumes. Our artists are also trained in safety protocols to make sure the spray cans are used correctly and everyone has a secure, enjoyable time while painting.

How long does the graffiti experience normally last?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Lima street art, practice different spray techniques, and complete a final masterpiece on your own canvas. We find this is the perfect duration to stay energised and creative without getting too tired under the Peruvian sun.

What is the maximum group size for a session?

We are very flexible! We can host small private groups of two people up to large travel groups of fifty or more. For larger numbers, we simply bring in more of our expert artists to ensure everyone gets individual attention. Whether you are traveling as a couple or a big group of friends, we have the capacity to make it happen.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

One of the best things about our tourist workshops is that you paint on high quality canvases or boards. This means you do not have to leave your art behind on a wall. You can let it dry and take it home with you as the ultimate, hand made souvenir from your time in Peru. It is a brilliant way to remember your Lima trip.
