Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Ljubljana graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering. We provide a safe, supportive environment where you can experiment without pressure. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can create in just a couple of hours!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Ljubljana is a beautiful city, but rain can happen! We have access to several sheltered street art spots and indoor creative spaces to ensure the fun doesn't stop. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we never cancel due to artist illness either. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we’ll coordinate with you to find the best dry alternative for your group.

Is the spray paint safe and will I get dirty?

Safety is our priority! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't breathe in any fumes. While the paint we use is high-quality, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old trainers just in case a stray drip finds its way onto your shoes. Once the paint dries, it's permanent, so don't wear your favourite designer gear!

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Ljubljana typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, some practice time on the 'training wall', and the final creation of your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule without feeling rushed or exhausted.

Is it legal to spray graffiti in Ljubljana?

Ljubljana is incredibly welcoming to street art! We only operate in designated 'Legal Walls' or private creative zones where graffiti is encouraged. This means you get the authentic experience of painting in the city's urban heart without any legal worries. It’s a great way to learn about the 'rules' of the street art world and where it’s okay to paint.

Can I join the workshop solo or do I need a group?

We love hosting solo travellers! While many of our sessions are booked for groups, we often have open workshops where individuals can join a larger team. It’s a fantastic way to meet fellow travellers while exploring Ljubljana’s creative side. Alternatively, if you have a group of friends or family, we can arrange a private session just for you.
