Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely not! Most of our guests in Machala have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who will guide you from your very first 'tag' to a finished piece of art. We provide all the tips and tricks you need to feel like a pro by the end of the session. It's all about having fun and being creative, regardless of your skill level.

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

We prioritize your safety above all else. We provide high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. The paint we use is professional-grade but managed in a safe, outdoor or well-ventilated environment. Our instructors are also trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly, making it a worry-free experience for families and solo travellers alike.

How long does the graffiti session last?

A standard graffiti workshop for tourists in Machala typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, learn the basic techniques, practice your lines, and finally complete your masterpiece on a canvas or a legal wall. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can often adjust the timing to fit your travel plans.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust or paint on—just in case! While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, it’s always better to be safe. Since Machala is the banana capital and can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend during our outdoor sessions.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Weather in Machala can be tropical, but don't worry! We have backup plans and covered locations to ensure the rain doesn't dampen your creativity. If the weather is truly extreme, we have a flexible rescheduling policy or backup artists ready to pivot the experience. Your fun is guaranteed, rain or shine, so you can book with total confidence.

Are the materials included in the price?

Everything is included! Your booking covers the cost of all spray paints in a wide variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the canvas or wall space. You just need to bring your energy and perhaps a camera to capture the process. There are no hidden fees or extra material costs once you arrive.
