How it works

  1. Arrival and artist intro: Meet your local Maribor artist at the designated street art spot and get a quick intro to the world of graffiti.
  2. Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear, including masks and gloves, while we explain how to handle the spray cans properly.
  3. Mastering the 'cap': Learn about different nozzles (caps) and how they change the thickness and texture of your spray lines.
  4. Sketching your concept: Use chalk or a light spray to outline your design on the wall or canvas, focusing on flow and scale.
  5. The filling technique: Learn how to fill in large areas of colour smoothly without creating drips (unless you want them!).
  6. Outlining and 'cut-backs': Define your edges with sharp outlines to make your piece pop from the background.
  7. Adding the details: This is where the magic happens—add highlights, shadows, and 'bubbles' to give your work 3D depth.
  8. Photo session: Capture your masterpiece with professional-looking photos to show off your new skills on social media.
  9. Final tag: Sign your work with your new graffiti tag name using our digital Tag Creator for inspiration!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely no prior art skills are needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Most of our tourist guests in Maribor have never touched a spray can before. We start with the basics of nozzle control and lines before moving on to filling and shading. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours with our guidance.

Is the workshop safe and will I get paint on my clothes?

We prioritse your safety and comfort. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as disposable overalls and gloves to keep your clothes clean. The workshop is held in a well-ventilated or outdoor area. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, just in case, but our gear is very effective at keeping you tidy!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard workshop for tourists in Maribor typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. It’s the perfect duration to fit into a day of sightseeing without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to explore the Old Vine House afterwards!

How many people do I need to book a workshop?

The minimum group size usually starts at 4-5 people for a private booking, but we can often accommodate smaller groups or solo travellers by merging sessions or adjusting the setup. Because our pricing is tiered based on group size, larger groups of friends or families travelling together often enjoy a lower price per person. Contact us via the cost calculator for a specific quote for your group size.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Slovenian weather can be unpredictable! If we are planned for an outdoor wall and it rains, we usually have indoor backup locations or we can use large wooden boards/canvases in a covered area. Don't worry, we have a 'no-cancellation' policy thanks to our backup artists and flexible locations, so your holiday plans won't be ruined by a bit of rain in Maribor.

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Yes! Depending on the specific workshop package you choose, you can either paint on a professional street art wall (where you'll take home photos of your work) or on high-quality canvases that you can dry and pack in your suitcase. For tourists, the canvas option is incredibly popular as it serves as a unique, handmade souvenir of your time in Slovenia.

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking is easy and flexible. You can request a quote through our website or use our interactive Cost Calculator. We don't require upfront payments for most bookings—you can pay after the workshop once you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods to make it easy for international travellers. Just let us know your preferred date and group size!
