Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?
Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners from scratch. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can and control the pressure—before moving on to more complex techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before joining us!
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of vibrant colours, protective clothing (high-quality overalls and gloves), and high-quality masks to ensure you don't breathe in fumes. We also provide the canvas or surface you'll be painting on. Just bring yourself and some shoes you don't mind getting a bit dusty!
What happens if it rains during our booked session?
Paris is beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable. Don't worry, though—we have several covered and indoor locations across the city where we can host the workshop. If you've booked an outdoor session and it looks like rain, we'll coordinate with you to move to a dry spot or adjust the timing. Your creative flow won't be dampened by a few raindrops!
How long does the graffiti experience typically last?
Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us perfect timing to cover the history of Parisian street art, learn the technical skills, and finish your final piece without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a more intensive Masterclass, we can extend the session to 3 hours. It's the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing itinerary.
Is the workshop safe for children and families?
Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and provide professional-grade filtered masks for every participant. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also use high-quality disposable overalls and gloves to keep your holiday clothes clean. It is a very safe, structured environment suitable for ages 6 to 106!
How does the payment process work?
We believe in flexibility! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your workshop. Benefit from our 'pay after the workshop' policy, which ensures you are 100% happy with the experience before settling the bill. We accept various payment methods on the day, making it easy and stress-free for international travellers visiting Paris.
Where exactly in Paris do the workshops take place?
We have several 'hall of fame' spots and legal walls across Paris, primarily in the 13th, 19th, and 20th arrondissements. Once you book, we'll send you the exact location details. These spots are chosen for their authentic atmosphere and vibrant local street art scene, giving you a true taste of the Parisian underground art culture away from the typical tourist traps.
