How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: Meet your local street artist at our designated creative spot in Patras. We will start with some quick introductions and a look at the history of the local scene.
  2. Safety first: We suit you up in protective gear, including overalls, gloves, and masks. Your safety and comfort are paramount before we touch a single can.
  3. The basics of spray: Learn how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how different nozzles (caps) change the thickness and texture of your lines.
  4. Sketching your vision: Before hitting the wall or canvas, we will help you sketch out your design ideas on paper, focusing on letters, tags, or characters.
  5. Practice session: Head to the practice area to get a feel for the spray. You will learn 'filling', 'fading', and 'outlining' techniques under expert guidance.
  6. Create your masterpiece: Now it's time for the real deal! You'll work on your main piece, applying everything you've learned to create a vibrant work of art.
  7. The finishing touches: Our artists will show you how to add highlights and shadows to make your graffiti 'pop' off the surface for that 3D effect.
  8. Photoshoot and wrap-up: We’ll take professional-style photos of you with your finished artwork—perfect for sharing your Patras adventure on social media!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Not at all! Our Patras workshops are designed for everyone, from people who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, scaling, and layering. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional once you learn the right techniques. It is all about the experience and having a blast with the paint!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you and your clothes safe from spray paint. However, graffiti can be a bit messy, and there is always a tiny risk of a stray drip. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just to be safe. Leave your designer gear at the hotel for this one!

How long does the workshop last?

A standard workshop for tourists in Patras usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, some practice runs, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a larger group or want a more intensive masterclass, we can certainly extend the duration to fit your schedule.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas. Our instructors are professional artists who have years of experience managing groups safely, ensuring everyone has a fun, risk-free creative session under the Greek sun.

Can children join the workshop?

Absolutely! We love hosting families. While we recommend a minimum age of around 6 to 8 years old (so they have the hand strength to press the spray nozzle), we can adapt the session for younger kids too. It is a fantastic way for families to bond and create a unique souvenir of their trip to Patras together. We ensure the environment is friendly and encouraging for all ages.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that travel plans can change. That is why we offer a no-upfront-payment policy for most bookings. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to cancel, we just ask that you let us know as soon as possible so we can manage our artists' schedules. We are all about flexibility and making your holiday stress-free.
