Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art skills or experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is needed! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists who want to try something new. Our Plovdiv-based artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced shading techniques. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a little bit of professional guidance. It is all about having fun and being creative!

What should I bring with me to the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the perfect street art experience. This includes high-quality spray cans in various colours, protective gear like gloves and masks, and a dedicated surface to paint on (either a canvas or a legal wall). We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case! We take care of all the logistics so you can focus on the art.

How long does the graffiti workshop last?

The workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. We start with a brief introduction to graffiti history and safety, followed by sketching and practice sessions. The final hour is usually dedicated to creating your main piece. This timeframe is perfect for tourists as it leaves plenty of room in your Plovdiv itinerary to visit the Ancient Theatre or the Roman Stadium later in the afternoon.

Is the spray paint safe for everyone to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal street art zones. Our instructors are professional artists who will teach you the correct way to handle the equipment to ensure a safe, fun, and fume-free environment for everyone involved, regardless of age or fitness level.

What happens if the weather in Plovdiv is bad?

Plovdiv is full of surprises! If it rains, we often have access to covered outdoor spaces or indoor studio settings that allow us to continue the creative flow. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can look at rescheduling your session to another day during your trip. Because we have a team of backup artists, we are very flexible with timing and rarely have to cancel.

Can I book a private workshop for a large group?

Yes, we love hosting groups! Whether you are a small family, a group of friends, or a larger travel troop, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we often bring in additional artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention. It’s a fantastic way to bond with your travel mates while doing something unique that isn't just another museum tour. Group discounts are also available upon request!
