Why choose us in Porto?

Why settle for a standard walking tour when you can pick up a spray can and create your own souvenir? Here is why our Porto workshop is a must-do:

  • 🔥 Authentic Local Vibes: Learn from real Porto artists who are active in the local scene.
  • 🎨 Guaranteed Fun: Our 100% satisfaction focus means you'll leave with a smile and a masterpiece.
  • 💪 Zero Pressure: No artistic skills? No problem! We make graffiti accessible for everyone.
  • 🏆 Professional Setup: We use top-tier gear and have backup artists ready to go, so your plans are solid.
  • 📸 Perfect Memories: Your photos in front of your own graffiti wall will be the coolest shots of your holiday.

How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: We meet at a vibrant local spot in Porto, where you'll be introduced to your lead artist and the rest of the group.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up! We provide your protective suit, gloves, and a mask so you can focus on the art without worrying about your clothes.
  3. The basics of the can: Learn how to hold a spray can, control the pressure, and understand the different 'caps' (nozzles) used for thick or thin lines.
  4. Sketching your idea: Under the guidance of our pros, you'll sketch out your design on the wall or a canvas, learning about perspective and scale.
  5. Filling and fading: This is where the colour comes in! Master the technique of filling large areas evenly and creating smooth gradients or 'fades'.
  6. Outlining and details: Add the finishing touches. Narrow lines and sharp outlines make your piece pop and give it that professional street art look.
  7. The final reveal: Step back and admire your handiwork! It's the perfect time for a group photo and a 'tag' to sign off your masterpiece.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Porto graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to seasoned artists looking for new tips. Our professional instructors will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving on to filling and shading. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you’ve created on the wall!

What should I bring and what is included?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you clean. Most workshops take place at legal street art spots around Porto, but we can also arrange mobile setups. All you need to bring is your creativity, some comfortable old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on, and your camera!

Is the paint safe and what safety measures are in place?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional-grade protective gear including masks and gloves. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated indoor spaces. Our artists are highly experienced in managing groups and will give a full safety briefing before anyone starts painting, ensuring a fun and secure environment for all.

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

Porto is beautiful in the sun, but we have plans for those occasional rainy days too. If the weather looks like it might dampen our spirits, we often have access to sheltered outdoor spots or indoor creative spaces. If conditions are truly impossible, we offer flexible rescheduling or backup options so your holiday plans stay on track. We'll always communicate with you ahead of time.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing in Ribeira or visiting the Port wine cellars without feeling rushed.

Can you accommodate large groups or private tours?

Absolutely! While we love hosting solo travellers and small families, we also cater to large groups, tour parties, and corporate retreats. For groups larger than 15-20 people, we typically bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and spray time. Just let us know your group size when booking, and we’ll tailor the experience specifically for your needs!
