Frequently asked questions
I’ve never done graffiti before, is this workshop suitable for me?
Absolutely! Most of our guests in Riga have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering. We provide a safe, supportive environment where you can experiment, make mistakes, and eventually create something you’re truly proud of. It’s all about having fun and Discovering your inner artist.
What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy. It’s best to leave your favourite designer gear at the hotel and opt for something practical so you can focus entirely on your masterpiece without worrying about a stray paint droplet!
How long does the experience take?
A standard tourist workshop in Riga usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you have a tight travel schedule, just let us know; we can often tailer the timing to fit your itinerary perfectly.
What exactly is included in the price?
Beyond the spray cans and protective gear, we provide professional inspiration! You'll get various caps (nozzles) for different effects, a canvas or designated wall space, and expert coaching. We also include a brief 'history of street art' intro to give your experience some local context. Basically, you just need to bring your enthusiasm and we handle the rest.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Yes, safety is our top priority. we provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with gloves and overalls. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas. Our artists are also trained in safety protocols to ensure everyone has a great time without any risks. It’s a family-friendly activity suitable for most ages.
What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?
Riga's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We have access to fantastic indoor locations and sheltered outdoor spots. Unless there is extreme weather that makes travel unsafe, the workshop will go ahead. We ensure you stay dry and warm while you're getting creative, so a bit of Latvian rain won't dampen our spirits!
Can I book this for a large group or is it just for individuals?
We love hosting groups! Our workshops are perfect for families, groups of friends, or solo travellers looking to meet new people. We can accommodate everything from a private duo session to large groups of 50+ people. The price per person usually drops as your group size increases, so the more the merrier!
