Graffiti workshop experience for tourists in Rome

Welcome to the Eternal City, but not as you know it! While the Colosseum is stunning, Rome’s modern spirit lives on its vibrant walls. Our graffiti workshop for tourists offers you a unique chance to step away from the traditional tourist trail and immerse yourself in the edgy, colourful world of Italian street art. Guided by professional Roman graffiti artists, you’ll trade your camera for a spray can and learn the clandestine techniques of the underground scene. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or as a solo explorer, this is your chance to ditch the postcards and create something truly legendary. We provide all the professional gear, a safe environment, and plenty of creative vibes in the heart of Italy. Ready to make your mark? ✨

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Rome are absolute beginners who haven't touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of line work, filling, and shading. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created! We focus on making sure everyone feels confident and has a great time, regardless of their artistic background.🎨

What should I wear to the workshop?

We provide high-quality protective gear including overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes safe. However, spray paint is permanent, and sometimes a little bit of 'character' might find its way onto your shoes or sleeves if you're not careful. We recommend wearing comfortable, old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case.👟

How long does the graffiti session last?

Our graffiti workshops for tourists in Rome typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of your final piece. It's the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing without feeling rushed or exhausted.⏱️

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Yes, safety is our top priority! We use high-quality spray paint and provide masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated or outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced pros who will teach you the correct way to handle the cans safely, making it a fun and secure environment for all ages.🛡️

Do I have to pay in advance?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require any upfront payment for your booking in Rome. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We want your Roman holiday to be stress-free, so we keep our booking process as simple and low-risk as possible!💳

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't stop the art! In Rome, we have access to covered or indoor locations if the Mediterranean weather decides not to cooperate. We always have a backup plan ready so your creative plans won't be ruined by a sudden downpour. If the weather is really extreme, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find a suitable indoor alternative.☁️

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Definitely! If you’d like to keep a memento of your Roman graffiti experience, let us know when booking. We can arrange for you to work on high-quality canvases that you can take home. Alternatively, we take plenty of high-res photos during the session so you can share your street art skills with your friends and family on social media!📸
