Frequently asked questions

I’ve never done graffiti before; can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Ruse have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists walk you through everything, from basic nozzle control to advanced shading. We focus on fun and creativity rather than technical perfection, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're proud of and memories that last a lifetime.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, masks, and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves! Think comfortable, 'work-style' clothing so you can move around freely while creating your masterpiece.

Where in Ruse does the workshop take place?

Ruse is known for its beautiful architecture, and we want to keep it that way! We usually host our workshops on professional canvases or specially designated legal graffiti zones. This way, you get the authentic street art experience without any of the legal worries, and you might even get to take your work home!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and gloves for every participant. Our spray paints are high-quality and used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our artists are also trained in safety protocols to ensure everyone has a blast without any risks to their health or the environment.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Ruse typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before you finish your final piece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! We have several covered outdoor locations and indoor alternatives in Ruse that allow us to keep painting even if the Bulgarian weather isn't cooperating. Thanks to our backup artist system, we rarely ever cancel—we just move the party to a dry spot!

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in our experience so much that we don't require any payment until the workshop is over. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your creative journey in Ruse. You can pay on-site after you've finished your masterpiece and had a great time with our crew.
