Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Most people who join us in Saint Petersburg haven't touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will break down the techniques step-by-step, ensuring you feel confident and capable. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can produce in just a couple of hours with the right guidance. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

Wear something you don't mind getting a little messy! While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, stray paint can sometimes find a way onto shoes or sleeves. Think comfortable, casual clothes and closed-toe shoes. We’ll take care of the rest, including all the professional-grade spray cans and safety gear you need to create your masterpiece safely and comfortably in the Saint Petersburg creative atmosphere.

How long does the graffiti experience take?

The standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic can control, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. If you’re on a tight sightseeing schedule in Saint Petersburg, let us know – we can often adapt the duration to fit your itinerary without compromising the fun or the final result!

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade protective masks, gloves, and overalls to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and we use high-quality spray paint. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before anyone touches a can. We ensure a controlled, safe environment so you can focus entirely on your artistic expression and having a brilliant time.

What is the typical group size?

We typically host groups of 5 to 20 people to keep the experience personal, but we can accommodate much larger groups for special events or school trips. If you’re a solo traveller or a couple, get in touch – we often have open sessions you can join. Saint Petersburg is a city of connection, and our workshops are a fantastic way to meet fellow travellers while creating something truly unique together.

What happens if it rains on the day?

The weather in Saint Petersburg can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! We have access to various covered and indoor locations across the city where we can spray safely. If the weather is truly miserable and an outdoor session was planned, we can usually pivot to one of our indoor professional studios. You won't have to worry about your creative plans being washed away by a bit of rain!

How do I book and is there an upfront payment?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote via our website based on your group size. One of the best parts about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments – you can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your trip.
