Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Salto workshops are designed specifically for beginners and curious travellers. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before. It’s all about having fun and expressing your unique style.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We want you to focus on the art, not the mess! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and shoe covers to keep your clothes clean. However, graffiti is a hands-on activity, so we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and trainers that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case. It’s better to be safe and comfortable while you're creating your Salto street art!

How long does the graffiti experience take?

Standard workshops for tourists in Salto typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, technique practice on the 'training wall,' and then completing your final masterpiece. If you're on a tight travel schedule, just let us know, and we can tailor the timing to suit your group's needs without rushing the creative flow.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. All participants are provided with professional-grade high-quality masks and gloves. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and produce less fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces in Salto to ensure everyone breathes easy while they work. Our expert artists supervise the entire session to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

What is your cancellation and payment policy?

We understand that travel plans can change! That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your booking in Salto. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility. We also have a network of backup artists ready to jump in, so your scheduled session will never be cancelled due to staff illness. We’re all about stress-free fun!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you can! Depending on the specific workshop package you choose, you can either paint on a dedicated graffiti wall or on individual canvases. If you choose the canvas option, you’ll have a fantastic, personalized souvenir of your time in Salto to take home with you. It’s a much cooler memento than a standard postcard! Just let us know your preference when you book your session.
