Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?
Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Shenzhen workshops are designed specifically for beginners and curious travellers. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from basic can control to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create in just a few hours. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed environment.
Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. However, we do recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case. The paint we use is professional-grade but we ensure the environment is well-ventilated and safe for all participants.
What is the typical group size for a workshop?
For our standard tourist workshops in Shenzhen, we usually host groups ranging from 2 to 20 people to keep the vibe personal. However, we are fully equipped to handle much larger groups for corporate events or festivals. If you are a solo traveller, get in touch and we will see if we can slot you into an existing creative session!
How long does the graffiti experience last?
A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demo of different techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your own artwork. We make sure the pace is energetic and fun so you never feel rushed while making your mark.
How do I pay and do I need to pay upfront?
We are very flexible! You can pay for your workshop after the session is finished. We accept various payment methods, and your booking is confirmed without any upfront costs. This gives you peace of mind while planning your trip to Shenzhen. If you need a specific quote for a large group, just let us know!
What is included in the workshop price?
We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide array of premium spray cans in various colours, various nozzle sizes (caps) for different effects, protective gear like masks and gloves, and a surface to paint on. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a camera to capture the memories!
What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?
Don't worry about the weather! We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations in Shenzhen where we can safely spray regardless of the rain. We always have backup plans and backup artists ready to go, so your creative session will almost never be cancelled due to logistics or weather conditions.
