Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a Sydney workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Sydney workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety before moving on to creating your piece. Most of our tourist guests haven't touched a spray can before, and they always leave with something they're proud of. It's all about having a go and enjoying the sunny Sydney vibes.

What should I wear and what is included?

We've got you covered! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case. Sydney can get warm, so breathable clothing is a great idea. We provide all the professional-grade spray cans, caps, and canvases you'll need to create your masterpiece.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop usually runs for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, some practice time, and then the final creation of your own street art piece. It's the perfect amount of time to fit into a busy Sydney sightseeing itinerary, leaving you with the rest of the day to explore nearby spots like Newtown or the CBD.

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas. Our instructors are professional artists who are experts in handling the materials safely, ensuring a fun and secure environment for everyone to explore their creativity without any worries. Not even the Sydney wind will stop us!

Can I take my artwork back to my hotel?

One of the best parts about our Sydney workshops for tourists is that you get to take your creation home! We usually work on high-quality canvases or boards that are easy to carry. If you are travelling internationally, let us know, and we can help you pack it or suggest the best ways to transport your new Aussie souvenir back home. It's a much better memento than a generic postcard!

Can I book this for a large travel group?

We love hosting groups! Whether you're a couple, a family, or a large group of mates travelling together, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we often bring in additional artists to ensure everyone gets enough personal attention and tips. We even offer special rates for bigger squads. Just let us know your group size when you book, and we'll tailor the Sydney experience specifically for your team.
