Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior drawing or painting skills to join?

Absolutely no experience is needed! Our workshops in Tartu are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring you feel confident and creative regardless of your artistic background. You’ll be surprised at what you can create in just one session!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, protective gloves, and masks. We also provide professional-grade overalls to keep your clothes clean, though we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Your canvas or designated wall space is also included in the price.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 masks and protective gloves. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for everyone from kids to adults.

What happens if the Estonian weather doesn't cooperate?

Tartu's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor location or one of our indoor partner venues. We also have a large team of backup artists, so even if an instructor is unwell, your creative session will almost always go ahead as planned. We guarantee a fun experience, rain or shine!

How long does the graffiti experience actually take?

A standard tourist workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on time for you to complete your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule in Tartu while still feeling like a deep dive into the local subculture.

Can I book a private workshop for my family or travel group?

We love hosting groups! While we can accommodate solo travellers in join-in sessions (subject to availability), our workshops are perfect for families, groups of friends, or couples. For larger groups, we provide multiple instructors to ensure everyone gets personal attention. Because we don't require upfront payment, it’s even easier to organise your travel group without the stress of immediate deposits.
