Frequently asked questions
Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely no experience is required! Most of our guests in Thessaloniki have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to filling and shading. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. Itās all about having fun and being creative!
What is included in the workshop package?
We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective gloves, and masks. We also provide coveralls to protect your clothes, though we still recommend wearing something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. You'll also get a canvas or a dedicated wall space to work on during the session.
Is the graffiti workshop safe?
Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. All workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before we begin, and we provide all necessary protective gear to keep you clean and safe throughout the creative process.
What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?
Thessaloniki is a beautiful city, but the weather can be unpredictable. If it rains, we usually move the workshop to one of our sheltered or indoor locations so the fun doesn't have to stop. If the weather is truly extreme, we can look at rescheduling your session to another time during your holiday. We have backup artists available, so we almost never have to cancel a booking entirely.
How long does the workshop session last?
A standard tourist graffiti workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local scene, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time for you to finish your piece. If you have a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to 3 hours. We keep the pace energetic and engaging!
Do I need to pay in advance to book?
We believe in a 'fun first' policy, which is why we don't require any upfront payment when you book via our website. You can secure your date and time slot, and then pay on the day of the workshop. We accept cash and common digital payment methods. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility while planning your travels through Greece. If your plans change, just let us know!
Can I book a private workshop for my family or friends?
Yes, we love hosting groups! While we can accommodate solo travellers in join-in sessions, the experience is fantastic for families, groups of friends, or couples. We offer tiered pricing, so the more people you bring, the lower the price per person becomes. Itās a brilliant way to bond and create a shared memory of your time in Thessaloniki.
