How it works

  2. Safety first: Get geared up with our protective ponchos and gloves to keep your travel outfit looking fresh.
  3. The basics: Learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and master the "caps" for different line thicknesses.
  4. Sketching your idea: Work with your mentor to outline your design on the canvas or wall using light paint layers.
  5. Fill-in techniques: Discover how to apply smooth, even coats of colour to make your piece pop.
  6. The outline: Master the art of the 'outer'—the crisp lines that give your graffiti its professional structure.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex tagging and shading techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the skills needed to create something you’re proud of. It's all about having fun and expressing your personality through art! 🎨

What should I wear to my Toronto graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy. While we provide high-quality protective gear like ponchos and gloves, graffiti art can sometimes be unpredictable! Think 'outdoor casual'—sneakers are much better than flip-flops or heels for moving around the canvas. Depending on the season in Toronto, bring an extra layer as many of our best spots are in semi-outdoor or well-ventilated urban spaces. 👕

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective equipment, including professional-grade gloves and specialized ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We use high-quality spray paints in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy while they work. Our artist instructors are also trained to supervise the session closely, making sure all equipment is used correctly and safely throughout the entire creative process. 🛡️

How long does the workshop usually last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Toronto typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, a demo of various techniques, and hands-on practice before you create your final masterpiece. If you're looking for a more intensive deep-dive into street art culture, we can often extend the session—just let us know when you're booking! ⏱️

Are materials included in the price?

Everything is included! Your booking covers the cost of all premium spray paint cans (in a huge variety of vibrant colours), protective gear, and the surfaces we'll be painting on. You also get the expert guidance of a local Toronto street artist who will share their tips and tricks. There are no hidden fees or extra costs for materials—just bring your energy and creativity! ✨

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Toronto weather can be a bit 'extra' sometimes! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across the city to ensure the fun doesn't stop just because of a little rain or snow. If the weather looks truly uncooperative, we’ll work with you to reschedule or move to one of our backup indoor creative hubs. Your experience and comfort are important to us! 🌧️

Can I book a private session for my travel group?

Yes, we specialize in groups! Whether you're a duo of travellers or a large group of friends exploring the 6ix, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets personalized attention. If you're traveling solo, get in touch—we often have open sessions you can join to meet fellow art-loving travellers! 🤝
