Frequently asked questions
Do I need any previous drawing experience to join?
No prior art skills are needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners. We'll guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to creating your first masterpiece. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with something they are proud of. It’s all about having fun and being creative in a relaxed environment!
What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?
We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, it's street art—and paint can sometimes find its way onto your sleeves or shoes. Think 'casual and practical' so you can focus entirely on your artwork without worrying about your favourite designer outfit!
Is the paint safe and do you provide protective gear?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary safety equipment, including professional-grade respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls. Our spray paints are high-quality and we conduct workshops in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors also give a full safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a secure environment for everyone involved.
How long does the workshop session last?
Our standard tourist workshops in Utrecht usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti history, a tutoring session on techniques, and plenty of time for you to complete your own piece. If you have a larger group or specific requirements, we can adjust the duration to fit your travel itinerary perfectly.
Can I book a workshop if I'm travelling alone or in a small duo?
Absolutely! We love hosting solo travellers, couples, and small groups. While we often have scheduled group sessions you can join, we can also arrange private workshops for smaller parties. It's a fantastic way to meet fellow travellers or enjoy a unique, private creative experience with your partner while exploring the beautiful city of Utrecht.
What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?
Utrecht is beautiful, but the Dutch weather can be unpredictable! Don't worry, we have various indoor locations across the city where we can host the workshop if it rains. If you’ve booked an outdoor session and the weather looks bad, we will coordinate with you to move it to a covered spot so your creative flow isn't interrupted by a few raindrops.
