Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

No experience is needed at all! Our Žilina graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering shading techniques. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours. We focus on fun and creativity rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a smile.

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, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as disposable gloves and aprons. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for all ages.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

Wear comfortable clothing that you aren't too attached to. While we provide protective gear like ponchos and gloves, graffiti can be messy, and stray paint mist can occasionally find its way onto shoes or sleeves. We recommend old sneakers and 'work clothes' so you can fully involve yourself in the creative process without worrying about your favourite outfit getting ruined.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Žilina typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a larger tour group, we can often adjust the timing to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Can the workshop take place at a specific location in Žilina?

Absolutely! While we have fixed spots in Žilina, we are flexible. If you are staying at a specific venue with a suitable outdoor area, or if you'd like to combine the workshop with a visit to a specific landmark, let us know. We aim to make your visit to Slovakia as memorable as possible, so we’ll do our best to accommodate your location requests.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

We understand that travel plans can change. That's why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to cancel or reschedule your Žilina street art experience, just let us know as soon as possible. We have backup artists available to ensure that even if our primary instructor is ill, your creative session still goes ahead!
