How it works

  1. Warm-Up & Intro: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of street art and the specific history of graffiti in Ecuador.
  2. Safety First: Everyone gets kitted out in protective gear—overalls, gloves, and masks—while we explain the 'rules of the road' for using spray cans.
  3. Cap Basics: Learn the difference between 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps' and how they change the flow of your art.
  4. The First Lines: Students start practicing on their own section of the wall, getting a feel for pressure, distance, and speed.
  5. Design Brainstorm: The group works together to sketch out a theme, whether it’s a tribute to Cuenca or a massive university logo.
  6. Filling & Fading: Our artists show you how to blend colours and create those iconic gradients that make graffiti pop.
  7. Outlining & Detail: The most satisfying part! You’ll add the sharp outlines and 'highlights' that bring the collective piece to life.
  8. The Big Reveal: We step back, take group photos, and admire the massive mural created by the students.
  9. Clean Up & Chill: We handle all the pack-up, leaving nothing but a great memory (and maybe some awesome canvas art to take back to the dorms).

Frequently asked questions

Do students need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned artists. Our professional tutors guide you through every step, from basic can control to intricate detailing. The goal is to have fun, express your university spirit, and learn a new skill in a supportive, high-energy environment. You'll be amazed at what you can create with just a little bit of guidance and some spray paint!

Is the workshop safe for students and the environment?

Safety is our priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and produce less fumes. Additionally, our workshops in Cuenca are always held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large undercover spaces to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all students and staff.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard university workshop in Cuenca usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This includes an introduction to graffiti culture, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your collaborative masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a 'fresher’s week' slot or a shorter afternoon block if you have a tight university timetable. We are flexible and ready to work around your needs!

Where in Cuenca do the workshops take place?

We can come to your campus! If your university has a suitable outdoor wall or a large courtyard, we can set up there using our mobile plastic foil walls. This means no permanent damage to university property. Alternatively, we can help you find a legal graffiti wall within Cuenca to give students a more 'authentic' street art experience. Whatever works best for your student union or department!

How does the payment process work for university groups?

We don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your booking. We believe in our service and want the process to be as stress-free as possible for student treasurers and faculty staff. You simply pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives you total peace of mind and ensures that the focus remains entirely on having a brilliant, creative time!

What should students bring with them on the day?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full-body overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! We also suggest bringing some water and your smartphone to take plenty of photos of your work-in-progress. We’ll handle the rest, including the cans, caps, and expert tuition to keep the vibes high.
