How it works

  1. The warm-up: We start with a brief history of Faro's street art scene and an introduction to our professional artists.
  2. Safety first: Everyone gets geared up in protective overalls, masks, and gloves while we explain the "rules of the wall."
  3. Can control: You'll learn the fundamentals—how to hold the can, swap caps, and manage pressure for thin lines or fat fills.
  4. Concept sketching: Whether it's a university logo or a collective message, the group helps sketch the master design on the wall.
  5. Colour Theory: Our artists guide you through choosing complementary colours to make your piece pop against the Faro sun.
  6. The filling stage: This is where the magic happens! Everyone grabs a can and starts bringing the design to life with vibrant fills.
  7. Outlining & Detail: Learn the professional "cut-back" technique to sharpen your edges and add those crisp final touches.
  8. The Reveal: Step back and admire the massive piece of art your university society or faculty has created together.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to participate? house?

Absolutely! Our Faro university workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists start with a safety briefing and basic spraying techniques, such as how to control pressure and distance. We guide everyone through the process of sketching, filling, and outlining. You'll be amazed at the high-quality mural the group can produce by the end of the session, regardless of prior art experience.

What safety measures and gear are provided?

We take safety very seriously. Every student is provided with high-quality FFP2 respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothing clean. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in a controlled, supervised environment. We also conduct a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can to ensure a fun, accident-free experience for the entire university group.

How long does a typical university graffiti session last?

The standard university workshop in Faro typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This includes the introductory talk, technique practice, and the final creation of a collaborative mural or individual canvases. We can also tailor the duration to fit into your specific campus event schedule or orientation week timetable. Just let us know your time constraints and we will make it work!

Where in Faro do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at various vibrant outdoor locations around Faro that allow for street art, or we can bring the experience directly to your university campus. We use mobile graffiti walls or large canvases that can be set up in courtyards or sports fields. We handle all the logistics and cleanup, making it a hassle-free addition to your student event.

Are the spray cans the same ones used by professional artists?

Yes, they are! We use professional spray cans with various "caps" that allow for different line widths and effects. The paint is permanent and weather-resistant, which is why we provide full protective gear. It's the real deal—the same tools used by famous street artists globally—ensuring your university group gets an authentic and gritty street art experience right here in the Algarve.

What is your booking and payment policy for student groups?

We believe in a stress-free booking process for student organisations. There is no upfront payment required to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We also have a network of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event is guaranteed to go ahead as planned. Fun and reliability are our top priorities!
