Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a workshop in Athens?

You don't need any prior experience to join our Athens graffiti workshop! Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control pressure, and create clean lines. Whether you think you're 'not creative' or you're a budding illustrator, we'll guide you step-by-step. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with something they're proud of.

What should I wear for the street art experience?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust or paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy. It's also wise to wear closed-toe shoes rather than sandals, as you'll be standing and moving around the spray zone quite a bit throughout the morning or afternoon.

How long does a typical public art session last?

In Athens, our workshops usually run between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the initial safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice time, and the final creation of your piece. We find this is the perfect amount of time to learn the craft without getting tired, giving you plenty of space to get into the 'flow' of painting like a local pro.

Is the spray paint safe for everyone to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. All workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones. Our instructors are also trained to manage group dynamics, ensuring everyone has enough space to work safely and comfortably.

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

Athens weather is usually fantastic, but if it rains, we have you covered. We often have access to sheltered outdoor locations where we can continue the session. If the weather is really extreme, we can look at rescheduling to a later time or a different day. Because we have multiple backup artists and flexible locations, we almost never have to cancel a session entirely.

Can you accommodate large groups or school classes?

Absolutely! We love hosting larger groups, whether it's for school trips, company team-building, or large family reunions. For groups larger than 15-20 people, we typically bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and coaching. We can scale our workshops to accommodate almost any group size while maintaining a high level of fun and quality.

Is the graffiti we create actually legal?

We focus on using legal, designated 'Hall of Fame' walls and creative spaces throughout Athens. This ensures that you can take your time and learn the art form without any legal worries. It's a great way to contribute to the city's vibrant visual culture in a respectful and sanctioned way. Plus, these spots are chosen for their cool atmosphere and great photo opportunities.
