Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists in Braga will guide you through the basics of line work, filling, and shading. We provide a safe, supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created from scratch.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We suggest wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Comfortable trainers are also a good idea as you'll be on your feet moving around your canvas for most of the two-hour experience in the city.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, as well as disposable gloves and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Braga. Our instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure everyone stays safe and happy.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard public art workshops in Braga usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a quick history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group or individual mural. If you have specific time constraints, we can often tailor the session length to suit your group's schedule.

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

We want your experience to be completely stress-free. That's why we don't require any upfront payment or deposits. You simply book your date and time, enjoy the workshop with our artist, and pay once the session is complete. We believe in the quality of our service, and this 'pay-after' policy ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience.

What happens if it rains on the day?

While we hope for sunny Portuguese skies, we have solid backup plans. If the weather in Braga isn't cooperating, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. Alternatively, we can reschedule the session to a different time or date that works for you at no extra cost. We make sure the rain doesn't stop the art.
