Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at drawing to join?

No artistic talent is required at all! Our Buenos Aires workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold a spray can to layering colours. You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the techniques and create something you're proud of. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed environment.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find a way onto your shoes or sleeves. Think 'casual and practical' so you can move freely while you work on your masterpiece under the bright Argentinian sun.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade masks, gloves, and overalls. We use high-quality spray paint and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor locations or spacious indoor studios. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure everyone follows safety protocols while enjoying the creative process safely and responsibly.

How long does a typical session last?

Usually, our workshops in Buenos Aires last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece without feeling rushed. If you are part of a larger group or booking for a specific event, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule perfectly.

Can we choose our own designs?

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring your own ideas, sketches, or logos. Our artists will help you translate your vision onto the wall or canvas. Whether it is a tribute to your favourite football team or a unique abstract design, we provide the tools and guidance to make your personal street art vision a reality.

What happens if it rains on the day?

In the rare event of heavy rain, we have several options. We can move the workshop to one of our covered or indoor partner locations in neighbourhoods like Palermo or San Telmo. Alternatively, we can reschedule the session to a time that suits you better. We always have backup plans in place to ensure your street art experience isn't ruined by the weather.
