Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic background. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the nozzle to mastering 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps.' You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive under our friendly expert guidance. It's all about having a go and enjoying the process!
What safety gear do you provide?
We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to keep you safe and your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and old clothes just in case. All our spray paints are selected for their quality, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts painting. We ensure a well-ventilated environment so you can focus entirely on your creative flow.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
Typically, our public art workshops in Chengdu last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to learn and create without getting exhausted from the physical movement of painting.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Our workshops are rain or shine! In Chengdu, we have access to covered or indoor locations where we can set up professional-grade ventilation or use water-based spray paints if necessary. We always have a backup plan to ensure your creative experience isn't dampened by the weather. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your event will never be cancelled last minute!
What should I bring to the workshop?
For our public art programs, we provide everything: a wide variety of spray paint colours, caps, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on (like large canvases or boards). You don't need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm. If you have specific sketches or ideas in mind, feel free to bring them along, but we also provide plenty of inspiration and templates to help you get started.
Is there a minimum age for participants?
While we love working with adults, graffiti is a huge hit with younger creatives too! Generally, our public workshops are suitable for ages 6 and up. We use lighter cans and provide extra supervision for children to ensure they have a blast while staying safe. It’s a fantastic way for families to bond or for kids to express themselves in a totally unique, tactile way.
How do I book and when do I pay?
Booking is simple and stress-free. Contact us via our website to request a quote based on your group size. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You can settle the payment after the workshop once you’ve seen how much fun everyone had. We believe in our experience so much that we focus on your satisfaction first.
