Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

You do not need any previous drawing or painting experience! Our Guadalajara workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to creative hobbyists. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Most participants are surprised by how much they can achieve in just a single session with us. We provide a supportive and fun environment where making mistakes is actually part of the artistic process.

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything you need for a fantastic day! This includes high quality spray paint cans in a huge variety of vibrant colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the specific workshop package you choose, we also provide the canvases or the dedicated wall space where you will create your masterpiece. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable shoes that you do not mind getting a little bit of dust on.

Are the workshops held indoors or outdoors?

While graffiti is historically an outdoor art form, we have options for every situation. In Guadalajara, we often work at amazing outdoor locations to give you that authentic street art atmosphere. However, we also have access to covered spaces and indoor venues that are well ventilated if the weather is not cooperating or if your specific event requires an indoor setup. We always ensure that the environment is safe and suitable for creative spray painting.

Is spray painting safe for everyone?

Safety is our absolute priority at Graffitifun. We provide high grade respiratory masks and protective gloves for all participants to ensure everyone breathes easy and stays clean. Our instructors are professional artists who are experts in spray paint handling and safety protocols. We also use low pressure cans that are much easier to control, making the experience safe and manageable for children and adults alike. We follow strict guidelines to ensure a worry free creative experience.

Can I book a private workshop for my friends or colleagues?

Absolutely! We love hosting private groups in the city. Whether you are planning a unique birthday celebration, a stag or hen party, or a creative team building day for your office, we can tailor the workshop to suit your needs. We can accommodate various group sizes and can even incorporate specific themes or logos into the session. Private workshops offer a more intimate and personalised experience where your group can bond over the shared joy of creating something bold.

How long does a typical workshop last?

The standard length for our graffiti workshops in Guadalajara is usually between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different spray techniques, and complete a final piece. For larger corporate events or public festivals, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule. We find that this duration is the 'sweet spot' for staying energised and focused while still having enough time to produce a high quality piece of art.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is simple and risk free with us. You can request a quote through our website based on your group size and date. The best part is that we do not require any upfront payment. You can secure your session and only pay after the workshop has been completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about last minute cancellations.
