How it works

The arrival: Meet your pro graffiti tutor at our vibrant La Paz street art spot. We’ll start with a quick intro to the history of urban art.
Gear up: Safety first! We’ll get you suited up in protective gear, masks, and gloves so you stay clean while the walls get colourful.
Master the can: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can. Your tutor will show you how to swap nozzles (caps) for different line thicknesses.
Practice strokes: Head to the practice wall to try your first lines, dots, and fades. It’s all about getting a feel for the pressure and distance.
Concept sketching: Grab some chalk and sketch out your design. Whether it’s a bold tag or a geometric shape, we’ll help you refine the layout.
Filling and fading: Time for the big colours! Learn how to fill in your shapes smoothly and create cool gradient 'fade' effects between shades.
The outline: This is where the magic happens. We’ll teach you how to 'cut' your lines to make your art pop against the background.
Detailing: Add highlights, 3D shadows, or 'bits' to give your piece that professional street art finish.
The big reveal: Step back, snap some photos for the 'gram, and admire your handiwork. You've officially left your mark on La Paz!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic or have previous drawing experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from people who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists lead you through the basics of can control, lines, and shading before you start on your masterpiece. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring you feel confident and creative regardless of your previous art experience. Most of our guests are surprised by what they can achieve in just one session!

Is the graffiti workshop safe and what gear do you provide?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced artists who provide constant supervision and safety briefings before any cans are shaken. We ensure a controlled environment where the only thing you need to worry about is which colour to pick next!

How long does a typical street art session last?

Generally, our public art workshops in La Paz last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale piece. If you are part of a larger corporate group or a festival, we can adapt the timing to fit your schedule. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for staying energised and seeing a project through to completion.

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

We believe in total flexibility and trust! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your La Paz street art experience. You simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. This 'pay later' policy ensures you can book with absolute confidence, knowing that our primary goal is your 100% satisfaction and a morning or afternoon of pure creativity.

What happens if the weather in La Paz is bad on the day?

The high altitude of La Paz means we always have a plan B! While we love working outdoors to capture that authentic street vibe, we have access to covered locations and indoor studios in case of rain or heavy winds. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can reschedule or move to a sheltered spot. Your workshop will go ahead rain or shine, and we always have backup artists ready to hop in.

Can I take my artwork home with me after the session?

Absolutely! While we often work on large collaborative murals, we can also arrange for you to work on individual canvases or boards that you can take home. This is a popular choice for tourists wanting a unique souvenir of their time in Bolivia. Just let us know your preference when booking so we can prepare the right materials for your specific creative vision.

Is there a minimum age requirement for participants?

We welcome creators of almost all ages! Our standard workshops are perfect for kids aged 6 and up, as long as they can hold a spray can. For the very little ones, we have alternative creative tasks. It's a fantastic family activity, and we often see parents and children working together on a single 'family tag'. It’s all about encouraging the next generation of artists in a safe, fun environment.
