Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art skills to join a workshop in Medellin?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Medellin workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't held a spray can since school to budding artists. Our professional street artists guide you through every single step, from basic nozzle control to complex shading. We focus on fun and expression rather than perfection, so just bring your enthusiasm and we will handle the rest!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for beginners and children?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and safer for beginners. All workshops are supervised by experienced professionals who ensure a safe environment for all ages, making it a worry-free experience for your group or family.

What should I wear to my street art session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, sometimes paint has a way of finding its way onto trainers. It can get warm in the City of Eternal Spring, so light, breathable fabrics are your best bet for a comfortable session under the sun.

Where exactly in Medellin do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations! We can host workshops at vibrant public walls in Comuna 13, private creative studios, or even at your own venue if you have the space and permission. Whether you want to be in the heart of the action or in a quiet courtyard, we will find the perfect spot in Medellin to spark your creativity.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to create a masterpiece. This includes a wide range of professional spray paint colours, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surface you'll be painting on—whether that’s a collective wall or individual canvases. You don't need to bring a single thing except your creative energy!

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Medellin’s weather is usually beautiful, but we always have a plan B. If it looks like rain, we can often move to covered outdoor locations or indoor studio spaces. We also have backup artists available to ensure your booking never gets cancelled last minute. Your creative experience is safe with us, regardless of the Colombian clouds!

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website or use our Cost Calculator for an instant estimate. The best part? We don't require any payment upfront. You can book your date and time, and then pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands.
