Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Patras have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, including safety, nozzle control, and simple lines. We provide all the protective gear and guidance you need to feel confident. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created from scratch. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can occasionally be messy. If it’s a sunny Patras day, don’t forget some sunscreen and a hat since we often work in vibrant outdoor spaces. We provide everything else, from the paint to the canvases!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard public art session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice different spray techniques, and complete a final group or individual project. If you have a specific schedule in mind for a festival or event in Patras, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with gloves and protective suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced pros who supervise the group closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are very flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller, a small group of friends, or a massive corporate team, we can accommodate you. For larger groups in Patras, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of 1-on-1 attention. No group is too big or too small for a Graffitifun session—we love the energy of a crowd!

What happens if it rains on the day?

If the weather isn't looking great, don't worry! We often have access to covered outdoor spots or high-ceiling indoor creative spaces in Patras where we can keep the paint flowing without getting soaked. We also have backup artists on standby for every booking, so we almost never cancel. Your creative plans are safe with us, come rain or shine!

Do I need to pay in advance?

Unlike many other activities, we don't require upfront payments at the time of booking. You can secure your date and then pay after the workshop concludes. We believe in the quality of our experience and want you to be 100% satisfied before we settle up. This makes it super easy to organise group events without the stress of collecting money in advance!
