Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Porto graffiti workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from how to hold a spray can to advanced layering techniques. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you've never picked up a can before.

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

We take safety seriously while keeping things fun. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to protect your clothing. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring that everyone knows how to use the equipment responsibly while enjoying the creative process in the heart of Porto.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public art workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for learning the basics, practicing your 'tag', and completing a full-scale piece of art. If you are part of a larger group or a company event, we can adjust the duration to fit your schedule. We ensure every minute is packed with creativity, from the initial sketch to the final spray-painted flourishes.

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our public workshops in Porto, the minimum age is generally 6 years old. Street art is a fantastic way for kids to develop motor skills and confidence! We use lighter cans for younger participants to make it easier for them to spray. It’s a popular choice for families looking for a unique activity that isn't just another museum tour. We love seeing different generations painting together!

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in a 'fun first' policy, so we don't require any upfront payments. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. This gives you peace of mind and ensures that we are 100% committed to delivering an incredible experience. We accept various payment methods on-site. If you need a formal invoice for a corporate event or school group, just let us know in advance.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Porto’s weather can be a bit unpredictable, but the art never stops! We have access to several covered locations across the city that allow us to paint even if it’s raining. If the weather is truly extreme, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find an alternative indoor solution. Our backup artist system also ensures that your workshop goes ahead as planned, regardless of individual staff illness or emergencies.

How much does a workshop cost?

The price usually ranges between €20 and €45 per person. This varies based on the size of your group, the specific location in Porto, and the duration of the workshop. For large groups, schools, or festivals, we offer tiered pricing. To get the best possible rate for your specific needs, we always recommend reaching out for a custom quote via our website or cost calculator tool.
