Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?

Absolutely not! Most of our guests in Riga have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex patterns and filling techniques. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and stylish. We are all about building confidence through creativity!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. The paint we use is professional-grade but safe when used with the provided gear. Our Riga workshops are always held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor locations. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone has a fun, accident-free experience.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective suits and gloves, street art can be a messy business. In Riga, it's always good to check the weather forecast; wear layers if we are painting outdoors so you stay comfortable throughout the session. Don't worry, the gear we provide covers most of your outfit!

How long does a typical session last?

Typically, a public art workshop in Riga lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching your designs, learning the technical skills, and completing your masterpiece. We never rush the creative process, ensuring you have plenty of time to refine your 'tag' and fill in your piece with vibrant colours. It’s the perfect length for a morning or afternoon activity.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We host small groups for a more intimate experience, but we can also manage large-scale events for dozens of people at once. Whether you are a small group of friends or a large company team-building in Latvia, we have the staff and materials to accommodate you. For very large groups, we often bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention.

Where in Riga do the workshops take place?

In Riga, we have several dedicated street art locations and 'legal walls' where we operate. However, we are also mobile! If you have a specific venue in mind—like a school playground, a festival site, or a private courtyard—we can bring the workshop to you. We just need a well-ventilated space and permission to paint. We'll handle the logistics of getting all the cans and gear to your chosen spot.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surface you’ll be painting on (such as canvases or large wooden boards). You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some inspiration! We even offer a digital Tag Creator tool to help you practice before you arrive.
