Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops in Rotterdam are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a few tips and tricks from our crew. We focus on having fun and being creative, not on being a perfect artist.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't get paint on your clothes or breathe in any fumes. All our spray cans are low-pressure, making them easier and safer to handle. Our experienced instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session, ensuring a worry-free environment for children and adults alike.

What should I wear to the workshop?

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 gear, including overalls, it's always best to be prepared. Rotterdam can be a bit breezy near the water, so if we are at an outdoor 'Hall of Fame' location, bringing an extra layer is a smart move. Check the weather forecast before you head out!

What is included in the price of a workshop?

The price usually includes the expertise of professional artists, all the high-quality spray paint you can use, protective gear, and a specific surface to paint on (like a wall or a take-home canvas). We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards, so you can just focus on the art. Depending on the package you choose, we can also arrange for drinks or snacks to keep the creative energy flowing.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public workshops in Rotterdam typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local street art scene, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass or a shorter team-building 'taster' session, we can certainly adjust the duration to fit your group's specific needs.

Can you host the workshop at our own location?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various 'Halls of Fame' (legal graffiti walls) across Rotterdam, which offers an authentic street art atmosphere. Alternatively, if you have a private location or an office space with proper ventilation or outdoor access, our 'Graffitibus' can come to you. We'll bring all the equipment and floor protection needed to turn your chosen spot into a temporary urban art studio.

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

Not at all. At Graffitifun, we believe in 'fun first.' We don't require any upfront payments to secure your booking. You can book your preferred date and time, and the payment is only settled after the workshop has taken place and you're 100% happy with the experience. We want the entire process to be as stress-free and enjoyable as the painting itself!
