How it works

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of graffiti culture and a vital safety demo on how to use the equipment properly.
The "Nozzle" masterclass: Learn about the different ‘caps’ or nozzles. You’ll discover how to create thin lines, fat strokes, and soft fades just by changing the plastic tip.
First lines: It’s time to spray! You'll head to the practice wall to get a feel for the pressure of the can and the distance needed to avoid those pesky drips.
Sketching the vision: Our artists help you sketch out a design. Whether it’s a group mural for a community project or your own personal tag, we plan it out first.
Filling and fading: This is where the colour comes in. We’ll teach you how to fill large areas efficiently and how to blend colours together for that iconic "gradient" look.
Outlining and highlights: The secret to making graffiti "pop" is the final outline. We’ll show you how to add sharp edges and white highlights to give your art a 3D effect.
The final reveal: We step back, ditch the masks, and admire the collective masterpiece created right here in the heart of Salto.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops in Salto are designed specifically for beginners. You don't need any prior drawing or painting skills to join in. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold a spray can to creating complex layers. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. It's all about having fun and trying something new!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

We prioritise your safety above all else. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and overalls, to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and our instructors are trained to manage groups safely in outdoor or well-ventilated indoor spaces. Whether we are painting in a public plaza or a private venue, we ensure a controlled and secure environment for all participants.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or trainers! Since Salto can get quite warm, especially near the Daymán hot springs, breathable clothing is a must. If it’s a sunny day, don't forget your sunscreen and a hat, as we often work outdoors.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The standard public art experience usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final collaborative mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific schedule in mind for a festival or corporate event in Salto, we can easily customise the duration to fit your needs. Regardless of the length, we guarantee a high-energy, creative session.

Are all the materials provided in the cost?

Everything is included! When you book a Graffitifun experience, we bring all the professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles) for different line widths, protective gear, and the painting surfaces. Whether we are using large-scale wooden boards, canvases, or a designated public wall, you won't need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm. We handle the setup and the cleanup, so you can focus entirely on the art.

Can children and teenagers join the workshop?

Yes, we love bringing graffiti to younger audiences! Our workshops are suitable for children (usually aged 6 and up) and teenagers. It’s a fantastic way for kids to develop motor skills and express their creativity in a grand, physical way. We use age-appropriate techniques and ensure the safety gear fits properly. It’s a popular choice for school groups and youth festivals across the Salto department.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments for most bookings—you pay after the workshop is complete! Additionally, we have a pool of backup artists available, meaning your event is protected against last-minute cancellations. If the weather in Salto doesn't cooperate for an outdoor session, we usually look for a covered alternative or reschedule to ensure you get the best experience.
