Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any prior drawing or painting experience?

Not at all! Our Sofia workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and moving up to more complex techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the fundamental 'tricks of the trade' from our experts. It is all about having a blast and trying something new.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the specific workshop package, we also provide the canvases or boards you’ll be painting on. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and adults?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor creative spaces. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment correctly and respectfully within the Sofia urban environment.

What happens if it rains on the day of my Sofia workshop?

Sofia's weather can be a bit unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we can often move the session to one of our sheltered outdoor spots or a cool indoor studio space. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup dates available or can reschedule to ensure you get the best possible experience. We never let a little rain dampen our creative spirit!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard public workshops usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are booking for a larger group or a special event like a bachelor party, we can customise the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

How do I book and is there an upfront payment?

Booking is easy and stress-free with Graffitifun. You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. The best part? We don’t require any upfront payment for most bookings. You can pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned.

Can I book a private workshop for a group of friends or colleagues?

Absolutely! While our public art sessions are great for individuals, we specialise in private groups. Whether you are planning a unique birthday in Sofia, a team-building day, or a bachelor party, we can tailor the session to your needs. We offer various locations around the city and can even come to your venue if it’s suitable for spray painting. Just let us know your group size!
