How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: You'll meet your professional street artist at our designated Thessaloniki creative spot. We’ll start with a quick intro to the local scene.
  2. Safety and gear: We suit you up in protective gear, including gloves and masks, and explain how to use the equipment safely and effectively.
  3. The basics of spray: Learn the 'can-control' basics. Your mentor will show you how to create thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
  4. Sketching your concept: Grab a marker! We’ll help you translate your ideas onto the wall or canvas, planning out the "skeleton" of your piece.
  5. Filling and fading: This is where the colour happens. You’ll learn how to fill large areas and blend colours for that professional 3D look.
  6. Outlining and highlights: The secret to great graffiti is the "cut." You'll learn how to sharpen your edges and add those final "glares" that make the art pop.
  7. The final reveal: Step back and admire the work! We’ll take photos of you and your crew next to your finished Thessaloniki masterpiece.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Thessaloniki workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with a bit of artistic flair. Our professional artists will guide you through every stage, starting with basic spray can control and safety. You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to create something spectacular. We focus on the fun and the technique, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're proud of.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We've got you covered! We provide high-quality spray paint, masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing old trainers and comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Thessaloniki's weather is usually lovely, but we suggest dressing for the outdoors as most of our creative sessions take place in open-air spaces.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in paint fumes, along with nitrile gloves. Our instructors are highly experienced and will give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure cans for better control, making the experience safe and enjoyable for adults and children alike in a controlled environment.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Thessaloniki is a vibrant city, but if the Greek weather decides not to cooperate, we have a network of sheltered locations and indoor spaces to keep the creativity flowing. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists available, meaning your workshop is almost never at risk of cancellation. If the forecast looks truly dire, we’ll work with you to reschedule or find the best possible indoor solution.

How long does a typical session last?

The standard public art experience usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching, practice runs on the wall, and the final production of your masterpiece. If you are part of a larger group or a company event, we can tailor the duration to fit your specific schedule. We never rush the process—quality street art takes a little time!

Do I need to pay upfront to secure my booking?

We believe in a 'fun-first' policy, which is why we don't require any payment before the workshop takes place. You can book your spot, and payment is handled after the session is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. It’s part of our commitment to being the most trustworthy and flexible graffiti workshop provider in Greece.

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams?

We love hosting large groups! Whether it's a school trip, a hen do, or a corporate team-building day, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time on the wall. Thessaloniki offers some fantastic large-scale mural spots that are perfect for big collaborative projects where everyone contributes to one massive piece of art.
