Graffiti introduction workshop in Lisbon with Francisco Pina, a two-hour hands-on session at 63 euros covering both the theory and practice of graffiti in a dynamic and genuinely enjoyable format. Francisco trained at António Arroio and has five years of painting experience, and his goal is simple: demystify the spray can, teach technique step by step and make sure everyone has fun creating their own piece. Minimum two participants. Spray cans and gloves are all included.
The session opens with a brief introduction to the history of graffiti, how it started and how it has evolved, before moving directly into the practical work. You develop your letter style through sketching, then learn how to use spray cans and other graffiti materials adapted to your objectives, the surface and the time available. Francisco guides you through every stage, from the first sketch to the final spray, with the kind of close and informal instruction that only comes from someone who genuinely lives and breathes the craft.
