Prague: Private Graffiti Workshop offers a fresh and creative way to see the city — through the eyes of its street artists. For around $339 per group (up to four people), you get a two-hour, hands-on workshop led by a professional graffiti artist, Sany, in central Bohemia. This isn’t just a quick spray-and-go; it’s a deep dive into the craft, history, and culture of graffiti, culminating in your own large-scale mural on a legal Prague wall.
What we love most about this experience is the personal touch — you get guidance from a professional artist who shares tips and tricks, making sure even complete beginners can produce something impressive. The second highlight is the chance to understand graffiti’s evolution and cultural significance in Czechia, which adds depth to the fun.
One possible consideration is the weather. Since the workshop involves spray painting outside, dressing comfortably for paint and possibly chilly Czech days is a good idea. Also, for larger groups, you might find the experience divided into smaller sessions with multiple tutors, which is actually a plus for personalized attention but can affect scheduling.
This workshop suits travelers who enjoy creative, hands-on activities, and those interested in street culture. It’s also perfect for families, groups of friends, or team-building exercises looking for something memorable and different from Prague’s more traditional attractions.

A Closer Look at the Experience
When you arrive at the meeting point, a house in central Bohemia, you’ll meet your guide and get ready for an engaging two hours of creative fun. Sany, the professional graffiti artist leading the workshop, has garnered praise for her enthusiasm and patience. She’s not just instructing but genuinely eager to help you develop your ideas and unlock your artistic potential.
The workshop begins with a brief overview of graffiti’s history — from its emergence in the 1960s to its current place in urban culture. You’ll learn about the local specifics of Czech street art and how graffiti fits into Prague’s vibrant street scene. This context adds a layer of appreciation for what might initially seem like just spray paint on walls.
Next, it’s time to brainstorm and sketch out your mural idea. Sany will assist you with shaping your concepts into a workable design, even if you’re a complete novice. We loved the way the guide emphasized control and techniques— from simple lines to shading effects like fades, shines, and shadows — which are explained clearly and demonstrated step by step.
Once your design is ready, the real fun begins. The wall is pre-painted black to give your colors a vibrant backdrop. You’ll then experiment with professional spray cans and various caps (fat, skinny, outline) to achieve different effects. The workshop covers practical techniques such as controlling the spray, creating fills, and shading — all in a supportive environment.
Throughout, the experience is quite versatile. Whether you’re a total beginner or have some painting experience, the focus remains on learning and having fun. Several reviews mention how Sany’s friendly approach makes everyone feel confident, including those who don’t see themselves as artists. “She was very enthusiastic about the art and very helpful,” one reviewer said, echoing that sentiment.
Photographs by Sany, who’s also a professional photographer and filmmaker, capture your progress and final creation. These add a lasting memory of your artistic effort, making it more than just a fleeting moment of fun.
Group size matters — for larger groups, multiple tutors are available, ensuring everyone gets individual attention. This is especially great if you’re organizing a team-building day or a birthday activity.
Finally, the workshop wraps up back at the starting point. Your mural remains on the legal Prague wall, showcasing your work. The entire experience, from the guided introduction to the final photo, creates a well-rounded, memorable activity.
