I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants in Beijing have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and safety before moving on to the creative stuff. You will be amazed at how much you can achieve in just one session!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, a stray mist of paint can sometimes find its way onto your trainers. It is all part of the authentic street art experience, but better safe than sorry!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our artists manage the environment to ensure proper ventilation and space. We follow strict safety protocols so you can focus entirely on your artistic flow without any worries.

Where in Beijing do the workshops take place?

We offer total flexibility! We have several cool outdoor and indoor locations around Beijing, particularly near art districts like 798. Alternatively, if you have a specific venue in mind—like a hotel courtyard or a corporate garden—we can bring the mobile graffiti wall to you. We handle all the setup and floor protection.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

Our standard creative retreat sessions usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, individual sketching, and the final grand creation. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day retreat experience, we can easily customise the schedule to fit your needs.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Nature doesn't always play ball! If we have booked an outdoor session and the Beijing weather turns sour, we have backup indoor locations ready to go. Because we have multiple artists available, we almost never cancel a session. We will ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of rain.

Can we take our artwork home with us?

Of course! Depending on the retreat package you choose, you can either work on a large communal wall for that 'team spirit' vibe, or create your own individual masterpiece on a high-quality canvas. Our canvas sessions are very popular because you get a unique piece of Beijing street art to hang in your office or home.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the heart of China? It is about more than just paint—it is about perspective. Beijing is a city of layers, and we help you add your own. Here is why our workshops stand out:

Boost team morale: Break down hierarchies and encourage collaboration through a shared, hands-on creative goal. 🤝
Stress relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of vibrant colours. 🧘
Expert guidance: Our artists aren't just pros; they are passionate mentors who live and breathe the culture. 🎤
Zero stress booking: With our backup artist policy and no upfront payment, your event is in safe hands. 💪
Unique souvenirs: Create something tangible that represents your time in Beijing—much better than a standard keychain! 🎨
Sustainable fun: We use high-quality materials and ensure a clean, professional setup every single time. ✨

Step by step

Arrival and welcome: Meet your pro artist at our vibrant Beijing studio or your chosen venue. We kick things off with a quick intro to the world of street art.
Safety first: We suit you up in protective gear and explain how to use the equipment safely while respecting the local environment.
The tag creator: Learn the basics of lettering. We will help you develop your own 'tag' or signature style using professional techniques.
Can control: This is where the fun starts! You will practice different nozzles (caps) to understand how to make thick lines, thin lines, and fades.
Sketching the vision: Before hitting the big wall, you will sketch out your ideas on paper, guided by our artists to ensure a balanced composition.
Filling and fading: Learn how to fill in your letters smoothly and create those iconic 'colour melts' that make graffiti pop.
Outlining and highlights: Add the finishing touches! Sharpen your edges and add 'shines' to give your piece that professional 3D look.
The big reveal: Step back and admire the collective masterpiece or your individual canvas. It is the perfect time for a group photo!
Wrap up: We handle the cleanup. You leave with new skills, a clear mind, and maybe even your own custom canvas.

Good to know

Duration: Standard sessions run for 2-3 hours. Full-day retreat intensives are available upon request. ✨
Group sizes: We cater to everything from intimate groups of 5 to large-scale events for 100+ participants.
What's included: All premium spray paints, protective overalls, gloves, masks, and canvases (if selected). 🏆

Safety: Lead by professional artists with full safety briefings and high-quality respiratory protection provided. 🔥

Local culture

Beijing’s street art scene is a fascinating blend of ancient tradition and ultra-modern rebellion. While the city is famous for its hutongs and palaces, places like the 798 Art Zone have become global hubs for contemporary expression. During your retreat, you will feel the pulse of this creative evolution, drawing inspiration from the city's unique architectural contrast between sleek skyscrapers and historic walls.

Fun fact: Did you know that some of Beijing's earliest modern street art appeared in the late 90s near the university districts? Today, the city hosts some of the most intricate 'legal' walls in Asia, where traditional Chinese calligraphy often meets Western-style wildstyle graffiti!
