Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our creative retreat workshops in Biel are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. We focus on the joy of discovery and self-expression rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are truly proud of.

Where in Biel do the retreat workshops take place?

Biel is known for its bilingual flare and artistic spirit, and we find that outdoor sessions at local legal walls offer the most authentic experience. However, we also have access to various indoor creative spaces and studios. If the Swiss weather doesn't cooperate, we have backup plans ready to ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted by a little rain or wind.

How long does a typical graffiti retreat session last?

A standard retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe provides the perfect balance between learning the fundamentals and having enough 'deep work' time to get lost in your creation. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day retreat experience, we can certainly customise the schedule to include longer sessions or multiple mural projects.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We take care of everything so you can focus entirely on your creativity. We provide high-quality spray cans in a vast array of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks. We also provide the canvases or wall space required for the project. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

Total peace of mind is part of the retreat experience. Unlike many other providers, we don't require upfront payments. You can book your date and confirm your workshop, and payment is only handled after the event is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative experience we delivered before any financial transaction takes place.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for all participants?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and professional-grade respiratory protection. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure the environment is well-ventilated. Because we have a team of backup artists, we can guarantee your event will go ahead safely and professionally every time.

The experience

Choosing a graffiti retreat workshop in Biel is about more than just art; it's about a transformative experience in one of Switzerland's most underrated cultural hubs. Here is why our workshops stand out:

Expert mentorship: Learn from seasoned graffiti artists who are passionate about sharing their secrets and helping you grow.
Stress relief: The rhythmic nature of spraying and the focus required for mural art provides a powerful meditative 'flow' state.
Zero risk: With our "no upfront payment" policy, you only pay when you are happy with the results.
All-inclusive gear: We provide professional-grade supplies, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Unique locations: Experience Biel from a different perspective, working in spots that most tourists never see.
Full customisation: We tailor the retreat to your pace, whether you want an energetic afternoon or a contemplative morning.

Step by step

Introductory briefing: You'll start with a warm welcome from our Biel-based artists who will explain the history of street art and the ethos of the retreat.
Design conceptualisation: Before picking up a can, you'll brainstorm ideas and sketch out your vision on paper, focusing on what you want to express.
Safety and technique: We'll show you how to use the equipment safely and demonstrate basic techniques like lines, dots, and fades.
First strokes: You'll move to the wall or canvas to practice your 'can control', getting a feel for the pressure and distance.
Outline and filling: Under our guidance, you'll begin blocking in your main shapes and filling them with vibrant Swiss-quality colours.
Adding character: This is where the retreat gets deep—you'll add highlights, shadows, and those fine details that make the artwork uniquely yours.
Final refinements: Our artists will help you add 'the glow' or clean outlines to give your work a professional, polished finish.
Reflective gallery walk: We conclude by walking through the created works, sharing the stories behind the pieces in a supportive group environment.

Local culture

Biel (or Bienne) is a city defined by its dualities—where German meets French and tradition meets innovation. This unique bilingual culture creates a fertile ground for street art that speaks many languages. From the industrial vibes near the train station to the creative clusters in the old town, Biel has always embraced a slightly edgy, artistic persona. Our retreat workshops tap into this local spirit, often taking place near the Schüss river or in hidden urban corners that reflect the city's 'Watch City' heritage. We don't just teach you to paint; we help you plug into the local Bieler creative pulse, turning the city's concrete surfaces into a personal playground for your imagination.

Pricing

Our graffiti retreat workshops in Biel are designed to be accessible and high-quality. Pricing is flexible based on your specific needs:

Group workshops: Typically range from CHF 40 to CHF 85 per person.
Custom packages: Prices vary depending on the location, duration, and the number of participants.

Because every retreat is unique, we recommend reaching out for a personalised offer. We believe in transparency and quality, which is why we never ask for payment until the workshop is successfully completed.
