Do I need any previous art experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Bordeaux retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on the joy of creation rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are truly proud of. It is all about having fun and trying something new.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be messy business! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. If we are working outdoors under the Bordeaux sun, bringing a hat and some sunscreen is also a great idea to keep you comfortable throughout the session.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority at Graffitifun. We provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, gloves, and protective suits. Our artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We also ensure our locations in Bordeaux are well-ventilated and spacious, allowing for a creative environment that is both healthy and secure for all participants.

Can we book a private retreat workshop for our group?

Yes, we love hosting private groups! Whether you are planning a wellness retreat, a family reunion, or a creative getaway with friends in Bordeaux, we can tailor the workshop to your needs. Private sessions allow for a more intimate atmosphere and personalised instruction. You can choose the location, the theme of the artwork, and the duration. Just reach out to us for a custom quote for your group.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard graffiti retreat workshops in Bordeaux typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a comprehensive introduction, practice sessions, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience as part of a longer retreat, we can easily extend the duration or spread the workshop over multiple days. Flexibility is key to our service.

Where exactly in Bordeaux do the workshops take place?

We have several 'legal' graffiti spots and creative spaces around Bordeaux where we regularly host workshops. However, we are also fully mobile! If you have a specific venue in mind, such as a retreat centre, a hotel garden, or a private estate in the Gironde region, we can bring the entire setup to you. We simply need a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated area to work.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require an upfront payment. You can book your session and pay after the workshop is completed. This offers maximum flexibility for your retreat planning. If you need to cancel or reschedule, we just ask that you let us know as soon as possible so we can manage our artists' schedules.

Local culture

Bordeaux isn't just about classic architecture and fine wines; it's a city with a beating heart of urban culture. The street art scene here is thriving, particularly in areas like the Darwin Ecosystem on the Right Bank, where old barracks have been transformed into a hub of murals and skate parks. Our workshops tap into this local energy, connecting you with the spirit of modern Bordeaux.

We often host our sessions near the iconic M.U.R de Bordeaux or in the creative pockets of the Chartrons district. By joining us, you aren't just taking a class; you're stepping into a local subculture that celebrates freedom of expression. It’s the perfect way to see a side of the city that most tourists miss, blending the grit of the street with the grace of the Garonne.
