Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti retreat?

Absolutely! Most people who join our Dublin retreat workshops haven't touched a spray can since primary school—if ever. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with the basics of nozzle control and 'tagging' before moving on to 3D effects and shading. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session!

What should I wear for the workshop?

We believe in safety first, so we provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable shoes and 'old' clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case. The paint dries quickly, but graffiti is a hands-on, active process that can get a little messy when the creativity starts flowing!

Where in Dublin do the workshops take place?

Our retreats are fully mobile! We can host the session at one of our partner locations in Dublin's creative hubs like Smithfield or the Liberties. Alternatively, if you have a private space or garden with proper ventilation, we can bring the entire graffiti studio to you. We handle all the setup and cleanup, so you can focus entirely on your creative breakthrough.

How long does a typical retreat session last?

Usually, our Dublin retreat workshops run between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your large-scale piece. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day 'deep dive' experience, we can certainly customise the schedule to include lunch breaks and advanced artistic theory sessions.

What kind of materials do you provide?

We use high-quality, professional-grade spray cans specifically designed for street art. These provide better pressure control and vibrant colours compared to standard hardware store paint. We also provide various 'caps' (nozzles) that allow you to create different line widths, from razor-thin details to wide fills. Everything is included in the price, so you won't need to bring any supplies yourself.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Dublin weather is famous for its 'four seasons in one day' charm! If we are working outdoors, we always have a backup plan. This might include using a covered area or moving the session to an indoor venue with high-spec ventilation. We monitor the forecast closely and stay in touch with you to ensure your retreat isn't dampened by a bit of Irish rain.

Will I get to create my own individual piece of art?

Yes, we do! While the group works on a collective vision, every participant gets their own canvas or section of the wall to express their personal style. It’s the perfect balance between a shared team experience and individual creative exploration. At the end of the day, you’ll have a tangible piece of art—and some fantastic photos—to remember your Dublin retreat by.

Local culture

Dublin is a city that breathes art, from the historic Book of Kells to the modern masterpieces lining the walls of The Bernard Shaw and the Windmill Lane Recording Studios. Our workshops tap into this rich "Dublin DNA," blending traditional Irish storytelling with the raw, energetic edge of modern street art. We celebrate the grittiness of the Northside and the bohemian spirit of the Southside, giving you a truly authentic Dublin experience.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Dublin's "Icon Walk" in Temple Bar was once a series of neglected alleys? Local artists transformed it into an open-air gallery, proving that a bit of paint can change the soul of a neighborhood! 🎨

During your retreat, you might find inspiration in the colorful doors of Georgian Dublin or the vibrant murals of Smithfield. We don't just teach you how to spray; we connect you with the local scene that makes this city one of the most creative hubs in Europe.
