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

Absolutely! Our retreats are designed for everyone, from those who haven't held a pen in years to seasoned doodles. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving to shading techniques. The goal is to relax and express yourself, not to create a masterpiece on day one (though you'll be surprised at how good your work looks!).

What equipment is provided during the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This include high-quality low-pressure spray cans (which are easier to control), protective overalls, gloves, and high-spec respiratory masks. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and all the sketching materials. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

Safety is our number one priority. We use professional-grade protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and we use high-quality paint that meets safety standards. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can to ensure a worry-free environment for all participants.

Where in Hangzhou do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations! We can host the retreat at one of our partner creative spaces in Hangzhou, or if you have a specific venue or office garden in mind, we can bring the 'mobile graffiti wall' to you. We'll just need to check the ventilation and space requirements beforehand to ensure everything runs smoothly.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor retreat?

Our retreats are designed to be weather-resilient. If we are planned for an outdoor session and the heavens open, we usually have indoor alternatives or marquees ready to go. We also use quick-dry paints. We always have a backup plan in place so your creative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of typical Hangzhou mist or rain.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

Our retreat workshops are highly customisable. While a standard session lasts around 2 to 3 hours, full-day creative immersions are very popular for corporate teams. This allows for deeper brainstorming, larger-scale murals, and a more relaxed pace. We can tailor the schedule to fit your specific goals, whether it's team bonding or a personal creative reset.

How do I book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website with your group size and preferred date. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead.

The experience

Stress-busting creativity: Spraying paint on a large scale is incredibly therapeutic and a perfect way to clear your mind. 🧠
Expert guidance: Our professional graffiti artists are not just painters; they are mentors who help you unlock your hidden talent. 🏆
Zero pressure: Forget "fine art" rules. In the world of street art, your style is the right style. It’s all about the experience!
Unique bonding: Perfect for friends or colleagues—creating a large-scale mural together builds connections like nothing else. 🤝
Total flexibility: We come to you or host you at our spots. Your time, your schedule, your vibe.
Insta-worthy results: Leave with a physical canvas or a memory of a massive mural that looks absolutely stunning. 📸

Step by step

Warm-up & inspiration: We start with a relaxed introduction to street art history and a walkthrough of the day's creative goals.
Sketching the vision: Grab a marker and paper! You'll brainstorm your ideas and sketch out your basic design with help from our pros.
Safety & gear up: Suit up in your protective gear. We'll show you how to use the masks and cans safely and effectively.
Can control basics: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can. Practice making thin lines, fat dots, and smooth gradients on a practice surface.
Outline your masterpiece: It’s time to hit the wall or canvas! You'll start by mapping out the skeletal structure of your artwork.
Fill & colour: This is the soul-soothing part. Fill in your shapes with vibrant colours and watch your piece come to life.
Adding the 'pop': We'll teach you how to add highlights, shadows, and that classic sharp 'outer' line that makes graffiti stand out.
The grand reveal: Step back, enjoy the view, and take some epic photos with your finished work of art.
Reflect & unwind: We wrap up the retreat with a group reflection on the creative process and the 'flow' state you achieved.

Good to know

Duration: 2 to 4 hours is standard, but full-day immersion retreats are available for those wanting a deeper dive.
Group sizes: Whether it's an intimate group of 5 or a massive corporate event for 200+, we scale to fit your needs.
What's included: All spray cans, gloves, masks, overalls, canvases, and professional artist tuition.
Locations: We can use our dedicated Hangzhou spaces, or we'll bring the entire setup to your location (indoor or outdoor).
Safety first: High-spec FFP3 masks and eco-friendly paint options ensure a safe environment for everyone.

Local culture

Hangzhou is a city of incredible contrasts, from the serene, mist-covered West Lake to the bustling tech hubs of Binjiang. This unique atmosphere makes it the perfect backdrop for a creative retreat. While Hangzhou is famous for its traditional silk and tea culture, there is a growing, sophisticated street art scene emerging in its creative districts and art academies. Our workshops bridge these two worlds, allowing you to channel the tranquillity of a Longjing tea garden into a bold, modern masterpiece.

Fun Fact: Hangzhou is home to the China Academy of Art, one of the most prestigious art schools in the world, which helps fuel the city's hidden but vibrant underground mural scene!

We often draw inspiration from the city's natural beauty, encouraging participants to blend organic shapes with urban styles. It's not just about painting a wall; it's about connecting with the creative pulse of one of China's most beautiful cities. 🎨

Our retreat workshops are bespoke experiences tailored to your group's size, location, and specific goals. Because every session is unique, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Whether you want a quick creative blast or a luxury full-day retreat, we can make it happen.
