Do I need to be good at drawing to join the retreat?

No artistic talent is required at all! Our professional street artists are here to guide you through every step, from holding the spray can to mastering advanced shading techniques. Most of our retreat participants in Heraklion have never touched a spray can before. We focus on the process and the joy of creation, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It's all about' having a go' and enjoying the Mediterranean vibes.

What should I wear and what equipment is provided?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can be a messy business! Since Heraklion can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. We provide all the professional materials, including premium low-pressure spray cans which are easier for beginners to control and produce less fumes.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or specially equipped areas. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and full-body suits to keep you clean and safe. Our instructors are seasoned professionals who will give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We use lead-free, high-quality paints that comply with all safety regulations for a worry-free experience.

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams?

Absolutely! We love hosting team retreats, corporate groups, and large family gatherings. Heraklion is a fantastic destination for team building, and our retreats can accommodate groups ranging from small intimate circles of 10 to large events of 100+ people. For very large groups, we bring in multiple artists and set up several stations to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on time and personal instruction. Just let us know your numbers!

Where exactly in Heraklion do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible. While we have our preferred creative spots in Heraklion that offer great backdrops, we can also bring the workshop to you! If your retreat is staying at a specific villa, hotel, or resort with suitable outdoor space, our team can set up mobile graffiti walls on-site. We handle all the logistics, setup, and cleanup, making the experience completely seamless for your group's itinerary.

How long does the session typically last?

Our standard creative retreat workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a proper introduction, practice sessions, and the creation of your final masterpiece. However, since this is a retreat, we can customise the duration. Some groups prefer a quick 90-minute 'taster', while others want a full-day immersive street art experience. We work around your schedule to make sure it fits perfectly into your Heraklion holiday.

Local culture

Heraklion is a city where every corner tells a story, from the Venetian walls to the hidden alleyways of the old town. Our retreat workshops tap into this unique "Cretan soul," blending ancient inspiration with modern urban expression. While the city is famous for its history, it also boasts a growing street art scene that reflects the island's resilient and rebellious spirit. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of the earliest forms of "graffiti" can be found in the Minoan ruins around Heraklion? While they used charcoal and minerals instead of spray cans, the human urge to leave a mark in Crete has been around for over 3,500 years!

We often host our sessions in sun-drenched outdoor locations that offer views of the Aegean or the historic city architecture, providing the perfect atmosphere for a creative recharge. It's not just a class; it's a Mediterranean experience. ☀️

Pricing

Our retreat workshops are designed to be accessible and high-quality. Pricing is flexible based on your group size and how deep into the street art world you want to go!
