Do I need to be artistic to join a creative retreat in Leeds?

Absolutely! Our Leeds retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. You don't need any prior artistic experience to create something you'll be proud of. It’s all about the experience, the process, and having a brilliant time with your team or friends in a relaxed environment.

What safety equipment do you provide for the workshop?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained in all safety protocols. We use professional-grade spray paint and ensure that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the entire creative process. Your wellbeing is our top priority while you're getting creative!

How long does a typical graffiti retreat session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We can also customise the duration to fit your specific schedule—whether you want a quick high-energy blast or a deep-dive afternoon of artistic exploration. Just let us know what works best for your group's itinerary in Leeds.

Can you host the workshop at our specific retreat venue?

We are incredibly flexible! For retreats, we can host sessions at our designated street art locations across Leeds, or we can bring the 'mobile graffiti wall' to your chosen venue, hotel, or office garden. If you have a specific spot in mind, let us know, and we will check the logistics. As long as there is enough space and ventilation, we can make the magic happen almost anywhere.

What should we wear to our Leeds graffiti retreat?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. Even though we provide full protective overalls, it's best to leave the designer gear at home! Since some of our best Leeds locations are outdoors or semi-covered, please check the weather forecast and bring an extra layer if it’s a chilly Yorkshire day. We’ll provide everything else you need to get painting.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Yes, we do! If you’d like to take your artwork home, we can arrange for the workshop to be done on individual high-quality canvases or wooden panels. Alternatively, many groups love the collaborative 'big wall' experience where everyone contributes to one massive mural. Just tell us your preference when booking, and we’ll make sure you have the right materials to immortalise your Leeds retreat experience.
