Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our retreats are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic experience. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex techniques. Most people have never sprayed before, and they leave with a canvas they're genuinely proud of. It's all about letting go and having fun in a supportive, creative environment.🎨

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a legendary day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective suits, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be working on. Just show up in comfortable clothes and shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on—we'll handle the rest!🔥

How long does a typical retreat session last?

A typical creative retreat workshop in Melbourne lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, technique demonstrations, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We can also customise the duration if you have a specific schedule to stick to for your day out in the city.✨

Is the graffiti workshop safe for all participants?

Your safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade protective gear, including respiratory masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our artists are trained to supervise the safe handling of all equipment. We ensure a controlled environment where the only thing you need to worry about is which colour to pick next.💪

Can you host the workshop at our own venue?

Yes, we are very flexible with locations! While we have awesome local spots in Melbourne, we can also bring the retreat to your venue if it has a suitable outdoor area or a very well-ventilated space. We use mobile graffiti walls and protective flooring to ensure no permanent marks are left behind. Just let us know your preference when booking.🎤

How does the payment process work?

We don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your booking. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to feel completely confident when booking your creative escape with Graffitifun.🏆

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Melbourne is famous for its 'four seasons in one day.' If we're outdoors and it rains, we usually have backup undercover locations or we can pivot to an indoor venue. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel a session. We'll work with you to ensure the creative vibes keep flowing regardless of the clouds.☔

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the heart of Melbourne? It’s more than just a painting lesson—it’s a total mental reset. Here’s why our guests love it:

Total creative freedom: Forget the rules of 'fine art.' Here, mistakes are just layers, and every spray is a win. ✨
Proven stress buster: The physical act of spraying is incredibly satisfying and a great way to clear your head.
Bonding like no other: Watch your mates or colleagues reveal their hidden talents in a relaxed, non-competitive environment. 🤝
Takeaway masterpieces: You don't just leave with memories; you take home a canvas that'll look awesome on your wall.
Pro street cred: Learn from actual Melbourne artists who live and breathe this culture every single day. 🎤
Zero risk: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artists, your event is guaranteed to go off without a hitch.

Step by step

The warm-up: We kick off with a quick intro to the history of Melbourne’s iconic street art scene and a safety run-through.
Mastering the tool: Learn how to control the spray can, from adjusting pressure to understanding different 'caps' for various line widths.
Sketching your soul: Head to the canvas to sketch out your initial ideas using light strokes and basic shapes.
Filling the void: Dive into the colour! This is where you learn filling techniques and how to make your piece pop with vibrant hues.
The art of the outline: Clean up your work with sharp outlines. This step transforms your sketch into a professional-looking piece of art.
Adding the 'flare': Our artists show you how to add highlights, shadows, and cool effects like drips or bubbles to give it that authentic street feel.
The final tag: Every artist needs a signature. Create your own personal tag to sign off on your masterpiece.
Group gallery show: Wrap up the retreat by admiring everyone's work, taking photos, and celebrating the creative breakthroughs of the day.

Good to know

We’ve got the logistics sorted so you can focus entirely on the art. Here’s what you need to know about our Melbourne retreat sessions:

Local culture

Melbourne isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing outdoor gallery. From the world-famous bluestone cobbles of Hosier Lane to the hidden gems in Fitzroy and Collingwood, street art is woven into the very fabric of our culture. Our workshops tap into this unique energy, giving you a taste of the rebellious spirit that made Melbourne a global graffiti destination. We don't just teach you to paint; we immerse you in the local 'vibe' that makes our laneways some of the most photographed places on earth. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Melbourne's famous Hosier Lane changes its appearance almost daily? It’s legal for artists to paint there, meaning you could see a masterpiece in the morning that’s been replaced by a whole new world by sunset! 🏙️
