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

Absolutely not! Our Uppsala retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, regardless of your previous artistic experience. It's all about letting go and enjoying the process.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can occasionally be messy. It’s best to avoid your brand-new designer trainers for this activity! Dressing in layers is also a good idea, as the physical activity of painting can warm you up quite quickly.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade protective gear, including FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, nitrile gloves, and full-body overalls. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a fun, secure, and worry-free creative environment for everyone involved.

How long does a creative retreat workshop last?

A typical retreat workshop in Uppsala lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a full immersion experience, including the history of street art, technique practice, and the final creation of your large-scale piece. If you have specific timing requirements or want to integrate the session into a full-day corporate retreat, we can certainly adjust the schedule to fit your needs.

Can you host the workshop at our own venue in Uppsala?

Yes, we do! While we have several fantastic locations around Uppsala, we are fully mobile. If you have a private venue, office courtyard, or a specific event space in mind, we can bring the entire graffiti setup to you. We handle all the logistics, including floor protection and board setups, so you can enjoy a professional street art experience at your chosen location.

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

We believe in the quality of our experiences, so we don't require any upfront payment. You can book your date and confirm the details with us, and payment is only handled after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative retreat before settling the bill. It's part of our commitment to making your experience stress-free.

What is included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, canvases or wooden boards, and all necessary safety equipment. We also bring our expertise, music to set the mood, and a positive energy that ensures everyone has a fantastic time. Just bring your enthusiasm and creativity!

Local culture

Uppsala is a city where history meets modern innovation, and its burgeoning street art scene reflects this dynamic energy. While the city is famous for its stunning Cathedral and historic University, the areas around the Fyrishov and the industrial zones near the railway are becoming canvases for local talent. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, offering a creative outlet in a city that prides itself on knowledge and exploration. 🎨

Fun Fact: Uppsala is home to some of Sweden's oldest graffiti pieces, dating back to the early 80s hip-hop wave, hidden away in some of the city's more industrial corners!

We love bringing the colourful culture of street art to this historic Swedish gem, providing a bridge between the city's traditional roots and the contemporary "vibe" of the streets. Joining us means becoming part of Uppsala's living art history.
