Do I need to be 'artistic' to join the workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of can control, move on to lettering, and help you develop your own style. The retreat atmosphere is all about exploration and having fun with the medium, so whether you're a seasoned doodler or haven't held a brush since school, you'll leave with a piece of art you're proud of.

What should I wear for the graffiti retreat?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or stained. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit unpredictable! Better to leave those brand-new designer trainers at home and opt for something practical. We’ll provide everything else, including masks and safety gear, so you can focus entirely on the creative process.

How long does the creative session last?

Standard workshops in Västerås usually run between 2 and 3 hours. However, because this is a retreat-style experience, we can extend the session to include more collaborative projects or longer design phases. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to learn the techniques and complete a masterpiece without feeling rushed or physically exhausted from spraying.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor locations. Our artists are trained professionals who oversee every step of the process, ensuring that everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a fantastic time making art.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

Yes! We have a 'no stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay everything upfront; you can settle the balance after the workshop has taken place. This ensures you are 100% happy with the service we provide. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure that your event goes ahead even if your primary instructor is unavailable. Your creative peace of mind is guaranteed!

Can you host the workshop at our specific location?

We are very flexible! We can host the retreat at one of our partnered street art locations in Västerås or, if you have a suitable private outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area, we can come to you. Our team brings all the mobile boards, paints, and protective gear required to turn almost any location into a temporary street art studio for your group.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the heart of Västmanland? It’s the perfect way to recharge your mental batteries while learning a brand-new skill. Here’s why our workshops stand out:

Total creative freedom: Forget the rules! We encourage you to express yourself exactly how you want. ✨
Pro-artist guidance: You’ll be mentored by active graffiti artists who live and breathe this culture.
Stress-free booking: No upfront payment required; we trust our customers as much as we love our art.
Perfect for all levels: Seriously! You don’t need to be 'good at drawing' to make incredible street art. 🏆
Holistic fun: It’s not just about painting; it’s about the music, the vibes, and the social connection.
Social-ready results: Leave with epic photos and a sense of accomplishment that lasts long after the paint dries.

Step by step

Design briefing: We kick things off with an inspirational deep-dive into street art history and a brainstorming session to find your group's unique theme.
Sketching the vision: Grab your markers and paper! We’ll help you translate those big ideas into a workable sketch before we touch the cans.
Mastering the tools: Our pro artists show you the ropes—learning how different nozzles (caps) create different lines and textures.
Outline and fill: Time to hit the wall or canvas. You'll start with the base shapes and fill them in with vibrant, high-pressure colours.
The 'cut-in' technique: We’ll teach you how to sharpen your edges and make your graffiti look professional by cleaning up the lines.
Can control & shading: Add depth to your artwork with 3D effects, shadows, and cool gradients that make the designs pop.
Final highlights: The finishing touches! Use white or bright accents to give your piece that final 'sparkle' and professional finish.
Group gallery view: We step back to admire the collective work, take photos, and share feedback in a supportive, fun atmosphere.
Takeaway art: Depending on the setup, you'll get to keep your individual canvases or take home some epic photos of your large-scale mural.

Good to know

Duration: Standard sessions last 2–3 hours, but we can customise the length for a full-day retreat experience.
Group size: We welcome everything from small private groups of 5 to large-scale events for 100+ participants.
What's included: Professional spray paint, high-quality caps, protective overalls, gloves, masks, and canvases (or mobile walls).
Safety first: Our artists are safety-certified and we use professional-grade respiratory protection for all participants. 🛡️
Backup guarantee: We always have artists on standby so your retreat never gets cancelled last minute.

Local culture

Västerås might be known for its industrial heritage and stunning lakeside views, but beneath the surface, there's a growing appreciation for urban expression. While larger cities like Stockholm or Uppsala have established scenes, Västerås offers a more intimate setting for a creative retreat. Our workshops often take place near the vibrant industrial areas or close to the water, reflecting the city’s unique blend of old and new. 🏗️

Fun Fact: Did you know Västerås is one of the oldest cities in Sweden? It’s been a hub of activity since the Viking Age. Today, we're bringing a modern twist to that long history of craftsmanship through the lens of urban spray art!

Pricing

We believe that high-quality creative experiences should be accessible. Our retreat workshops are priced competitively to ensure you get the best equipment and the most skilled instructors.

Group sessions: Starting from 300 kr to 650 kr per person.
Custom packages: Pricing varies based on the number of participants, location, and specific workshop duration.

Because every retreat is unique, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a massive brand event, we'll tailor the cost to your needs. 💰
