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

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to enjoy our Lille school holiday workshops. Our professional instructors are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic spray can control and move on to 'filling' and 'outlining.' Most participants are amazed at what they can create in just one afternoon. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a supportive environment.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be messy business! Please wear closed-toe shoes (no sandals or flip-flops) for safety. Lille's weather can be unpredictable, so if we are working at an outdoor legal wall, bringing a spare hoodie or jacket is a smart move.

Is the paint safe and what safety gear is provided?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and premium water-based or low-solvent paints. Every participant is provided with professional-grade gloves and protective gear. Our workshops take place at authorised locations, ensuring a legal and secure environment. Our artists are also trained in group management to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

How long does a typical holiday workshop last?

Our school holiday workshops in Lille typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides the perfect balance of learning time and hands-on painting. We start with a brief history of the culture, move into technique practice, and spend the final hour or so creating a collective masterpiece or individual canvases. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy session that keeps everyone engaged from start to finish!

What is the minimum age for participants?

The minimum age for our public school holiday workshops is usually 8 years old. This is mainly because the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination to operate effectively. However, for private family bookings or younger groups, we can sometimes adapt the tools used. If you have a specific age range in mind, just let us know and we’ll find the best setup for your group.

Can parents join in with their children?

Yes, we love it when parents and children get creative together! You can either book as a participant to paint alongside the kids or simply stay nearby to watch the magic happen. Many families find that our Lille street art workshops are one of the few holiday activities that truly bridge the generation gap, as everyone finds the process of 'tagging' and 'piece-ing' equally addictive.

Where do the sessions take place in Lille?

While we usually have a set location in Lille (often near the creative hubs or legal walls), we are mobile! If you are hosting a holiday camp or a large group event at your own venue, we can bring the entire graffiti studio to you. We use mobile plastic walls or canvases to ensure your property stays clean while providing an authentic street art experience. Just mention your location when requesting a quote.

Local culture

Lille is a hidden gem in the European street art scene. While many people think of Paris, those in the know head to the Fives and Wazemmes districts of Lille to see incredible murals. Our workshops tap into this local vibration, often taking place near these creative hotspots. 🇫🇷

Fun Fact: Lille hosts the "Biennale d'Art et de Culture," where the city's walls are transformed into a giant open-air gallery. Street art is deeply woven into the fabric of the city!

Participating in a workshop here isn't just about painting; it's about joining a local movement of expression that spans from the historic Vieux-Lille to the modern Euralille district. We bring that authentic "Nord" spirit to every session. ✨
