Do I need any previous art experience to join the festival workshop?

Not at all! Our Nantes street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can techniques and moving on to more complex lettering and shading. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they join us, and they always leave with a piece of art they're proud of!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the surface—whether it's a shared festival wall or individual canvases. Just bring your energy, some comfortable shoes, and your imagination. We recommend wearing old clothes just in case!

Is the workshop safe for kids and adults?

Safety is our number one priority at Graffitifun. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open festival spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun, risk-free environment for all.

Can you host these workshops in other French cities?

Absolutely! We love bringing the street art vibe to festivals across France. While this page focuses on Nantes, we also host incredible workshop experiences in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Toulouse. No matter where your festival is located, our team is ready to travel and set up a creative hub that will keep your visitors engaged and inspired throughout the event.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Nantes can be a bit rainy, but we don't let that stop the fun! If we're at a festival, we usually have marquee setups or undercover areas where the workshop can continue. If the weather is truly extreme, we have a flexible rescheduling policy or can move to an indoor location. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel an event.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Typically, our festival workshops last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final piece. However, for large-scale festivals in Nantes, we can also offer "drop-in" style sessions where guests can contribute to a giant communal mural over several hours or even days. We can tailor the duration to fit your event schedule perfectly.

How do I book a workshop and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can start by using our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate. Once you're ready, reach out to us for a custom quote. The best part? We don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can secure your date and pay after the workshop is complete. We believe in our service so much that we focus on 100% satisfaction first!

Step by step

Introduction & safety: Meet your pro artist and learn how to handle the spray cans safely while wearing your protective gear. ✨
The "tag" basics: Start with the fundamentals of street art—learning how to create your own unique 'tag' or signature.
Mastering the nozzle: Practice different spray techniques, from "fat" lines for filling to "skinny" lines for fine details and outlines.
Concept sketching: Grab a marker or a can and sketch your design onto the wall or canvas, following the artist's guidance. 🎨
Colour filling: Learn the art of "filling in" your piece with vibrant colours, ensuring smooth coverage and bold fades.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! Re-trace your design with a sharp outline to make it "pop" off the surface.
Highlights and shadows: Add the finishing professional touches with highlights to simulate light and 3D shadows for depth. 🏆
Group mural finale: Work together with other festival-goers to connect your pieces into one massive, cohesive street art masterpiece.

Local culture

Nantes is a city that breathes art, from the giant mechanical Elephant at Les Machines de l'Île to the hidden murals in the Bouffay district. The city’s history as an industrial hub has paved the way for a massive street art scene, making it the perfect backdrop for a street art festival. We draw inspiration from local legends and the "Le Voyage à Nantes" trail, which blends art and urban exploration.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nantes is home to the "MURS MURS" project? This initiative has transformed dozens of grey city walls into huge, permanent canvases for international street artists, making the whole city feel like an open-air gallery! 🐘🎨

Pricing
