Where in Lille do the workshops take place?

Lille's graffiti scene is incredibly welcoming! While there are famous spots like the 'Murs de la rue des Postes', we usually host our tourist workshops at dedicated creative spaces or legal murals nearby. We ensure you have a safe, legal, and inspiring environment to work in. If you have a specific location in mind near your hotel or a city landmark, let us know and we will see what we can arrange!

Do I need to be artistic or have experience?

Absolutely not! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional street artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with the basics of nozzle control and 'tagging' before moving on to more intricate designs. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and vibrant. It is all about having fun!

What is included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need for the perfect street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the package you choose, you will either work on a large communal wall or create your own individual canvas to take home as the ultimate Lille souvenir. Just bring your enthusiasm and some old shoes!

Is it safe to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure you aren't breathing in paint fumes, along with nitrile gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas. Our artists are also trained in site safety and will give a full briefing before anyone touches a can. We make sure the environment is controlled, professional, and totally stress-free for all ages.

How long does the session last and should I book ahead?

Standard workshops usually run between 1.5 and 2 hours, which is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining energy and creativity. However, if you are looking for a more in-depth masterclass, we can extend the session to 3 hours. We recommend booking in advance, especially during the busy summer months or during Lille's famous 'Braderie', to ensure we have your preferred time slot and an artist available for you.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Lille can be a bit 'refreshed' with rain sometimes! Most of our workshop locations have sheltered or indoor options to ensure the fun doesn't stop. If we are planned for an outdoor wall and the weather turns nasty, we will move to a covered area or use large canvases in a studio setting. We always have a backup plan so your holiday schedule isn't ruined by a bit of French drizzle.

Step by step

Warm welcome: Meet your local Lille street artist at the designated spray spot and get introduced to the vibrant world of French graffiti.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, gloves, and professional mask. Safety is key before the paint starts flowing!
Master the nozzle: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can and practice basic lines, dots, and fades on a practice surface.
Sketching your vision: Work with your artist to sketch out a design. Use our 'Tag Creator' tools for inspiration or go totally freestyle!
Fill-in and flow: Start applying your base colours. This is the part where you learn how to get those smooth, solid coats of vibrant paint.
The outline: Use a steady hand to add the sharp outlines that make your graffiti 'pop' off the wall.
Adding shadows & highlights: Learn the secret techniques for adding 3D effects, 'shines', and 'bubbles' to give your work depth.

Local culture

Lille is a city that wears its art on its sleeves—or rather, its walls! From the industrial charm of the Saint-Sauveur district to the hidden murals of Wazemmes, the city is a living gallery. Lille's street art scene has exploded in recent years, influenced by its proximity to Belgium and the UK, creating a unique cross-border style that you won't find anywhere else in France.

Fun Fact: Did you know Lille is home to the 'Biennale Internationale d'Art Mural'? This massive festival attracts artists from all over the globe to paint giant facades across the city, making Lille a genuine European street art pilgrimage site! 🎨

Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving you a taste of the 'Nord' spirit – welcoming, creative, and always full of life. After your session, you'll see the city through a whole new lens as you spot tags and pieces you never noticed before.

Pricing

Our graffiti experiences in Lille are affordably priced to suit every traveller's budget. Rates generally range from €30 to €65 per person. The final price depends on your group size, the duration of the workshop, and whether you want to paint on a communal wall or individual canvases.

Because every group is unique, we love to tailor the experience to you. Whether you're a couple looking for a cool date or a large family group, we've got you covered!
