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

Absolutely no artistic skill is required! Our Nantes-based graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to shading and 3D effects. Most of our participants haven't touched a spray can before, yet they leave with a finished canvas or mural they are genuinely proud of. It is all about the process and having a blast!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

We prioritse your safety above all else. We provide high-quality FFP masks to prevent paint inhalation, along with disposable gloves and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Furthermore, our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone even touches a can, ensuring everyone handles the equipment responsibly and safely throughout the session.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Nantes can be a bit rainy, but we don't let that stop the fun! We have several covered or indoor locations across the city where we can host the workshop regardless of the weather. If the forecast looks particularly grim for an outdoor session, we will coordinate with you to move to a sheltered spot or reschedule. We always have a 'Plan B' to ensure your street art experience isn't washed out.

Is there an age limit for participants?

For our public art workshops, we generally recommend a minimum age of 6 to 8 years old. This is mainly because the spray cans require a certain amount of finger strength and hand coordination to operate effectively. For younger children, we can adapt the session with stencils or different materials. We also offer specific Kids Parties in Nantes designed specifically for younger age groups with adjusted durations and activities.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard workshops typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This includes the introductory briefing, sketching your design, practicing techniques, and completing your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience or have a very large group, we can extend the session to 3 hours or more. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for staying engaged and energised without getting tired.

Do I have to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible payment policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you make your booking. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you simply pay after the session is completed. This gives you peace of mind and makes the organising process much smoother. We accept various payment methods to make things as easy as possible for you.

Can you accommodate large groups or school classes?

We love big groups! Whether it is a school outing, a large corporate team-building event, or a community festival, we can accommodate groups of almost any size. We simply bring in additional professional artists and set up more spraying stations to ensure everyone gets plenty of 'can time' and individual guidance. Just let us know your estimated numbers when you request your quote, and we will scale the event to fit.

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: Meet your pro graffiti artist at the spot. We’ll kick things off with a quick safety briefing and an overview of how the gear works.
The Concept: Take a moment to brainstorm your design. Whether it’s your name, a logo, or a cool character, we’ll help you sketch it out on paper first.
Can Control: Before hitting the final surface, you’ll practice basic techniques on 'practice walls.' Learn how to control the pressure, line thickness, and distance.
Outline: Time to start for real! You'll use your chosen colours to put the first lines of your masterpiece onto the canvas or wall.
Fill-in & Shading: This is where the magic happens. We’ll show you how to blend colours, create gradients, and add that professional street art 'fade.'
The 3D Effect: Learn the secret of making your art pop off the wall. We’ll teach you how to add shadows and 3D perspectives to your letters.
The Final Touches: Highlighting and 'cutting' the edges with a sharp outline to make the whole piece look crisp and clean.
Photos & Celebration: Once the paint is dry, we’ll take some epic group photos of you with your work. You’ve officially made your mark on Nantes!

Good to know

Local culture

Nantes is a city that breathes creativity, from the mechanical wonders of the Machines de l'île to the vibrant murals found along the Loire river. The city’s history as an industrial hub has paved the way for a massive street art scene, particularly around the Hangar à Bananes and the creative district on the Île de Nantes. There is a real sense of artistic freedom here that makes it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti workshop.

Fun Fact: Nantes is home to the 'Le Voyage à Nantes', a permanent art trail marked by a green line on the ground that takes you through the city's coolest installations and street art spots!

When you join us for a session in Nantes, you aren't just learning a skill; you're becoming part of a local culture that celebrates bold expression and colourful storytelling. From the historic streets of Bouffay to the modern docks, inspiration is around every corner. 🔥
