Why choose us in Barcelona?

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the Catalan capital? It’s about more than just paint—it's about perspective. Here’s why our sessions are a must-do: 🔥

  • Epic locations: Paint in the shadow of iconic architecture and sun-drenched squares.
  • Stress-free booking: No deposit required—focus on the fun, not the paperwork.
  • Real artists: Learn from pros who are active in the Barcelona street art scene.
  • Boosted creativity: Break through mental blocks with the raw, fast-paced energy of graffiti.
  • Unforgettable memories: Take home your own canvas or photos of a massive mural you helped build.
  • Reliability: We always have backup artists on standby. Your retreat is in safe hands! 🎤

How it works

  1. Warm welcome and intro: Meet your professional artist guide at the location and get a crash course in the vibrant history of Barcelona's street art scene.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up in our protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We’ll show you how to handle the cans safely and professionally.
  3. The basics of spray: Learn 'can control'—how to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth fades. It’s harder than it looks but easier than you think!
  4. Sketching your vision: Grab some paper and pencils to brainstorm your design. Our artists will help you refine your ideas into a tag or piece.
  5. First strokes: Head to the wall or canvas to start your outline. This is where the adrenaline kicks in as you make your first mark.
  6. Layering and colour: Learn how to layer colours to create depth and pop. We use high-quality pigments to make sure your art looks professional.
  7. The finishing touches: Add 'highlights' and 'lowlights' to give your work a 3D effect. This is the stage where your artwork truly comes to life.
  8. Group masterpiece: Work together on a final collaborative project that represents your retreat's collective energy and goals.
  9. Photos and wrap-up: Pose with your creation for some epic group photos and receive feedback from your artist coach.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior art experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely not! Our retreat workshops in Barcelona are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, lettering, and shading. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the right techniques. It's all about the joy of creating and expressing yourself in a supportive, fun environment.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy! It’s all part of the authentic street art experience. If you’re visiting Barcelona, just bring your enthusiasm and your creative spirit—we’ll take care of all the professional gear you need to stay safe and (mostly) clean.

How long does a typical session last?

Our retreat workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of the movement, practice basic techniques on our practice walls, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. If you have specific time constraints for your retreat schedule, just let us know! We are very flexible and can tailor the duration to fit your group's unique itinerary in beautiful Barcelona.

Is it safe to use spray paint during the workshop?

Yes, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective gear for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and we use professional-grade spray paint. Our artists are experienced in managing groups safely, ensuring everyone has a fantastic time without any risks. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your event is guaranteed to happen safely and on time.

How does the 'pay later' policy work?

We believe in a stress-free booking experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. This way, you can book your Barcelona retreat with total confidence, knowing that our primary goal is to ensure your group has an unforgettable, creative time.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?

Barcelona’s weather is usually fantastic, but we always have a plan B. If the weather doesn't play ball, we can move the workshop to a covered or indoor location to ensure your retreat isn't interrupted. Because we have local knowledge and a large network of artists, we are experts at adapting to the conditions so your creative flow remains uninterrupted. Your workshop will go ahead rain or shine!
