How it works

  1. Warm welcome & intro: Meet your pro artist guide at our Košice location. We’ll start with a relaxed introduction to the history of street art and the goals for your retreat.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits so you can focus entirely on the art without worrying about your clothes.
  3. The basics of spray: Learn the 'can-control' fundamentals. We’ll show you how to manage pressure, distance, and angle to create different lines and textures.
  4. Sketching your vision: Brainstorm your ideas on paper or directly on the canvas. Our artists help you refine your concept, whether it's a personal tag or a stunning mural.
  5. Filling and fading: Dive into the colours! You'll learn how to fill large areas efficiently and how to create beautiful gradients and 'fades' between different shades.
  6. Outlining & highlights: This is where the magic happens. Use sharp lines to make your art pop and add highlights to give your work depth and a professional finish.
  7. The final flourish: Add those tiny details—splatters, drips, or intricate patterns—that make your piece uniquely yours.
  8. Gallery walk & photos: We’ll take a moment to admire everyone's work. It’s a great time for group photos and celebrating your new creative skills!
  9. Take it home: If you've worked on a canvas, it's yours to keep. A permanent, hand-made souvenir of your creative retreat in the heart of Slovakia.

We also provide the canvases or designated wall space for your masterpiece. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our experienced instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the entire artistic session in Košice.
