How it works

Welcome and inspiration: We start with a warm welcome in a scenic La Paz location, introducing you to the vibrant world of Bolivian street art culture. 🔥
Safety briefing: Your artist will show you how to properly use your protective gear and masks to ensure a safe, clean environment.
The basics of spray: Learn 'Can Control'—how to hold the spray can, adjust your distance, and master different nozzle tips for varied effects.
First lines: Practise basic shapes, dots, and lines on your practice surface to get a feel for the pressure and flow of the paint. ✏️
Sketching your concept: Use chalk or light spray to sketch out your design, whether it's a personal tag or a collaborative mural piece.
Filling and fading: Dive into the colours! We’ll teach you how to fill large areas smoothly and create beautiful gradients (fades) between shades.
The 'Power Outline': Define your work with sharp outlines and highlights to make your graffiti 'pop' against the background. ✨
Final touches: Add those professional details like 'drips' or 'force fields' that give street art its signature look.
Gallery walk: Step back, celebrate your hard work with the group, and take plenty of photos of your La Paz masterpiece! 📸

Pricing

Because every retreat is unique—ranging from private mountain-view sessions to large corporate gatherings—we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Factors like group size, choice of surface, and workshop duration play a role in the final cost. 💸

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous artistic experience for the retreat?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the journey and the creative release rather than 'perfect' art. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the basics of can control, fading, and outlining under the crisp La Paz sun. ✨

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, and we conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large semi-open studios. Our artists are trained to ensure everyone follows safety protocols while still having an absolute blast making art. 🛡️

How long does the graffiti retreat session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop in La Paz typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day experience, we can certainly customise the schedule to fit your group's specific itinerary. ⏳

What exactly is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas'—whether that’s a professional-grade board, a communal wall, or individual canvases to take home. We even bring the inspiration and the music to keep the vibes high. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and old shoes! 🎨

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

Our retreats are very flexible. We can host small, intimate groups of 5-10 people looking for a personal creative escape, or large-scale corporate retreats with over 100 participants. For larger groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets individual attention and guidance. No matter the size of your group in La Paz, we've got the logistics covered. 🤝

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

La Paz weather can be unpredictable, but we’re always prepared! If we are booked for an outdoor spot and it rains, we usually move to a sheltered backup location or use large professional gazebos. Because we have a team of backup artists and flexible venues, your creative retreat will go ahead rain or shine—nothing stops the art in Bolivia! 🌦️

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

Not at all! One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' philosophy. We don't require upfront payments for your booking. You can focus on planning your trip to La Paz with total peace of mind, knowing that you only settle the bill after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is happy. 💳
