How it works

  1. Arrival and welcome: Meet your pro graffiti artist at our designated Thessaloniki creative spot. We’ll kick things off with some local inspiration and a quick overview of the day.
  2. The 'Caps and Cans' intro: Learn about the different nozzles (caps) and how they control the paint flow. It’s all in the wrist!
  3. Sketching your concept: Grab a marker and jot down your ideas on paper. Our artists will help you refine your design before we move to the wall.
  4. Mastering the lines: Your first few sprays! Practice basic lines, dots, and fades on a practice surface to get used to the pressure.
  5. The outline: Transfer your sketch to the main canvas or wall. This is where your vision starts taking shape in the heart of Thessaloniki.
  6. Filling and fading: Learn how to fill large areas smoothly and create those iconic graffiti gradients and 3D effects.
  7. The final highlight: Add the 'bits'—the highlights, shadows, and outlines that make your artwork pop and look professional.
  8. Group gallery and photos: We’ll wrap up by admiring everyone's work. It’s the perfect time for some group photos with your fresh masterpieces!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic or have experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Thessaloniki retreat workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray painting, lettering, and colour blending. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they arrive, and they leave with a finished masterpiece they're genuinely proud of. It's all about the experience and expression.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a stress-free creative session. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. Depending on the retreat package you choose, we also provide the canvases or designated wall space. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and we’ll handle all the logistics!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. High heels or your most expensive designer gear might be better left at home! Think casual, comfortable, and ready for action. Since Thessaloniki can get warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend during our outdoor sessions.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paint and provide all necessary safety equipment, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure everyone can breathe easily while they work. Our artist-mentors also provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a secure environment for all participants.

What is the ideal group size for a retreat in Thessaloniki?

Our group sizes are flexible to suit your needs, but for retreat workshops, we usually recommend groups of 10 to 30 people to maintain an intimate, creative atmosphere. However, we can accommodate much larger groups for corporate retreats or smaller private sessions for families. Just let us know your numbers, and we will tailor the artist-to-guest ratio to ensure everyone gets enough personal guidance.

How do I book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and risk-free! You can request a quote through our website or use our Cost Calculator. The best part? We don't require upfront payments for most bookings—you pay after the workshop. We also have backup artists available at all times, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the planning process as smooth as the paint we use!

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

A standard retreat workshop session typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final artwork. If you're looking for a more intensive 'deep dive' as part of a multi-day retreat, we can easily extend the sessions or spread the experience over several days.
