Practical details
Our festival workshops are built for flexibility. Sessions can run as short 20-minute taster slots or as a continuous "drop-in" activity over several days. We provide all professional-grade low-odour spray paint, high-quality masks, and protective overalls to keep your guests' festival outfits clean. Safety is our priority: we provide full supervision and use fire-retardant materials where required. We can accommodate groups of 10 to 500+ throughout the day, ensuring that no matter the scale of your event in Bordeaux, every guest gets a chance to make their mark.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialised masks for every participant. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. Since we are outdoors in Bordeaux, we ensure the setup is well-ventilated and secure for festival-goers of all ages, keeping the fun high and the risks non-existent.
How much space do you need for a festival setup?
We are incredibly flexible. Whether you have a small corner at a boutique event or a massive stage-side area at a major music festival, we can adapt. We use mobile plastic walls or temporary wooden panels that can be set up anywhere in Bordeaux. Just let us know your footprint, and we will bring the right gear to fit your site plan perfectly.
Can you handle large crowds at a busy event?
Yes, we offer two main styles! We can run 'walk-in' sessions where guests contribute to a giant collaborative mural throughout the day, or scheduled 'masterclasses' where groups learn specific techniques. For Bordeaux festivals, a mix of both often works best to keep the energy flowing and ensure everyone gets a chance to spray.
Do participants need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists guide every participant through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating clean lines and fades. We make sure everyone leaves feeling like a pro, regardless of their artistic background or previous experience with spray paint.
What happens if it rains during the festival?
Bordeaux weather is usually lovely, but we always have a plan B. We can set up under gazebos or event tents to keep the artists and the artwork dry. If the weather is truly extreme, our backup artist policy and flexible scheduling mean we can work with you to find the best solution so your festival entertainment doesn't skip a beat.
Do the participants get to keep what they create?
In most cases, yes! You can choose to have attendees work on a collective mural that stays at the festival, or we can provide individual canvases or boards that people can take home as a unique souvenir. It’s a fantastic way to give your guests a tangible memory of their time in Bordeaux.
