How it works

  1. The warm welcome: Meet your professional artist at the designated Lyon street art spot and get a quick intro to the tools of the trade.
  2. Design & sketches: Grab a marker and paper to sketch out your initial ideas. Don't worry, our pros are there to help you refine your concept.
  3. Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear, including gloves and masks, and learn the essential safety rules for using spray cans.
  4. Mastering the nozzle: Learn the 'can-control' basics—how to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth gradients by adjusting your pressure and distance.
  5. Outline your piece: Step up to the canvas and lay down the foundation of your artwork with a light sketch using the spray can.
  6. Fill with colour: This is where the magic happens! Select your palette and start filling in your design with bold, vibrant colours.
  7. Adding the details: Use specialized caps to add highlights, shadows, and those crisp 'power lines' that make graffiti pop.
  8. The final reveal: Step back, admire your work, and take some epic photos with your creation before the paint dries!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

No artistic skills are required! Our Lyon workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering lacing and fading techniques. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours with the right guidance and a bit of creative confidence.

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide range of high-quality spray cans in various colours, protective gear like gloves and overalls, and the surfaces you'll be painting on. For our public art sessions, we often use professional-grade canvases so you have a masterpiece to take home. Just bring your enthusiasm and some clothes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective clothing for all participants. Our workshops in Lyon are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely, making this a fun and secure experience for all ages and skill levels.

How long does a typical street art experience last?

The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a short introduction to the history of street art, a demonstration of basic techniques, and plenty of hands-on time for you to design and paint your own artwork. We make sure the pace is relaxed so you can truly enjoy the creative process.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We offer great flexibility for groups! Most of our public art sessions are designed for groups of 10 to 50 people, but we can accommodate larger parties for festivals or brand activations. If you are coming as an individual or a small pair, keep an eye on our event calendar or get in touch to see when our next open-enrolment session in Lyon is happening.

Do I have to pay in advance for the booking?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, so we don't require upfront payments. You can book your spot and pay after the experience is complete. We accept various payment methods including bank transfers and major cards. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on the art!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Lyon's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. In the event of heavy rain for an outdoor session, we usually move to a sheltered location or an indoor studio. Because we have local backup artists available, we almost never have to cancel, ensuring your creative plans stay on track regardless of the sky.
