Do the kids need any previous art experience?

No experience is needed at all! Our Uppsala workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide the kids through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading. We focus on building confidence and having a blast, so whether they are naturally artistic or have never picked up a marker, they will leave with a masterpiece and a big smile.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or designated legal graffiti walls in Uppsala. Furthermore, our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the group closely to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe throughout the creative process.

What should the participants wear?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, just in case! While we provide full protective suits and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find a way onto sneakers or sleeves. It is best to leave the brand-new school shoes at home for the day. We’ll take care of all the professional gear to keep the mess to a minimum.

Can the kids work together on one big mural?

Absolutely! We encourage a collaborative environment. Depending on the group size and goals, your kids can work together on a massive 'crew' mural that stays at the school or youth centre, or they can create individual canvases to take home. We find that working on a large-scale project together is a fantastic way to build teamwork and communication skills while having a total blast.

Where do the after-school workshops take place in Uppsala?

We are very flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school, community centre, or a local Uppsala sports field. If you prefer an authentic street vibe, we can also arrange for the session to take place at one of the legal graffiti walls in the city. Just let us know your preference, and we will handle the logistics to make it happen effortlessly.

How long is a typical graffiti session?

A standard after-school session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and then the final creation of the artwork. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your specific school schedule or afternoon programme requirements, ensuring a stress-free experience for everyone involved.

Are all materials included in the price?

We bring everything! The price includes professional-grade spray cans in a rainbow of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the painting surface (canvases or boards). You don't need to worry about a thing—just bring your energy and creativity. We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards, leaving the area exactly as we found it.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Uppsala is a city where history meets modern innovation, and its street art scene is no exception! From the legal walls that pop up around the city to the creative energy flowing through the student quarters, there is inspiration around every corner. We love bringing the raw energy of the street into a controlled, educational setting right here in the shadow of the Uppsala Cathedral. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Uppsala is home to some of the most vibrant legal murals in Sweden? These 'Open Walls' allow artists to hone their skills legally, helping the city maintain a beautiful balance between historic architecture and modern urban expression!

Pricing

Our after-school sessions are priced competitively to ensure street art is accessible to all. Prices typically range from 300 kr to 650 kr per person, depending on the number of participants and the specific setup (canvases vs. mural walls).

We believe in transparency and no hidden costs. Plus, you don't have to pay anything upfront! Pay only after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience.
