What is the minimum age for the workshop?

Generally, we recommend our after-school workshops for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the motor skills to handle the spray cans effectively and can follow the safety instructions properly. However, we can adapt our sessions for slightly younger groups or teenagers by changing the complexity of the designs and the techniques we teach. Safety is always our primary concern for every age group.

Is spraying graffiti safe for children?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators to ensure no one breathes in fumes, along with protective overalls and gloves to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, teaching proper nozzle control and spray distance. We also ensure the workspace is well-ventilated, making the entire experience safe, controlled, and worry-free for parents and teachers alike.

What should the students wear?

We recommend wearing 'old sneakers' and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective overalls, paint has a funny way of finding gaps when kids are having this much fun! Check the weather too—if we are painting at an outdoor location in Västerås, a warm layer underneath the overall is a smart move during the cooler Swedish months.

Do we need to provide any materials?

Don't worry, we've got you covered! We provide everything needed for a successful session: a huge variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, gloves, and the boards or walls we'll be painting on. If you've chosen a canvas-based workshop, the kids even get to take their masterpiece home the same day. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and creativity!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard after-school session typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, sketching out ideas, and plenty of actual painting time. We can shorten or lengthen the duration to fit your school's specific schedule or to accommodate larger groups who might need to rotate through the painting stations.

Can the workshop take place at our school?

Absolutely! While we love visiting schools in Västerås, we also have access to various legal graffiti zones and creative spaces. If your school doesn't have a suitable outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor hall, we can arrange for the group to meet us at a dedicated street art spot. This often adds to the 'authentic' street art vibe of the whole experience.

Do the students need to be 'good at art' to join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex street art styles into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and circles before moving on to shadows and highlights. By the end of the afternoon, every student will be amazed at what they've managed to create, regardless of their previous drawing skills.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your after-school programme? We don't just teach kids how to paint; we give them a boost in self-expression and teamwork. Here’s why we’re the top choice in Västerås: 🚀

Confidence Builder: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they created themselves gives students an incredible sense of achievement.
Zero Stress for Schools: We bring everything! You don't need to worry about supplies, setup, or cleanup — we handle it all. 🧹
Safety First: We use professional-grade masks and eco-conscious paints where possible, ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
Pro Artist Mentors: Our team consists of active street artists who know how to engage with kids and teenagers in an authentic, inspiring way. 🎤
Flexible & Mobile: We can set up our mobile graffiti walls almost anywhere in Västerås, from playgrounds to gym halls.

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We meet the group and hand out the 'space suits' (protective gear). Our artists explain the safety rules and how to use the equipment properly.
The Art of the Tag: Students learn the history of graffiti and the evolution of 'tags' into complex murals.
Concept Sketching: Every great mural starts on paper. We help the students sketch their initials or a cool character to plan their piece.
Can Control: Before hitting the main wall, we practice basic strokes, dots, and lines to get a feel for the spray pressure.
Outlining: The magic starts! Students transfer their sketches onto the painting surface using light 'sketching' colours.
Filling In: Time to go wild with colour! We teach blending and fading techniques to make the artwork pop.
Detailing & 3D: Our artists show how to add 'shadows' and 'highlights' to give the graffiti a professional, 3D look.
The Clean Up: We wrap up the session, safely dispose of empty cans, and admire the collective gallery.

Local culture

Västerås has a growing appreciation for urban culture, and we love bringing that modern vibe to local schools. Whether we're setting up near the scenic Mälaren waterfront or right in the heart of the city, the industrial heritage of Västerås provides the perfect backdrop for gritty, creative street art. We often see students drawing inspiration from the city's unique mix of historic architecture and modern 'Skrapan' vibes. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Västerås is one of Sweden's oldest cities? While it's steeped in history, its youth scene is incredibly forward-thinking, making it the perfect place to bridge the gap between traditional education and modern street culture!

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Västerås typically range from kr300 to kr650 per person. The final price depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and whether you want students to paint on a shared wall or individual canvases.

The best part? You don't have to pay a penny upfront – sessions are paid for after the workshop is complete! 💰
