Is spray painting safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every pupil. Our spray paints are low-odour and compliant with safety standards. Additionally, our professional artists are experienced in managing large groups of children, ensuring a controlled environment where everyone follows the safety rules while having a blast. It’s all about creating art in a secure, supervised setting.

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! We focus heavily on the 'street art vs. vandalism' distinction. Our instructors teach children that graffiti is a powerful form of self-expression and public art when done in the right places with permission. By giving them a legal outlet for their creativity, we actually help reduce the urge for illegal tagging. It’s an educational experience that builds respect for public spaces and the local community.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! While we love working outdoors in the fresh Lahti air, we can easily move the workshop inside if the weather turns. We use special indoor-friendly techniques or can set up in a ventilated hall or gym with protective flooring. Plus, we have backup artists available, so your workshop will go ahead rain or shine. You won’t have to worry about last-minute cancellations.

Do the kids need to bring any specific supplies?

We suggest children wear old clothes and shoes, just in case! Even though we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to their favourite trainers. We provide everything else: the paint, the boards, the masks, and the professional guidance. Just bring your energy and creativity!

Do the students need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our artists start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create simple lines. We guide them step-by-step through the process, so every child, regardless of their artistic 'talent,' ends up with a piece of work they are genuinely proud of. It’s about the experience, not perfection.

How long does a primary school graffiti workshop typically last?

We can be very flexible! A typical primary school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introductory talk, safety briefing, practice session, and the creation of the final artwork. For larger year groups, we can run multiple shorter sessions throughout the day or set up different stations. We’ll work with your school schedule to make it fit perfectly.

Can the students take their artwork home after the session?

Yes, we encourage it! Many schools in Lahti choose to have the students work on individual canvases or boards that they can take home. Alternatively, we can facilitate a large collaborative mural on a temporary wall or board that stays at the school as a permanent piece of student art. It's a fantastic way to brighten up the playground or a school corridor with vibrant, local creativity.

Local culture

Lahti isn't just about ski jumping and beautiful lakes; it’s a city that has always embraced bold design and environmental innovation. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your school here, you're tapping into that local spirit of "Sisu" and creativity. We love working in the shadow of the Salpausselkä ridges, bringing a splash of urban colour to the Päijät-Häme landscape. 🌲

Whether your school is near the bustling harbour or closer to the quiet outskirts, we bring the vibe of a modern art gallery right to your playground.
