Do I need to be good at drawing to join the retreat workshop?

No artistic experience is required at all! Our Oulu workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you’ve never picked up a can of paint before. It's all about the experience and having a blast!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks to keep you and your clothes safe. However, spray paint is permanent and can sometimes find its way onto shoes or exposed skin, so we always recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. We take safety and cleanliness seriously so you can focus on the fun.

How long does a typical creative retreat workshop last?

Standard retreat workshops in Oulu generally last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for the introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your artwork. If you have a specific schedule or want a more intensive full-day retreat experience, we can easily customise the duration to fit your group's needs. Just let our team know what you're looking for!

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

We love the refreshing Oulu air, but we always have a plan B! We have access to several covered and indoor locations across the city to ensure your workshop goes ahead regardless of the Finnish weather. If the conditions are truly extreme, we can reschedule or move to one of our backup spots. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your event is never cancelled.

Can we take our graffiti artwork home with us?

Absolutely! While we often work on large communal walls for that authentic street art feel, we can also arrange for everyone to work on individual canvases or boards. This is a popular option for retreats because it allows every participant to take their unique piece of Oulu street art home as a physical memory of the day. Just mention this preference when you're booking!

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We use professional-grade spray paint and provide all necessary PPE, including masks with proper filtration. Our artists are highly experienced in managing groups and ensure a safe, controlled environment. We also follow all local Oulu safety regulations. It’s a very safe activity when done under the guidance of our pros, making it perfect for team bonding and relaxation.

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us an enquiry through our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend retreats in Oulu, to secure your preferred date and artist.

Local culture

Oulu might be known as a bustling technology centre, but beneath its digital exterior beats a vibrant, creative heart. From the colourful atmosphere of the Pikisaari island of artists to the urban energy of the city centre, Oulu is the ideal place for a creative retreat. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, giving you a chance to see the city from a completely different perspective.

Fun Fact: Oulu is the capital of Northern Scandinavia and is famous for the Air Guitar World Championships. Just like air guitar, graffiti is all about bold expression and having the confidence to let loose! 🎸

Whether we're setting up near the iconic 'Toripolliisi' statue or at one of Oulu's hidden legal spray walls, you'll feel the unique "Oulu spirit"—a mix of northern grit and boundless innovation. We love bringing street art to this city and seeing how the local environment inspires every unique piece of work our guests create.

Pricing

Our Oulu retreat workshops are competitively priced to ensure you get the best creative experience for your budget. Pricing typically ranges from €30 to €65 per person, depending on your group size, the chosen materials (like individual canvases), and the workshop duration.

Because every retreat is unique, we love to create bespoke packages that fit your vision perfectly. 🎉
