How long does a typical workshop last?

Secondary school workshops in Uppsala usually run between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for students to grasp the history of street art, learn basic spray techniques, and complete a final group mural or individual canvas. If you have specific curriculum requirements or a tighter schedule, we can easily adapt the session to fit your school's timetable while ensuring everyone gets plenty of painting time.

Is the spray paint safe for students?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including professional-grade respiratory masks, gloves, and overalls to keep students safe and clean. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings and supervise the use of spray cans at all times. We use low-odour, high-quality paint to ensure a comfortable environment for all participants during the creative process.

Where in Uppsala do the workshops take place?

We can host the workshop right at your school in Uppsala! Whether you have a courtyard, a sports field, or a well-ventilated indoor space, we bring the entire setup to you. If your school doesn't have a suitable spot, we can suggest local locations nearby. Our mobile setup includes 'cellofiti' (temporary plastic walls) so we don't leave any permanent marks on school property.

Can the workshop theme be linked to the school curriculum?

Absolutely! Graffiti is a fantastic medium for teaching teamwork, history, and social issues. We can tailor the workshop themes to coincide with what students are learning in art class, social studies, or even literature. From exploring the concept of 'identity' to celebrating local Uppsala milestones, we work with teachers to make the experience educational as well as incredibly fun.

Do students need previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who have never held a spray can to budding young artists. Our instructors guide the students through every step, starting with simple lines and moving onto complex lettering and shading. The goal is expression and enjoyment, and every student will walk away having created something they can be proud of.

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and trainers! Dressing in layers is also a good idea if we are working outdoors in the crisp Uppsala air. We’ll provide everything else—from the paint and masks to the boards and inspiration.

Local culture

Uppsala is a city where history meets innovation, from the towering Cathedral to the bustling student life around the university. This blend of the old and the new makes it the perfect backdrop for a modern graffiti workshop. While Uppsala is famous for its academic excellence, there is a growing appreciation for urban expression in its creative quarters. We love bringing street art to this historic city, showing students that they can contribute to the cultural dialogue in a respectful and artistic way. 🎨

Fun fact: Did you know that Uppsala is home to some of the oldest graffiti in Sweden? You can find historic 'tags' carved into the stones of the Uppsala Castle and the Cathedral dating back centuries—street art has always been a part of the human story! 🏰
