Is the graffiti workshop suitable for individuals with limited mobility?

Absolutely! We believe art is for everyone. Our Helsinki workshops are fully customisable to accommodate various physical, sensory, or cognitive needs. We use accessible locations, provide adjustable workstations, and our artists are trained to offer patient, step-by-step guidance. We focus on what every participant *can* do, ensuring a supportive environment where everyone feels like a rockstar.

What safety measures are in place for sensitive participants?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. For those sensitive to smells or aerosols, we can often arrange 'low-odour' sessions using water-based paints or conduct the workshop in exceptionally well-ventilated outdoor areas in Helsinki to ensure a comfortable and safe breathing environment for everyone involved.

How long does a special needs graffiti workshop last?

Standard sessions in Helsinki usually run between 1.5 to 2 hours, but we are completely flexible. We understand that some groups might need more frequent breaks or a slower pace to process instructions. We can shorten the session for those with shorter attention spans or extend it for those who want to dive deep into their creative flow.

What is the typical group size for these specialised sessions?

We recommend a small ratio to ensure high-quality, individual attention. Generally, we suggest one artist for every 5 to 8 participants. This allows our instructors to provide hands-on help, encourage those who might be hesitant, and ensure that everyone is using the spray cans safely and effectively while having the time of their lives!

Do participants need to have any previous artistic skills?

No prior art experience or 'talent' is needed! Graffiti is a very forgiving and physical medium that is more about the process than the final product. Our Helsinki-based artists are experts at breaking down techniques into simple, manageable actions. Most participants are amazed at what they can create within just a couple of hours of picking up a can.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full-body protective suits, splashes can happen. In Helsinki, it’s always a good idea to dress in layers so you stay comfortable whether we are working in an indoor studio or at an outdoor street art spot.

How do we book a session and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can use our online cost calculator for a quick estimate or send us an inquiry directly. We don't require upfront payments; you only pay after the workshop is complete. We’ll discuss your group's specific needs beforehand to make sure we have the right staff and equipment ready for your Helsinki adventure.

Local culture

Helsinki is a city that wears its heart on its walls! From the legal graffiti walls in Suvilahti to the vibrant murals tucked away in Pasila, the local street art scene is all about community and expression. Helsinki has a long-standing tradition of valuing design and accessibility, making it the perfect backdrop for an inclusive art experience. The "Helsinki spirit" is one of openness and innovation—qualities we bring into every workshop we host. 🏛️ 🇫🇮

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Pasila district is often referred to as 'Helsinki's Street Art District'? It transformed from a grey concrete area into an open-air gallery thanks to local and international artists!
