What is the age limit for the summer camp in Västerås?

Ideally, participants should be between 8 and 18 years old. We group campers by age and skill level to ensure everyone feels comfortable and challenged. For the younger ones, we focus on basic shapes and safety, while teenagers often dive deeper into complex lettering and 'wildstyle' techniques. Our artists are great at adapting their teaching style to suit whoever is holding the spray can!

Do the kids need prior art experience to join?

Not a single bit! Our Västerås summer camp is designed for everyone from total beginners to those who already doodle in their notebooks. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, pressure control, and safety—before moving on to more technical skills. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with a little guidance from our pros.

Is spraying graffiti paint safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our professional artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly and respectfully.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'art clothes'—things you don't mind getting a stray speck of paint on. While we provide protective overalls, it's best to be safe and wear comfortable outfits and closed-toe shoes. Since we’re in Sweden, checking the weather forecast is a good idea too! If it’s sunny, bring some sunscreen; if there’s a light drizzle, we usually have covered areas to work under.

How long does a typical summer camp session last?

The summer camp usually runs over several days, with sessions lasting between 2 to 4 hours per day. This gives the campers enough time to learn the theory, practice their sketches, and finally execute a large-scale mural. We find this rhythm keeps energy levels high without being too exhausting, leaving plenty of time for other summer activities in beautiful Västerås.

Do I need to pay in advance to book a spot?

Absolutely! Unlike many other providers, we don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your booking. You can book your spot at our Västerås camp with total peace of mind and pay after the workshop is completed. We believe in the quality of our service and want the booking process to be as stress-free as possible for parents.

Sketching the vision: Campers grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their tags and designs, learning about letter structure and flow.
Can control basics: Before hitting the big walls, we practice 'fat' and 'skinny' lines on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure.
Background techniques: Participants learn how to create stunning fades, gradients, and cosmic effects for their backdrops.
Filling in the letters: This is where the colour pops! Campers learn how to fill their designs neatly and efficiently.
The power of the outline: We teach the secret to making art "pop"—crisp outlines and clever 3D shadows to add depth.

Local culture

Västerås might be known for its industrial heritage and beautiful Lake Mälaren views, but it also has a growing heartbeat of urban creativity. From the modern vibes of the Steam Hotel area to the local youth centres, the city is a fantastic backdrop for exploring street art. We love bringing our workshops to the "City of the Cucumber" because of its energetic youth scene and open-minded community.

Fun Fact: Did you know Västerås is one of the oldest cities in Sweden and Northern Europe? It’s pretty cool to think that while we’re creating the art of the future with spray cans, we’re surrounded by over 1,000 years of history! 🇸🇪
