Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Jyväskylä have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create various line thicknesses. We guide you through the whole process, from sketching your initial idea to adding those final 'pop' effects. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can create in just one session.

What safety gear do you provide and what should I wear?

We take safety seriously so you can focus on the fun. Every participant is provided with high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialised FFP3 masks to ensure you don't breathe in any fumes. Graffiti paint is permanent, so while the suits cover a lot, we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old trainers that you don't mind getting a little dusty or speckled with paint.

How long does the graffiti workshop last?

Our standard tourist workshops in Jyväskylä typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of your final masterpiece. If you are a larger group or want a more in-depth masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your travel itinerary.

What do we actually paint on, and can I take it home?

We usually work on large professional cellograff walls (industrial stretch wrap) or dedicated legal graffiti surfaces. The best part? You don't have to leave your art behind! We also offer options to paint on high-quality canvases that you can let dry and take home as the ultimate, hand-made souvenir of your Finnish holiday. It’s much cooler than a standard fridge magnet!

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

Rain is quite common in Central Finland, but it won't stop our creativity! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across Jyväskylä. If we've planned an outdoor session and the weather turns, we’ll move to a covered spot or an indoor studio space. We always have a backup plan (and backup artists) to ensure your booking goes ahead as planned.

How does the payment process work? Do I pay upfront?

We believe in a stress-free booking experience for travellers. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Jyväskylä workshop. You can pay via invoice or card after the workshop is finished. This gives you total flexibility with your travel budget and peace of mind that you'll only pay once you've seen how much fun the session is!

Our workshops often take place near these inspiring hubs, allowing you to feel the pulse of the city's creative heart. ✨
