Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most university students have never touched a spray can before they join us, and by the end of the session, they’ve created a masterpiece they are proud of. It’s all about having fun and being creative!

What materials are included in the university workshop?

We provide everything you need for a successful session. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and respiratory masks for safety. We also provide the canvases or boards for your artwork. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on. We handle the rest!

What should we wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective suits and gloves, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or older outfits. Professional spray paint is permanent and can occasionally find its way onto shoes or sleeves despite the gear. Think of it as your 'artist uniform' for the day—if you aren't worried about a tiny speck of paint, you'll have a much better time!

How long does a typical workshop last?

Standard university workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives your group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice your 'tag', and collaborate on a final large-scale piece. If you have a specific schedule or a tight window between lectures, just let us know and we can tailor the duration to fit your event perfectly.

Where in Jyväskylä do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various outdoor locations around Jyväskylä, or we can come directly to your campus if there is a suitable outdoor space. We also have access to indoor studios equipped with proper ventilation systems for year-round creativity. Tell us where your student group is based, and we will find the most convenient spot nearby.

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including FFP-rated masks. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the 'spray-safe' rules to ensure the only thing you leave with is great memories and art.

Can you host workshops indoors if the weather is bad?

Yes, we do! If the Finnish weather isn't cooperating, we have indoor locations in Jyväskylä that are fully set up for graffiti. Alternatively, if you have a specific university hall in mind, we can set up 'cellophane walls' and use water-based spray paints if necessary. We always have a backup plan so your student event can go ahead regardless of the rain or snow.
