How long does a typical university graffiti workshop last?

Most university workshops in Västeras last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives your group enough time to learn the basic strokes, practice their 'tag' on paper, and then move on to the main event: spray painting a collective mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a specific lecture slot or a larger student festival schedule if needed.

Is it safe to use spray paint indoors or outdoors?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to every student. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and produce less fumes than industrial paint. Our professional artists lead a safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone has a blast without any risks.

What if I have zero artistic talent or experience?

Don't worry, that is exactly why we are here! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the basics of 'can control' and simple lettering techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something that looks professional with just a few tips from our graffiti pros. It is all about expressing yourself, not being a classically trained artist.

Do we need to travel to a studio, or can you come to our campus?

We are totally flexible. We can host the workshop at a dedicated street art spot in Västeras, or we can bring the entire setup to your university campus or student union building. We use mobile plastic walls or large canvases to protect the surrounding area, so we leave the site exactly as we found it—except for the awesome new art you have created!

What should students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers just in case, even though we provide full-body protective gear. Spray paint is permanent, and while the overalls cover most of your outfit, a little stray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think 'comfy clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of colour on' and you’ll be perfectly fine.

Are the materials and protective gear included in the price?

Everything is included in the price! We bring the spray cans in a massive variety of colours, caps for different line widths, sketching materials, masks, gloves, and overalls. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that is a temporary wall, a sheet of board, or individual canvases for students to take home. You just need to bring your energy and creativity.

Do we have to pay upfront to book a session?

Yes, definitely! We offer a 'pay-after' service because we are confident you will love the experience. This makes it much easier for university societies or student unions to manage their budgets, as you don't have to worry about upfront costs. Once the workshop is finished and everyone is happy with their masterpieces, we handle the invoice. Simple and stress-free!

Local culture

Västeras has a growing appreciation for urban art, moving beyond its industrial roots to embrace a more colourful future. While you might find inspiration at the legendary Västerås Konstlaboratorium, there is nothing like actually getting your hands on a spray can yourself. The city’s mix of modern architecture and historic lakeside vibes provides the perfect backdrop for a creative explosion. We love the energy of the local student population here—it brings a unique 'Mälardalen' edge to every mural we create.

Fun Fact: Did you know Västeras is known as "Gurkstaden" (Cucumber City)? While we usually prefer painting walls to pickles, we’ve seen some pretty epic green graffiti tributes to the local legend! 🥒✨

300 kr – 650 kr per person
