Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority during every youth project in Uppsala. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our professional artists are also trained to supervise groups and ensure that spray cans are used responsibly. We only use high-quality paint that complies with safety standards, making it a secure environment for teens to explore their creativity.

How long does a typical youth session last?

Our youth workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tagging' and 'throwing' styles, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and engagement focused without the participants getting tired or losing interest.

Do the participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to more artistically inclined youngsters. Our expert instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the 'fun' aspect of street art, ensuring everyone walks away feeling proud of what they created.

Where in Uppsala do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at a dedicated street art location in Uppsala, or we can bring the experience to you. If you have a youth centre, school yard, or community space with adequate ventilation or outdoor access, our mobile team will set up plastic protection and all the gear needed to transform your space into a temporary studio.

Do we need to pay in advance?

We believe in making life easy for organisers. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book with Graffitifun. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is happy with the result. This 'pay-later' policy is part of our commitment to 100% satisfaction and building trust within the Uppsala community.

What should the kids wear to the graffiti project?

We recommend that participants wear old clothes and shoes that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective overalls, graffiti can be a messy business, and spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or trainers. It’s better to be safe and dress for a creative, slightly messy adventure!

What is included in the workshop package?

We handle everything! The price includes professional artist guidance, all spray paint cans in a huge variety of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on (usually large canvases or boards). We also handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards, so you can focus entirely on the creative energy of the group.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next youth initiative in Uppsala? It’s more than just spray paint; it’s a powerful tool for social growth. Here’s why it works:

🚀 Boosts self-esteem: Seeing a giant piece of art they created themselves gives young people a massive sense of achievement.
🤝 Encourages teamwork: Our "crew" concept teaches kids how to collaborate on a single, shared goal.
🎨 Safe creative outlet: We provide a legal, structured way to explore an art form that is often misunderstood.
🔥 High engagement: Forget boring lectures—this is hands-on, fast-paced, and incredibly "cool" for teenagers.
🏆 Professional mentorship: Our artists act as positive role models, showing that passion can lead to a career.
✅ Zero risk: With our pay-after-service policy and backup artist guarantee, your event is in safe hands.

Step by step

Introduction & safety: We start with a high-energy intro and gear everyone up with masks and suits.
Sketching the vision: Participants grab markers to plan out their designs and letter styles on paper first.
Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate how to hold the can, control pressure, and create different line widths.
Practice run: The youth get hands-on time to practice "filling" and "outlining" on a practice surface.
The big concept: The group decides on a theme or a "crew name" for their collective masterpiece.
Layering the art: We move to the main surface, applying background colours and building up the layers.
Adding the details: This is where the magic happens—adding highlights, "fat" outlines, and those iconic graffiti drips.
The grand reveal: We take a group photo with the finished piece—a perfect moment for social media!
Cleanup & wrap-up: We pack up the gear, leaving the site spotless but the atmosphere buzzing with pride.

Local culture

Uppsala is a city where tradition meets a brilliant, forward-thinking youth culture. While it's famous for its ancient university and Viking history at Gamla Uppsala, the city has a pulse of modern street art that keeps it young. We love tapping into this local energy, encouraging participants to blend the old with the new in their designs. Whether we are inspired by the Fyrisån river or the local skate parks, the "Uppsala style" is always unique. 🇸🇪

Fun Fact: Did you know that Uppsala is home to several legal graffiti walls where the community is encouraged to express themselves? It’s the perfect backdrop for a youth project that connects local talent with the wider street art scene!
