What should I wear to a graffiti workshop in Oulu?

Wear old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a splash of paint on! While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is a messy art form, and spray mist can sometimes travel. Think 'painting the garage' vibes rather than 'red carpet' attire. We provide all the professional gear to keep you as clean as possible while you let your creativity run wild 🎨.

Do I need any previous art experience?

Absolutely not! Our Oulu workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with the right guidance. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment ✨.

Is spray painting safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We use professional-grade low-pressure cans which are much easier (and safer) for beginners to control than standard industrial spray paints.

How long does a typical workshop last?

The duration usually ranges between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice on the walls, and the completion of your final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to get into the flow without getting too tired. We can also customise the timing for specific event needs!

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We host workshops for small private groups of around 10 people, all the way up to large scale public activations or corporate events with 100+ participants. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. No matter the size of your squad, we can make it work comfortably 🏆.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Oulu weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the weather is too 'Finnish' (very heavy rain or extreme cold), we have access to indoor locations or we can use sheltered outdoor spots. We always monitor the forecast closely and stay in touch with you to ensure the workshop goes ahead smoothly, regardless of what the Arctic sky is doing!

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and involves zero risk. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply fill out our contact form or used the cost calculator to get an estimate. Once we've agreed on the details and date, your spot is reserved. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. It’s all about trust and ensuring you have a great time first.

Step by step

The warm-up: Meet your pro artist and get a crash course in graffiti history and the local Oulu urban art scene.
Gear up: Put on your protective suit, gloves, and mask. Safety first, style second!
Can control: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, from different nozzles (caps) to controlling pressure and distance.
Lines and shapes: Practise basic strokes, dots, and flares on your own section of the wall to get a feel for the paint.
Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light paint to map out your design, whether it's a classic 'tag' or a complex piece.
Fill-ins and fades: Learn how to fill your shapes with vibrant colours and create smooth gradients and 'fades'.
The outline: Master the art of the 'cut'—re-lining your piece to make the colours pop and the shapes sharp.
Highlights and details: Add those final 'shines' and 3D effects that take a piece from amateur to pro.
The big reveal: Step back, admire your collective masterpiece, and snap some epic photos for the 'gram!

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Oulu might be known as a high-tech hub and the 'capital of Northern Scandinavia', but beneath its tech-savvy exterior lies a thriving underground creative pulse. From the murals decorating the underpasses near the railway station to the temporary legal walls that pop up during the summer months, the city embraces the contrast between its pristine nature and urban grit. Painting here offers a unique atmosphere, especially during the long light of the 'Midnight Sun' or the crisp, snowy air of winter.

Fun Fact: Oulu is world-famous for the Air Guitar World Championships. Much like air guitar, graffiti is all about rhythm, attitude, and expressing yourself without boundaries! 🎸

Our workshops often draw inspiration from the local surroundings—incorporating the sharp lines of modern Finnish architecture or the wild beauty of the Bothnian Bay into contemporary street art styles.
