Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops in Tampere are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from how to hold a spray can to more advanced layering techniques. We focus on the fun and the process, ensuring everyone walks away with a piece of art they are proud of, regardless of their starting skill level.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, spray paint is permanent and a stray mist can sometimes find its way onto your belongings. Think of it as your 'artist outfit' for the day! Safety gear like masks is also provided for your comfort and protection.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our participants is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 respirator masks, Nitrile gloves, and protective suits. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone follows proper handling procedures.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard public and private workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides enough time for a brief history of street art, a practice session to learn 'can control', and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are organising a larger event or a specific team-building day in Tampere, we can adjust the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

Where do the workshops take place in Tampere?

In Tampere, we have access to several fantastic locations, ranging from vibrant legal graffiti walls to indoor creative studios. Depending on the weather and your group's size, we select the spot that offers the best atmosphere. If you have a specific venue in mind—perhaps for a brand activation or office party—we can often bring the workshop to you using mobile graffiti walls!

Are the workshops suitable for children?

Absolutely! We believe graffiti is for everyone. While we have specific packages for kids' parties and schools, our public workshops are generally open to all ages. For younger children (under 8), we recommend parental supervision to help with the physical force needed to press the spray caps. It is a fantastic multi-generational activity that families in Tampere love.

Can I book a private workshop for my group?

We offer a range of workshop formats to suit your needs. You can join a public session to meet new people, or book a private group workshop for your friends, family, or colleagues. We also specialise in 'walk-in' workshops for festivals and large-scale brand activations. Just let us know what you are looking for, and we will tailor the experience to your group!

Local culture

Tampere is a city that prides itself on its "Manse" identity—a unique blend of industrial heritage and modern creativity. From the red-brick factories of Finlayson to the colourful houses of Pispala, inspiration is everywhere. The city’s street art scene is particularly exciting, with legal walls like the ones at Hiedanranta becoming local landmarks for urban expression. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tampere is known as the "Sauna Capital of the World"? After a high-energy graffiti session, there is nothing more 'Tampere' than heading to a local public sauna to relax and discuss your new street art skills!

Whether we are working near the rapids of Tammerkoski or in one of the city's hidden industrial spots, the atmosphere is always authentically "Tampere"—resilient, bold, and incredibly welcoming. 🎉

Pricing

Our graffiti experiences are designed to be accessible and affordable for everyone in Tampere. Pricing typically ranges from €30 to €65 per person, inclusive of all materials and VAT.

Please note that the final price depends on your group size, the chosen location, and any customisations you might want (like painting on canvases to take home!).
