Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Uppsala workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics of how to hold a spray can and move on to techniques like layering and outlining. Our professional artists stay by your side the entire time to offer tips and tricks. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and stylish. Everyone has an inner artist waiting to get out!

What should I wear to a graffiti workshop?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable shoes and 'work clothes' that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case. Street art is a hands-on activity, and while we provide the gear, a little splash of creativity is always possible!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide professional-grade respiratory protection. All our workshops in Uppsala take place in well-ventilated areas or legal outdoor spaces. Our instructors share safety briefings before any paint is sprayed, ensuring that the experience is not only fun but also completely safe for all participants.

What is included in the workshop price?

We take care of everything! Your booking includes all the necessary spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), professional instruction from a local artist, and the surface you’ll be painting on. For public art workshops, this might be a large collective wall or individual canvases that you can take home as a souvenir of your creative day.

What happens if it rains on the day?

In Uppsala, we are used to the Swedish weather! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and it rains, we usually have backup indoor locations or covered areas ready to go. We also have a large team of backup artists, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will proceed as planned. We guarantee that your creative inspiration won't be washed away by a few raindrops.

How long does a typical session last?

The standard public art workshop lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a sketching phase, and plenty of time for the actual painting. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass or a shorter teaser session for a large event, we can easily customise the duration to fit your Uppsala schedule. Just let us know your preferences!

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can start by using our online cost calculator or workshop quiz to find your perfect match. Once you're ready, send us a request. We don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in the quality of our street art sessions!

Local culture

Uppsala is a city of incredible contrasts, where the ancient Fyrisån river flows past ultra-modern university buildings. While the city is famous for its cathedral and academic history, there is a burgeoning street art scene that adds a splash of rebellious colour to the Swedish landscape. From the legal walls near the industrial zones to the hidden gems in the suburbs, graffiti is becoming an integral part of the local culture.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Uppsala is home to some of the most talented stencil artists in Sweden? The city's student population keeps the creative energy high, ensuring that there's always something new and experimental appearing on the walls! 🇸🇪

Our workshops connect you with this local vibe, teaching you the same techniques used by the artists who decorate the streets of Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmo. Come and be a part of Uppsala's living art gallery!

Pricing

Our Uppsala graffiti workshops are priced to be accessible while ensuring a premium experience. Prices generally range between 300 kr and 650 kr per person.

The final cost depends on the size of your group, the duration of the workshop, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant collective wall project. We believe in transparency and value!
