How it works

  1. Introduction and inspiration: We start with a brief history of street art and look at some famous examples to get the creative juices flowing.
  2. Gear up: Every participant gets kitted out in professional protective gear, including suits and masks, to stay clean and safe.
  3. Sketching your ideas: Before touching the cans, we grab markers and paper to plan out tags, throw-ups, and piece designs.
  4. Can control basics: Our artists teach you how to hold the spray can, how to control the pressure, and how to create thin vs. thick lines.
  5. Colour and filling: Learn the secrets of gradients, fades, and how to fill in large areas efficiently without drips.
  6. The outline: This is where the magic happens! We show you how to pull crisp outlines to make your letters pop.
  7. Highlights and details: Add the final "shine" with highlights and shadows that give your artwork a 3D effect.
  8. The big reveal: Step back and admire the collective work or individual pieces. We take high-quality photos to remember the day.
  9. Clean up: We ensure the area is left tidy and explain the importance of respecting public spaces and legal mural spots.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Our Bergen graffiti workshops are designed with safety as our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. All sessions are led by experienced professionals who supervise the use of spray cans and ensure everyone follows proper safety protocols. We use low-odour, high-quality paint to minimise fumes, creating a safe environment for all participants.

Do we need any previous art experience to join?

No prior artistic experience or "talent" is required! Our workshops are designed to take beginners from zero to hero in just one session. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from basic lines to advanced shading. Whether you are a natural at drawing or haven't picked up a pen in years, we guarantee you will leave with a piece of art you're proud of.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Bergen is known for its rain, but that doesn't stop the creativity! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across the city where we can run our after-school programs. If your specific school or youth club has a covered outdoor area, we can often work there too. We always have a backup plan ready so that the workshop can go ahead regardless of the Norwegian weather.

How long does a typical after-school session last?

Generally, our after-school sessions last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of the main piece. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit your school's schedule or the specific needs of your youth group. Just let us know your timeframe when booking!

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything needed for a successful street art session. This includes all professional spray paint (a wide range of colours), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the "canvas" (which could be boards, a designated wall, or plastic wrap). The only thing participants need to bring is their enthusiasm and clothes they don't mind getting a little bit of dust on.

How much does an after-school graffiti workshop cost?

Our pricing in Bergen typically ranges from kr300 to kr650 per person. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials used. We aim to make these sessions accessible for local schools and community groups, so we always recommend requesting a custom quote to get the best possible rate for your specific size.

Do we have to pay in advance?

We understand that school and youth group schedules can change. One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments. You pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. This removes the financial risk and makes the administrative process much easier for teachers and youth leaders in Bergen.
