Frequently asked questions

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti?

Absolutely not! Our Uppsala anti-vandalism program is specifically designed to teach the difference between illegal tagging and legal street art. We focus on the ethics of public space and provide a legal, high-energy outlet for creativity. Participants learn that true skill is shown on designated walls or canvases, not on private property. It's about redirection and providing a positive alternative to destructive behaviour.

What is the age limit for participants?

For our anti-vandalism workshops, we recommend a minimum age of 10. This ensures participants can safely handle the spray cans and understand the conceptual parts of the program regarding social responsibility. However, we can adapt the session for younger groups in Uppsala if needed. It’s a great way to engage teenagers who are looking for a cool, urban way to express themselves constructively.

Is the paint and equipment safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overall suits to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise every step of the process. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints. We also conduct a safety briefing at the start of every Uppsala session to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly.

What happens if it rains in Uppsala on the day?

We are prepared for the Swedish weather! If the Uppsala forecast looks a bit grey, we often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor location using specialized low-odour water-based paints. We have several backup locations available to ensure your event goes ahead regardless of the rain. We’ll always coordinate with you to find the best solution for your group's comfort.

How long does the workshop last?

The standard program lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, but we can extend this up to 3 hours for more intensive educational sessions. This includes the introductory talk on anti-vandalism, technique practice, and the final creation of a group mural or individual pieces. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high and maintaining focus on the creative task at hand.

What specific graffiti techniques will we learn?

While we focus on the educational aspect, we don't skimp on the fun! You’ll learn 'tagging' styles (the legal way!), how to create 3D effects, 'fading' colours together, and how to use stencils. Our Uppsala artists will show you the tricks of the trade, from 'clean outlines' to 'fat cap' flares. You'll walk away with real skills that you can use on any legal street art wall.

Can you come to our specific location in Uppsala?

We are extremely flexible. We can host the workshop at a central Uppsala creative hub, a local school playground, or even at your own premises if you have a suitable outdoor space. If you don't have a spot, don't worry—we have access to various legal graffiti zones and partner venues across the city. Just let us know your preference and we will handle the logistics.
