Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Espoo have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to controlling pressure. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes are just part of the art. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created!

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overall suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spots. Our instructors are trained to ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. Just wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

How long does the graffiti workshop last?

Our standard cultural workshops in Espoo typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti history, a technique demonstration, individual practice, and the final creation of your group or individual mural. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can often tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What is included in the price of the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all premium spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, a board, or individual canvases). We even handle the setup and the cleanup. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some inspiration for your design!

Where in Espoo do the workshops take place?

Espoo has some fantastic locations, from the creative vibes near Aalto University in Otaniemi to various urban spots. We can host the workshop at one of our partner legal graffiti walls, or if you have a private venue with adequate space and ventilation, we can come to you! We'll coordinate the best location based on your group size and the weather forecast.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We accommodate everything from small private groups of 10 people to large-scale cultural festivals with hundreds of participants. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and a high-quality experience. No matter the size, we make sure the energy stays high and the creativity flows.

Do I need to pay in advance?

At Graffitifun, we believe in trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Espoo event. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We offer various payment methods including invoice and digital payments for your convenience. Your fun and satisfaction are guaranteed before you pay a cent!
