How it works

  1. Suit up for action: Slip into our protective overalls and grab your mask. We make sure your festival gear stays fresh while you get messy with the art!
  2. The basics of the 'can': Our pros teach you how to control the pressure, switch nozzles (caps) for different line widths, and master the 'graffiti stance'.
  3. Sketching your vision: Start with a faint 'dust' coat to map out your design on the wall or canvas. Our artists will help you with proportions and layout.
  4. Adding the fill: This is where the colour happens! Learn how to fill in large areas smoothly without those pesky drips (unless you want them for style).
  5. The power of the outline: See your piece pop as you add sharp outlines. This is the secret to making street art look professional and bold.
  6. Highlights and details: Add 'shines', 'bubbles', or 'cuts' to give your work depth and character. This is where your personal style really shines through.
  7. The final reveal: Step back, drop the can, and admire what you've built. It's time for the ultimate festival photo op with your creation!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop at the festival?

Not at all! Our Oulu music festival workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. We provide all the inspiration you need to get your creative juices flowing, so you don't need any pre-existing artistic talent to create something truly impressive.

What safety measures are in place during the festival?

Safety is our top priority while you enjoy the music. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your festival outfit clean. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in a controlled, outdoor environment. We ensure a safe distance between participants and provide clear instructions on how to use the equipment responsibly throughout the session.

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Absolutely! While we often work on a massive communal 'mural' wall that grows throughout the festival day, we also offer options for individual canvases or trucker hats. If you create a personal masterpiece on a smaller scale, it’s yours to keep as the ultimate Oulu festival souvenir! Just make sure to let it dry for a few minutes before carrying it back to the main stage.

What equipment do you provide for the festival workshop?

We are experts at logistics! We bring everything required to the festival grounds in Oulu: premium spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, nozzles (caps), protective gear, mobile graffiti walls, and cleaning supplies. All we need from the festival organisers is a flat space and some fresh air. You just need to bring your energy and a desire to spray!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our festival sessions are designed to be flexible. A standard deep-dive workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours, which is the perfect break between your favourite bands. However, we also offer 'drop-in' styles for festivals where you can contribute to a public art piece in just 15-20 minutes. We tailor the timing to fit your specific festival schedule.

Is the graffiti workshop suitable for children and families?

Yes, our workshops are a hit for all ages! We use water-based spray cans for the younger ones if requested, and our instructors are great at engaging kids and teenagers. It’s a fantastic way for families at Oulu music festivals to do something creative together. We ensure the environment is inclusive, fun, and safe for even the smallest street artists in training.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Since many Oulu festivals take place during the beautiful (but sometimes unpredictable) Finnish summer, we are always prepared. We can set up under sturdy gazebos or event tents to keep the artists and the art dry. If the weather gets truly wild, we can discuss indoor alternatives or flexible scheduling to ensure the graffiti fun still happens regardless of the clouds.
