Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior drawing or art experience?

Absolutely not! Our Helsinki workshops are designed for everyone from total 'newbies' to seasoned creatives. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our pro artists will guide you through the basics, from nozzle control to layering colours, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you're actually proud of. It's all about the experience and having a blast!

What should I bring to the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the perfect street art session in Helsinki. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. Just bring yourself, some comfortable shoes, and your creative energy!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gear for all participants. Our artists are trained professionals who oversee the entire process, ensuring a safe, ventilated environment where everyone can get creative without any worries.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Helsinki weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered! We have access to several indoor locations and sheltered spots across the city. If the Finnish weather decides to turn, we can easily move the workshop to a dry, comfortable setting so your kreative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of rain or snow.

How long does a typical session last?

Helsinki sessions typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, some practice runs on cardboard or practice walls, and then the final creation of your masterpiece. We don't like to rush the process – we want you to fully immerse yourself in the street art culture!

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams?

We are super flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends or a large corporate team from a Helsinki tech firm, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough 1-on-1 guidance. There’s no group too big for a Graffitifun experience.

Do I need to pay in advance?

Nope! One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking in Helsinki. We trust our customers and want the booking process to be as stress-free as possible. You simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied.
