Frequently asked questions

How long does a primary school graffiti workshop last?

Most primary school sessions in Helsinki last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting. We find this timeframe keeps students engaged and ensures they finish their masterpieces without feeling rushed. Longer sessions are available for larger murals or special projects.

Is it safe for primary school children to use spray paint?

Safety is our top priority! We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control. We also provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists experienced in working with children, ensuring a supervised and secure environment at all times during the Helsinki event.

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

Helsinki weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered! We can host workshops at indoor locations or use covered outdoor spaces. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule or move to a venue with overhead protection. We always have a backup plan to ensure the kids don't miss out on their creative experience.

Do we need to travel to a specific location in Helsinki?

We can come to your school playground in Helsinki, or we can host the group at one of our dedicated street art spots in the city. If we paint at your school, we take care of all the floor protection and preparation to ensure we leave no mess behind—only great memories and beautiful art!

Do the children need any prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our artist-educators will teach the children everything from basic lines and 'fills' to more advanced techniques like 3D shading. Every child will leave the workshop feeling like a true street artist, regardless of their previous art experience.

Can the students keep the art they create?

Yes! Depending on the package you choose, students can either create a large collective mural on a temporary wall or paint individual canvases that they can take home. Taking their work home is always a highlight, allowing them to show off their new skills to their families in Helsinki.

How much does a workshop for a primary school cost?

Our pricing is flexible and depends on the number of students and the workshop duration. Typically, prices range from €30 to €65 per student. We don't require upfront payments, and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For an accurate price for your specific school group, just request a custom quote!
