How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a fun intro about street art history and a full safety briefing on how to use the gear 🛡️.
- The Masterclass: Our artists demonstrate essential spray-can techniques, from 'fats' to 'skinnies' and smooth gradients.
- Sketching Ideas: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their tags and designs, planning their contribution to the wall.
- Practice Rounds: Each child gets their own space on the practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and flow of the paint.
- Outlining the Mural: Together, we sketch the giant "masterpiece" outline on the main surface—usually a school theme or a positive message!
- Filling in the Colours: This is the best part! The kids work together to fill the mural with vibrant colours and funky patterns 🎨.
- Adding the Details: We teach them how to add 'highlights' and '3D shadows' to make their artwork pop off the wall.
- The Big Reveal: We step back to admire the finished community mural—a perfect photo opportunity for the school newsletter.
- Clean Up & Wrap: We pack up all the gear, leaving the site spotless, while the kids go home with huge smiles and new skills.

Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?
Safety is our absolute top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits. Our instructors are professional artists experienced in working with primary-aged children, ensuring a supervised environment where kids can explore their creativity without risks. We also choose outdoor or well-ventilated locations in Oulu to ensure clean air throughout the session.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics, like how to hold a can and draw a simple line. Our 'learning by doing' approach means children pick up the skills naturally as they play. By the end of the session, even the kids who claim they 'can’t draw' are always amazed by the professional-looking mural they’ve helped create together.
What should the students wear to the workshop?
We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide full protective 'tyvek' suits and gloves, sometimes a little 'artistic' splash can find its way onto a sleeve or a shoe. Since Oulu weather can be unpredictable, we also suggest dressing in layers so the kids stay comfortable while working outdoors.
How long does a typical school session last?
The workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. For primary schools, we find that 2 hours is the 'sweet spot'—it’s long enough to learn the techniques and complete a large-scale project, but fast-paced enough to keep the children’s energy and focus high from start to finish. We can always adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable.
What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or a whole year group of 60+, we can make it work. For very large groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every child gets personal attention and guidance. We maintain a high teacher-to-student ratio so that the experience remains high-quality and safe for everyone involved.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
In the spirit of northern Finland, we don't let a little drizzle stop us! We usually work under cover or use gazebos if there's light rain. However, if the weather in Oulu turns particularly nasty, we have backup plans. We can move the session indoors to a well-ventilated space using water-based paint markers/canvases, or we can reschedule the event to a better day at no extra cost.
