How it works

  1. The introduction: Our artist meets the class and explains the history of street art and the 'code' of graffiti culture in a fun, age-appropriate way.
  2. Safety first: Every student gets kitted out with gloves and protective masks. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly! 🛡️
  3. Sketching the dream: Kids grab markers and paper to plan their designs. This helps them understand layers and shapes before the paint comes out.
  4. Can control 101: We start with 'the basics'—dots, lines, and flares. We teach them how distance from the wall changes the spray pattern.
  5. The group mural: Working together, the class starts filling in the 'pieces'. This is where teamwork really shines as they coordinate colours.
  6. The finishing touches: Our artist helps the students with 'outlining' and 'highlighting' to make their graffiti pop and look professional.
  7. The grand reveal: We step back, take photos of the masterpiece, and celebrate the incredible artwork the kids have created together! 🎉

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical primary school workshop last?

Most primary school workshops in Tampere last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of theory, practice, and 'free play' without the students losing focus. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or double-period slots. If you have a larger group and want to rotate classes, we can also host multiple shorter back-to-back sessions throughout the school day.

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

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, for every student. We also use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control. All workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal spaces. Our professional artists are experienced in supervising children and ensure that the 'rules of the wall' are followed at all times for a safe, creative environment.

Can you bring the workshop directly to our school in Tampere?

Absolutely! We are completely mobile and love coming to schools. If you have a suitable outdoor wall, a large paved area, or even a fence we can cover with plastic, we can set up right on your playground. This makes logistics much easier for teachers and keeps the kids in a familiar environment. Alternatively, we can help arrange a trip to one of Tampere's legal graffiti walls for the full 'street' experience.

Will the children get paint on their clothes or school equipment?

Don't worry about the mess! We provide protective overalls or ponchos for the students to wear over their clothes. While we recommend kids don't wear their absolute favourite designer shoes that day (just in case!), our setup includes floor coverings and protective gear to ensure the paint stays on the canvas or wall, not on the students' school uniforms or the playground tiles.

Do the students need any prior art experience or talent?

Not at all. Our graffiti workshops are designed for all skill levels. Most children have never touched a spray can before, and that's exactly why we're here! We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw a simple line. Our artists guide them every step of the way, ensuring every child feels like a pro by the end.

What is the cost for a large group of students?

The cost varies depending on the number of students, the duration of the session, and the amount of materials needed. In Tampere, prices typically range from €30 to €65 per student. We are very flexible and can offer special rates for full year groups or multiple classes. We recommend using our online cost calculator or requesting a custom quote so we can provide the best possible price for your specific school budget.

What happens if we aren't happy with the workshop?

At Graffitifun, we believe in the 'fun is guaranteed' motto. If for some reason the workshop doesn't meet your expectations, we want to know. We have a 100% satisfaction focus and will work with you to make it right. Plus, we always have backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your school event in Tampere will go ahead as planned without any stressful cancellations.
