How it works

  1. Warm welcome and intro: Meet your pro graffiti artist at the designated Tampere location and get a quick rundown of the day’s creative flow.
  2. Gear up for safety: We suit everyone up in protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks to keep the vibes clean and safe.
  3. Concept brainstorming: Spend some time as a group or individual sketching ideas and choosing a colour palette that fits your retreat theme.
  4. Spray tech 101: Learn the essential "can-control" moves—lines, dots, fades, and how to manage pressure like a pro.
  5. Practising your flow: Get comfortable on practice boards, feeling the rhythm of the spray and letting your artistic inhibions melt away.
  6. The main event: It's time to hit the canvas! Start layering your background and blocking in your main shapes.
  7. Details and "pop": Add those crisp outlines, highlights, and 3D effects that make street art truly stand out.
  8. Group gallery show: Step back and admire the collective work of the group while snapping some epic photos of your masterpieces.
  9. Cleanup and wrap-up: We handle all the messy bits, leaving you energised and inspired by your newfound skills.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Tampere retreat workshops are designed for everyone, from people who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. It’s all about letting go of perfectionism and enjoying the creative process in a supportive, relaxed environment. You'll be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a successful creative retreat. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and respiratory masks for your safety. We also provide the canvases or wall space for your masterpieces. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. We take care of the setup and the cleanup!

How long does a typical retreat session last?

A typical graffiti retreat workshop in Tampere lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final piece. If you’re looking for a more intensive full-day retreat experience, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your group's specific schedule and goals. Just let us know what you're looking for!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure no one breathes in fumes, along with protective gloves and suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, often outdoors near Tampere’s beautiful industrial sites or dedicated legal walls. Our instructors are experienced professionals who oversee the entire process to ensure a safe, fun, and responsible environment for all participants.

Can you host the workshop at our chosen retreat venue?

We are very flexible! While we have several fantastic locations around Tampere that work perfectly for street art, we can also bring the workshop to you if you have a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area. We often work with local hotels and retreat centres in the Pirkanmaa region. If you have a specific venue in mind, just let us know and we’ll check if it’s feasible for a graffiti session.

What happens if we need to cancel or change our booking?

No problem at all! At Graffitifun, we understand that plans can change. We have a team of backup artists available to ensure your workshop goes ahead even if an instructor falls ill. Plus, we don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete. This gives you total peace of mind when booking your creative retreat in Tampere. Your satisfaction and fun are our guarantees!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We can accommodate almost any group size! Whether you are a small group of friends on a private getaway or a large corporate team looking for a unique retreat activity, we’ve got you covered. Pricing is tiered based on the number of participants, so larger groups often benefit from a lower per-person rate. Tell us your group size, and we will create a custom plan that ensures everyone gets plenty of "can-time."
