Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?
Absolutely! No prior painting experience is needed for our school holiday workshops in Espoo. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with the basics of can control and safety before moving on to creative techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they are always amazed at the high-quality art they produce by the end of the session!
Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teens?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and overalls, to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the group throughout the entire session. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal graffiti spots in Espoo. We ensure every participant understands how to use the equipment responsibly while having a blast.
What should we wear to the workshop?
While we provide protective overalls and gloves, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or items you don’t mind getting a little paint on. Spray paint is permanent and can occasionally find its way onto shoes or sleeves despite our best efforts! Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are a must. Since many of our Espoo locations are outdoors, please dress according to the Finnish weather—layers are your best friend!
How long does the graffiti experience last?
Our standard school holiday workshops typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn techniques and complete a full masterpiece. We find this duration works best for both kids and teens, ensuring they stay engaged and creative from the first spray to the final photo op!
Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?
We believe in total flexibility! At Graffitifun, we don't require upfront payments for our workshops. You can book your spot and pay after the session is complete. We want you to feel confident and excited about your booking without any financial stress. If your plans change, just let us know—we're here to make your school holiday as smooth as possible.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
We usually operate rain or shine! Many of our Espoo locations have covered areas to keep us dry. However, if the weather is truly extreme, we have a backup plan. Thanks to our large network of artists, we can often reschedule or move to an alternative indoor-friendly setup. We’ll always communicate with you to ensure the workshop happens in a fun and safe environment.
Where exactly in Espoo do the workshops take place?
In Espoo, we can host workshops at various legal street art walls or at a location of your choice if you have a suitable space. Popular spots include areas near local youth centres or urban creative hubs. Once you book, we provide clear directions to the specific meeting point. We can also come to your school or community centre if you’re organizing a larger group event during the holidays!
