Frequently asked questions

Is it messy, and do we need to bring our own gear?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. While we take every precaution, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or something you don't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case you get extra enthusiastic with your spray can. Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities while you're busy creating your masterpiece.

What if the kids have never done art or graffiti before?

No prior art skills are needed at all! Our Helsinki workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring that every student walks away feeling like a pro, regardless of their starting point or artistic background.

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

Helsinki weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. We have access to various indoor locations and sheltered outdoor spots across the city. If the Finnish weather isn't cooperating, we simply move the creative session to a dry, comfortable environment. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure that your scheduled school holiday activity goes ahead no matter what happens!

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops in Helsinki typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot'—it gives everyone enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their tags, and complete a full-scale graffiti piece without getting tired. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group, we can easily customise the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

How do you ensure the safety of the participants?

Safety is our number one rule. We use low-odour, professional spray paint and provide all necessary European-standard safety equipment. Our instructors are highly experienced artists who provide constant supervision. We maintain a friendly, controlled environment where everyone follows safety protocols, ensuring the only thing 'wild' about the day is the incredible artwork being created on the walls!

Can individuals sign up, or is it only for large groups?

While we primarily focus on group experiences, we often have scheduled sessions during the Helsinki school holidays that individuals can join. For the best experience, we recommend gathering a small group of friends or family, but feel free to reach out to us! We’ll check our local Helsinki calendar to see if we can slot you into an upcoming open session or event.
