How it works
- Arrival and intro: Meet your pro artist guide at the Oulu street art spot. We'll start with a quick, high-energy intro to graffiti culture and safety.
- Gear up: Get suited and booted! We provide professional overalls, gloves, and masks so you stay clean while looking like a pro.
- Master the 'cap': Learn the difference between fat caps and skinny caps. You'll practice basic lines and dots to get a feel for the pressure.
- Sketching your tag: Before we hit the wall, you'll brainstorm your 'street name' and sketch out your design on paper with expert tips on letter structure.
- Filling and fading: Time to paint! Learn how to fill in large areas evenly and create those cool colour gradients and 'fades' that make graffiti pop.
- The outline: This is where the magic happens. We'll show you how to 'cut' your lines to make your piece look sharp and professional.
- Highlights and details: Add the finishing touches! Some white highlights and a 'second outline' (aura) will make your artwork jump off the surface.
- Photo op: Strike a pose in front of your masterpiece. It’s the perfect time to capture content for your socials.
- Clean up: We pack up the gear and leave the spot looking awesome, leaving you with incredible memories and new creative skills!

Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely! No prior drawing skills or artistic background are required for our school holiday workshops in Oulu. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We'll guide you through everything from holding the can correctly to creating 3D effects. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before and are amazed by the vibrant masterpieces they create by the end of the session.
Is the workshop safe for children and teenagers?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, protective overalls, and gloves to all participants. Our graffiti paint is professional-grade but used in a controlled, outdoor, or well-ventilated environment. Our instructors are trained to supervise groups safely, ensuring everyone follows the 'spray-safe' rules while having a blast. It’s a completely safe environment for teenagers and children to explore their creative side during their break.
What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic' splatter on. While we provide full protective body suits (overalls), paint has a funny way of finding gaps! Since Oulu weather can be unpredictable, especially during autumn or spring breaks, please dress according to the temperature. If we are at an outdoor wall, a warm jacket underneath your overalls is a great idea.
How long does a typical holiday session last?
Standard school holiday workshops in Oulu usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history lesson, technique practice on plastic film or practice walls, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep energy levels high and creativity flowing without anyone getting tired. We can also customise the duration for larger youth groups or specialized holiday programmes.
What materials are included in the price?
For our school holiday sessions, we provide everything you need! This includes professional spray cans in a wide variety of colours, different types of 'caps' (nozzles) for various spray widths, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. If the workshop is held at an official 'legal wall,' you’ll be painting directly on the concrete; otherwise, we set up professional canvases or large cellophane stretches for you to take home.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Oulu weather can be 'bracing,' to say the least! If the weather is too wet or windy for an outdoor session, we usually have indoor backup options or we can reschedule the event. Our flexible 'no-hassle' booking policy means we work with you to ensure the workshop happens in a comfortable environment. We always monitor the forecast closely in the days leading up to your scheduled graffiti adventure.
How do I book and when do I need to pay?
Booking is easy and flexible. You can request a quote through our website for your specific group size. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You can pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We make the admin side as stress-free as the painting itself!
