Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior painting or drawing experience is required for our school holiday workshops in Tampere. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic spray can control and work our way up to more complex techniques. Most participants are amazed at what they can create in just a couple of hours. It’s all about having fun and being creative in a relaxed environment!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure everyone stays clean and breathes easy. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and safety standards. Additionally, our instructors are highly experienced in managing groups and will provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We make sure the environment is controlled, professional, and totally safe for all ages.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide overall protection and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! Thinking about footwear is also a good idea—avoid your brand-new white trainers just in case. Since Tampere weather can be unpredictable, if we are working in a semi-outdoor space, bring an extra layer to stay warm while you create your masterpiece.

How long does a typical session last?

Our school holiday workshops in Tampere usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, a demo from our pro artists, practice sessions, and the creation of your final artwork. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus while ensuring everyone goes home with a piece of art they are truly proud of. Time flies when you're having fun!

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (gloves, masks, and coveralls), and the 'canvas'—whether that’s a professional board, a wall space, or a canvas to take home. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a few ideas for what you'd like to paint!

How does the payment process work?

We are very flexible! You don’t need to worry about upfront payments when booking your school holiday spot. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed. We accept various payment methods, and if you need an invoice for a larger group or organisation, we can easily arrange that too. Our goal is to make the booking process as stress-free as your painting session.

Can the workshop take place at a location of my choice?

While we usually have a set location in Tampere known for its creative vibe, we are mobile! If you have a specific venue in mind or want us to come to a local community centre, we can often make it happen. Just let us know your preferences when you request a quote, and we’ll check the local regulations and space requirements to see if we can bring the graffiti gallery to you.
