Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any drawing or painting experience?

No prior art skills are needed at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. Most students in Uppsala start with zero experience and leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. We break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps so that everyone feels confident and creative. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself, not about perfection.

Is the spray paint safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our biggest priority during school holiday sessions. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Additionally, our spray paints are chosen for their quality and we use low-pressure cans which are much easier and safer for younger creators to handle compared to standard hardware store paint.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy! It’s best to leave your brand-new designer trainers at home and opt for something practical so you can focus entirely on your art without worrying about a stray paint drip.

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

In Uppsala, we have access to several covered locations to ensure the workshop can proceed. If the weather is really extreme, we can usually move the session to an indoor studio or reschedule to a time that suits you. We have a team of backup artists ready to go, so we almost never cancel a session. You can count on us to keep the holiday fun going!

How long does a typical school holiday session last?

Our typical school holiday workshops last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for the introduction, practicing basic lines, sketching out ideas, and finally creating the full-scale piece. We find this is the perfect duration to keep energy levels high and creativity flowing without anyone getting tired. It’s a packed, high-energy session from start to finish.

Are materials included in the workshop price?

Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a huge variety of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces we paint on (like canvases or boards). You don't need to bring anything but your enthusiasm. We also provide professional guidance from local graffiti experts who will stay with the group throughout the entire experience.
