How it works
- Intro and history: We start with a high-energy intro about the roots of street art and how it evolved from the streets of NYC to the galleries of Espoo.
- Safety briefing: Students get kitted out in their gear while we explain the importance of masks, gloves, and 'can control'.
- Sketching phase: Every student grabs a sketchbook to map out their ideas, tags, and 'wildstyle' letters before touching a can.
- The first spray: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn basic techniques like flares, thin lines, and solid fills.
- Wall or canvas work: Whether it's a huge collaborative mural or individual pieces, the real painting begins as the students apply their designs.
- Adding the details: We teach them the secrets of 3D effects, highlights, and 'force fields' to make their artwork pop.
- Final reveal: The group takes a step back to admire the collective masterpiece and snap some epic photos for the school social media.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical workshop last for a school group?
Our workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for secondary school students—it's long enough to learn the technical skills and complete a high-quality piece of art, but fast-paced enough to keep everyone's energy levels high. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your specific double-block periods or school day schedules without a hitch.
Is it safe for teenagers to use spray cans?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student to wear. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and supervise the use of spray cans at all times. We generally recommend hosting the workshop outdoors or in a very well-ventilated space to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all the teenagers involved.
What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?
Actually, no! While the Finnish weather can be a bit unpredictable, we have plenty of solutions. We can work under gazebos, use indoor-safe water-based paints if the venue allows, or schedule a backup date. We also have a large network of backup artists to ensure your workshop goes ahead as planned. We're used to the Espoo climate and always have a Plan B ready to go.
Does this encourage students to spray on walls illegally?
Not at all. We teach the students that street art is a form of creative expression that requires permission and respect for public spaces. By giving them a legal outlet for their creativity, we actually find it reduces illegal tagging. We focus on the history, the technique, and the discipline required to create something beautiful, promoting art as a positive contribution to the Espoo community.
Do we need to pay in advance to book a session?
We believe in a stress-free experience for schools, so we don't require any upfront payment. You can book your date with confidence, and we will handle the invoicing after the workshop is completed. This makes the administration process much easier for school departments. Plus, if you need a cost estimate immediately, you can use our online Cost Calculator to get a tailored price for your group size.
What are the costs for a workshop in Espoo?
Our pricing usually ranges from €30 to €65 per student, depending on the total number of participants and the specific setup (like whether we are painting a permanent wall or individual canvases). We offer competitive rates for larger school groups and provide all materials including paint, caps, and safety gear. For a precise figure, just hit the 'request a quote' button and we'll get back to you!
Can the workshop take place on our school campus?
We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Espoo, or we can arrange a session at one of the local legal graffiti walls if you fancy a field trip. We bring all the necessary equipment, boards, and protective gear with us, so as long as we have a bit of space and ventilation, we can turn almost any area into a street art studio.
