Safety First: Students suit up in protective gear and receive a briefing on how to handle spray cans responsibly and safely.
The Basics: Our pros demonstrate essential techniques—lines, dots, and how to control 'the drip'.

First Sprays: Everyone gets their own space to practice their 'hand-style' and get comfortable with the pressure of the spray nozzle.
Filling & Fading: We teach the secrets of colour transitions and how to fill large areas smoothly for that professional look.
Outline & Detail: The most satisfying part! Students add the 'power-line' and highlights to make their artwork pop.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep students safe and their clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before any cans are sprayed. We use low-odour professional spray paint designed for outdoor use. Whether we are at your school grounds or a local wall in Tampere, we maintain a strictly controlled and safe environment for everyone.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard workshops for secondary schools in Tampere usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before we create the final masterpiece. If you have specific curriculum needs or a shorter assembly period, we can definitely adjust the timing to fit your school's timetable perfectly. Just let us know your requirements!

What materials do we need to provide?

We take care of everything! Graffitifun provides all the professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (masks, suits, and gloves), and the 'canvas'—whether that is large wooden panels, a temporary stretch-film wall, or an actual designated graffiti wall. We even bring sketching materials so students can plan their designs. You just need to provide the space and the enthusiastic students ready to learn!

Do students need to have prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to budding artists. Our instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps: from how to hold the can and control the pressure to creating shadows and highlights. We find that even students who claim they 'can't draw' end up creating incredible work once they learn the basic 'tricks' of the graffiti trade.

Can the workshop be combined with a specific school subject?

Yes, we can! We love integrating our workshops into the Finnish 'Laaja-alainen osaaminen' (transversal competences) or specific subjects like Visual Arts, History, or Social Studies. We can focus on themes like community, local Tampere history, or environmental awareness. Graffiti is a fantastic way to discuss legal vs. illegal art, urban planning, and self-expression in a modern society. It is education that students will actually remember for years to come.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Not a problem! We have a 'backup artist' system in place to ensure your workshop always goes ahead. In the event of typical Tampere rain, we can set up undercover areas using pop-up tents, or we can move the workshop indoors (provided there is adequate ventilation and we use specific water-based paints or focus on canvas work). We are flexible and always have a Plan B to ensure the kids don't miss out.

How does the payment process work for schools?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, so we don't require upfront payments. You can book your date and confirm the details with us, and we will handle the invoicing after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the process much smoother for school administration and finance departments. Our goal is 100% satisfaction—if the students are happy and inspired, we have done our job right!
