Frequently asked questions

I've never used a spray can before, can I still participate?

Absolutely! Our street art festival experiences in Tampere are designed specifically for beginners. You don't need any previous drawing or painting skills to join in. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can to creating clean lines and fades. Most people are amazed by what they can create in just one session. Just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll handle the rest!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint and always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the street art festival workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable, especially if it’s windy! It’s best to leave your favourite designer gear at home just in case. Since Tampere weather can be changeable, dressing in layers is also a smart move for our outdoor festival sessions.

How long does the graffiti experience actually last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect because it gives you enough room to learn the basic techniques, practice your 'tagging', and complete a final piece of art without feeling rushed. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy levels stay high and creativity really starts to flow. If you have a specific schedule, we can often adapt the timing.

Do I need to pay in advance to book my spot?

No upfront payment is required when you book with Graffitifun! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the experience is complete. This makes organising group events for festivals or parties in Tampere much easier and stress-free. You can book your date and time with confidence, knowing that we are committed to delivering a 100% satisfactory experience before any money changes hands.

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

Tampere weather can be a bit 'vibrant' sometimes, but we’ve got you covered! If the forecast looks bad for an outdoor festival workshop, we have several options. We can often move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor location. Alternatively, we can reschedule the event for a better day. We also have a team of backup artists ready to go, so your event won't be cancelled due to staff illness.

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Yes! While we often work on large communal walls during festivals, we can also provide individual canvases or boards for you to paint on. If you create your masterpiece on a portable surface, you are more than welcome to take it home as a unique souvenir of your time at the Tampere street art festival. It's a fantastic way to remember the day you discovered your inner urban artist!
