How it works

  1. The artistic brief: Every great piece starts with an idea. We begin with a quick intro to graffiti history and the basics of letter formation and style.
  2. Safety first: We suit you up in protective gear and show you how to use the respiratory masks and gloves correctly for a mess-free experience.
  3. The 'can control' lesson: Learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and control the pressure to create thin lines, thick fills, and fades.
  4. Sketching the outline: Use light-coloured paint to sketch your design onto the wall or canvas. Our artists are right there to help you get the proportions right.
  5. Filling in the colour: This is the fun part! Choose your palette and start filling in your piece. We’ll show you how to get those vibrant, solid colours.
  6. The power of the outline: See your art pop as we teach you how to 'cut' your lines with a sharp black or dark outline.
  7. Adding highlights and 3D: Learn the pro secrets of adding 'shine' and shadows to give your graffiti depth and character.
  8. The grand reveal: Step back and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo with your Turku street art crew!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are specifically designed for people who have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists in Turku will guide you through the basics, from safety and nozzle control to creating your first piece. We focus on fun and expression rather than perfection, ensuring everyone leaves the festival feeling like a true street artist.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray cans in a wide range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the festival setup, we also provide the surfaces—whether that’s a collective wall or individual canvases. You just need to bring your enthusiasm!

Is the spray paint safe for everyone to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to control and provide professional-grade FFP3 respiratory masks to all participants. Our Turku workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure a secure and enjoyable environment.

Is there an age limit for the festival workshop?

For our festival workshops in Turku, the minimum age is usually 6 years old. Street art is a fantastic way for kids to develop motor skills and confidence. We provide smaller gloves and extra supervision for younger artists to ensure they have a blast while staying safe. It’s a great family-friendly activity!

How many people can join the workshop at once?

The beauty of our street art festival experience is its flexibility. We can accommodate small groups of 10 or massive festival crowds of 500+ people. We have a large team of backup artists in Finland to ensure that no matter how big your event grows, we have the staff to keep the creativity flowing.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective suits, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or items you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Spray paint is permanent, and while the overalls cover most of you, there's always a chance of a stray drip. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes so you can move around your masterpiece easily!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard introductory session at a festival usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a final piece. If you're looking for something shorter or a full-day 'drop-in' style activation for a public event, we can easily customise the timing.

What makes the festival experience different from a private workshop?

Participating in a graffiti workshop at a festival is all about the social vibe and the 'wow' factor of the finished wall. Unlike a private lesson, you get to see a massive collaborative project come to life. It’s high-energy, features live music usually, and allows you to meet other creative locals in Turku.
