Why choose us in Aarhus?

Choosing a graffiti workshop for your summer programme is a fantastic way to boost confidence and teamwork. Here is why our Aarhus sessions stand out:

  • Professional artists: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe the culture.
  • Zero risk: No upfront payment required; you only pay after the workshop is finished.
  • Full service: We handle everything from safety gear to the final clean-up.
  • Confidence building: Watch kids transform from "I can't draw" to "I created this" in just a few hours.
  • Team spirit: Large-scale murals encourage participants to work together and communicate.
  • Memorable keepsakes: Every participant takes home their own canvas or a piece of collective art.

How it works

  1. Introduction and safety: We start with a warm welcome and a briefing on how to use the equipment safely, including masks and gloves.
  2. History and culture: A quick, engaging talk about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into the modern street art we see in Aarhus today.
  3. The first spray: Participants learn 'can control'—how to hold the can, manage pressure, and create different line widths.
  4. Sketching ideas: Everyone gets a chance to draw their design on paper, planning out colours and shapes before hitting the wall.
  5. Tagging and lettering: We teach the basics of 'tags' and 'throw-ups', helping kids find their unique artist name.
  6. Fill-in and outline: Participants start painting their main piece, learning how to fill colours smoothly and add sharp outlines.
  7. Shadows and highlights: Our artists show how to add 3D effects and 'light' to make the artwork pop off the surface.
  8. The finishing touches: Adding details, stars, or 'second outlines' to create a professional-looking masterpiece.
  9. Group gallery: We finish with a photo session where everyone can show off their work and take home their individual creations.

Frequently asked questions

Do participants need any previous drawing or painting skills?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to join our summer camp in Aarhus. Our professional artists are expert mentors who specialise in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of spray can control and safety before moving on to complex techniques. By the end of the session, every participant will have created something they are truly proud of. It is all about discovering your own style in a supportive environment.

Is the graffiti summer camp safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls, to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal graffiti zones. Our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the group closely, teaching the correct way to handle equipment while maintaining a fun, respectful, and secure atmosphere for all young creatives.

What should my child wear and bring to the workshop?

Participants should wear comfortable clothing and shoes that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! It is also wise to check the Aarhus weather forecast; if we are outdoors, bring a jacket or sunscreen depending on the day. We provide all the professional materials, including spray cans, caps, and canvases.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard summer camp session in Aarhus typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques on plastic wrap or test boards, and finally complete a full-scale masterpiece. For larger camp programmes, we can also offer multi-day sessions or full-day intensives. This ensures everyone has enough time to perfect their tags and pieces without feeling rushed.

Do I need to pay in advance to secure a booking?

We believe in a stress-free booking process. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your summer camp date with Graffitifun. Payment is only required after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives you peace of mind and ensures that we are 100% committed to delivering an amazing experience for your group. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event never gets cancelled.

Can you host the workshop at our specific summer camp location?

Yes, we love making summer camps mobile! While we have amazing spots in Aarhus, we can also bring the graffiti experience directly to your campsite, school, or youth centre. We use mobile graffiti walls or temporary film stretches to create a professional workspace anywhere. As long as there is a suitable outdoor space with enough ventilation, we can set up our creative workshop right at your doorstep.

What is the age limit for the graffiti workshops?

Our graffiti summer camps are primarily designed for youth and teenagers, usually ranging from ages 8 to 18. However, we are very flexible and can adapt our teaching methods to suit different age groups. For younger children, we focus more on play and simple shapes, while older teens can dive deep into complex lettering, 3D effects, and stencil work. We ensure every participant gets age-appropriate guidance and challenges.
