How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety Briefing: We start with a warm welcome and hand out protective gear. Kids get briefed on how to use the equipment safely and responsibly.
  2. The Art of the Tag: Our artists demonstrate basic lettering and 'tagging' styles, explaining the history and culture of street art in a fun, accessible way.
  3. Can Control Practice: Participants grab their first cans to practice 'nozzle control' on practice boards, learning how to make thin lines, thick fills, and cool fades.
  4. Sketching the Concept: Using paper or tablets, the group brainstorms a theme or individual designs, planning out their colours and shapes before hitting the main surface.
  5. Filling & Fading: The real fun begins! Everyone starts filling in their large-scale designs with vibrant colours, learning blending techniques as they go.
  6. Outlining & Detailing: We teach how to 'pop' the artwork using sharp outlines and highlights, making the graffiti look professional and sharp.
  7. The Grand Reveal: We take a step back to admire the collective masterpiece or individual canvases, often followed by a group photo session to capture the memories.
  8. Clean Up & Wrap Up: We finish by tidying the area and discussing what everyone learned, leaving the site exactly as we found it (minus the beautiful new art!).

Frequently asked questions

Is any previous drawing or painting experience needed?

Absolutely! Our graffiti summer camp activities in Oulu are designed for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps, ensuring every child feels confident and creates something they are proud of by the end of the session. It's all about the experience and having a blast!

How do you ensure the safety of the children during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, as well as protective overalls and gloves to keep clothes clean. All workshops are supervised by experienced instructors who teach proper can handling and safety protocols. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that all youth participants are monitored closely throughout the entire creative process.

What should the participants wear to the summer camp?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy! Since Oulu's summer weather can be unpredictable, it's also a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater if we are working in a covered outdoor area. Comfort is key to great art!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard summer camp sessions usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn the basics, practice techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. If your camp schedule requires a different format, we are happy to adjust the duration to fit your specific needs and timeline.

What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?

For summer camps in Oulu, we generally host groups of 10 to 30 participants per session to ensure everyone gets individual attention. However, we have a large team of backup artists in Finland, so we can easily accommodate much larger groups by bringing in extra instructors. Whether it's a small local club or a massive city-wide youth program, we've got you covered!

Do we need to pay for the workshop in advance?

We believe in the quality of our service, which is why we don't require upfront payments. You can book the summer camp activity now and handle the payment after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before the transaction is finalised. It's our way of making the process stress-free for camp organisers.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

We are very flexible! If the weather in Oulu turns particularly rainy, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or an indoor location with proper ventilation. Because we have multiple artists available, we also have the reliability to ensure your event goes ahead even if there are unforeseen staff changes. Your creative plans are safe with us!
