  • Total creative freedom: We give kids a legal space to express themselves and discover their own unique artistic "voice" 🎤.

  • A sense of pride: There’s nothing like the "wow" moment when a group sees the finished 5-metre masterpiece they created from scratch 🌟.

How it works

  1. Safety first: Every participant gets kitted out in protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks to keep things clean and safe.
  2. Theory & history: A quick, engaging intro into the world of street art and the difference between graffiti and street art styles.
  3. Can control: Our artists demonstrate how to hold the spray can, how to control pressure, and how to create different line widths.
  4. Sketching the vision: Kids grab markers and paper to sketch out their ideas, focusing on letter structure and "the flow."
  5. Practice run: Before hitting the final wall, everyone practices their "tags" and basic shapes on exercise boards.
  6. The outline: Participants start applying their designs to the main surface using light-coloured paint to "ghost" the layout.
  7. Filling & fading: The fun part! Adding vibrant colours, gradients, and 3D effects to make the letters pop.
  8. The final outline: Re-defining the edges with a bold outline and adding those "power line" highlights for a professional look.
  9. Group photo: We celebrate the finished masterpiece with a group photo in front of the new Tampere street art!

Frequently asked questions

Do the children need any previous drawing or painting experience?

Absolutely! No prior artistic skills are needed for our Tampere summer camp workshops. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic handle control and safety before moving on to letters and filling. Most kids are shocked at how quickly they can create something that looks like professional street art!

Is spray painting safe for kids and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our spray paints are selected for their low-toxicity levels, and we always conduct our youth workshops in well-ventilated outdoor environments or large workshops spaces. Our instructors stay with the group at all times to ensure tools are used responsibly.

What happens if it rains on the day of the summer camp workshop?

Tampere weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got it covered! We have access to various sheltered outdoor locations and indoor studios throughout the city. If the forecast looks particularly bad, we typically move the session to one of our backup undercover spots so the creative fun can continue without anyone getting soaked.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Our standard summer camp sessions usually run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives the youth enough time to learn the theory, practice their 'tagging' on cardboard, and then complete a full-scale masterpiece on a wall or individual canvas. It’s the perfect duration to keep energy levels high and focus sharp without being overwhelming.

What should the participants bring with them?

We provide everything they need to get creative! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the painting surface itself. We recommend that participants wear old clothes and sneakers just in case, as spray paint can be stubborn if it gets on your favourite pair of shoes!

Can the kids take their artwork home after the session?

While we provide canvases for certain session types, our summer camp workshops often focus on large-scale collaborative murals on legal walls. However, if you would like each child to have a piece of art to take home, just let us know! We can easily arrange for individual canvases or boards so they have a permanent souvenir of their Tampere street art experience.

What is the maximum group size for a youth workshop in Tampere?

We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether you have a small youth club of 10 or a massive summer camp program with over 50 participants, we have the staff and materials to accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every child gets the personal attention and guidance they deserve.

How do we book a workshop and when do we pay?

Booking is simple and risk-free! You can request a quote through our website using our cost calculator. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. We also have backup artists available on standby, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your camp schedule.
