Why choose us in Turku?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Turku summer camp? It’s more than just painting; it's an immersive experience that resonates with today’s youth. Here is why it works: 💪

  • Unleash raw creativity: Graffiti removes the "rules" of traditional art, allowing kids to express themselves freely.
  • Team building: Collaborative murals require communication, planning, and teamwork to look awesome.
  • New skills: Learning can control and spatial awareness gives a massive boost to motor skills and confidence.
  • Zero stress for you: We handle the setup, the teaching, and the cleanup—you just watch the kids have the time of their lives!
  • Professional vibes: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active street artists who bring real-world street cred to the workshop. 🔥

How it works

  1. Intro and history: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about the culture of street art and the evolution of graffiti from the streets to the galleries.
  2. Safety first: Everyone gets geared up in protective suits, masks, and gloves while our pros explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
  3. Mastering the can: Before hitting the wall, we teach 'can control'—how to hold the spray, adjust pressure, and create different line widths.
  4. Sketching the vision: Participants grab markers and paper to plan their tags or pieces, choosing colours and styles that represent their personality.
  5. The first lines: Guided by our artists, the kids start sketching their designs onto the wall or canvas using light 'phantom' lines.
  6. Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! We teach how to fill in shapes smoothly and create those iconic graffiti gradients.
  7. The outline and highlights: We add sharp outlines to make the art pop and finish with 'shines' and 'powerlines' for that professional look.
  8. Final reveal and photos: After the paint dries, we take group photos of the incredible mural or individual masterpieces to capture the memories.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti summer camp activity safe for teenagers?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who have years of experience working with youth. They provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a controlled, respectful, and super fun environment for every participant throughout the summer camp session.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Turku summer camp activities are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student has never held a spray can before or they are already a sketching pro, our artists provide step-by-step guidance. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, teaching the basics of lines, filling, and highlights so that everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy when everyone is getting creative! If it's a sunny day in Turku, don't forget some sunscreen and a water bottle, as we'll be active and outdoors for most of the workshop.

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

While we love the beautiful Finnish summer, we are always prepared for the Turku rain! We have access to various covered outdoor locations and indoor spaces where we can continue the creative flow without getting soaked. We also have a large pool of backup artists, so your booking is guaranteed to go ahead regardless of individual staff scheduling changes.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

The creative process usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes the initial safety briefing, a crash course in graffiti history and techniques, sketching out the design, and the final spray-painting session. It’s the perfect length to keep energy levels high and ensure every young artist has enough time to perfect their masterpiece without feeling rushed.

Can the students take their artwork home with them?

Absolutely! We offer flexible packages where kids can work together on a massive temporary wall or create individual pieces on high-quality canvases that they can take home. Taking a canvas home is a popular choice for summer camps in Turku as it serves as a permanent souvenir of their creative summer experience. Just let us know your preference when booking!
