How it works
- Introduction & History: We start with a bang! Our artists share the exciting evolution of graffiti from New York subways to world-class galleries.
- Safety Briefing: We suit up in our protective gear. Students learn how to use masks and gloves properly to keep the session safe and clean.
- Can Control: Before the art starts, we master the tool. Students learn about different nozzles (caps) and how to control pressure and distance.
- Sketching the Vision: Every great piece starts with a plan. We help students sketch their ideas on paper, focusing on letter structure and composition.
- The First Lines: It's time to spray! Students move to the wall (or canvas) to lay down their first lines under the guidance of our pros.
- Filling & Fading: This is where the magic happens. We teach students how to fill shapes with vibrant colours and create smooth gradients.
- Highlights & Outlines: The finishing touches! We add 'pops' of white for highlights and sharp black outlines to make the artwork stand out.
- Group Review: We take a step back to admire the collective work. It’s a moment of pride and a great opportunity for a group photo!
- Clean Up: We ensure the site is left spotless, teaching the students that being a real artist means respecting the environment.

Frequently asked questions
Do the students need any prior art experience?
No experience is needed at all! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of can control and safety before moving on to artistic techniques. Students are often surprised by what they can create in just one session. Our goal is to boost their confidence and show them that everyone has a creative spark waiting to be unleashed through street art.
Is the spray paint safe for school children?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our workshops usually take place outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that everyone follows the safety protocols throughout the entire creative process.
Where in Lahti do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school (on a temporary wall, plastic film, or canvases) if you have a suitable outdoor space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of Lahti's legal graffiti walls. We'll handle the logistics to ensure the location is safe, accessible, and ready for some serious spraying.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of graffiti, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have specific scheduling needs or shorter lesson blocks, just let us know and we can adapt the programme to fit your school's timetable.
What materials do we need to provide?
We've got you covered! We provide everything: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We can paint on a large communal plastic wall that gets recycled, or individual canvases that students can take home. The only thing the school needs to provide is an enthusiastic group of students ready to learn!
What is the recommended age for school workshops?
Our workshops are ideal for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow safety instructions. We can also tailor the complexity of the art theory and techniques based on whether we are working with primary school groups, secondary school students, or college-level art classes.
Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?
Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'Sustainability', 'Unity', or 'Local History'. Our artists can help the students design a mural that reflects these values. It’s a fantastic way to integrate the workshop into your existing curriculum and create a lasting memory (or a physical piece of art) that represents the school's identity.
