How it works

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our professional instructors supervise the group at all times to ensure everyone uses the spray cans correctly and safely. We only use paint that meets European safety standards, making it a worry-free experience for teachers and parents alike.
Do students need any previous art skills?
No prior art experience is needed at all! Our Linköping workshops are designed for all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics, teaching students how to hold the can and control the pressure. Many students who don't think they are 'artistic' find that graffiti is a very accessible and rewarding medium. Our artists are there to guide them every step of the way until they create something they're proud of.
What is the minimum age for a school workshop?
Generally, we recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to press the spray nozzles and the coordination to follow the techniques. However, we can adapt the session for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or simplified stencil techniques. Just let us know the age group when booking, and we will tailor the curriculum to suit their developmental stage perfectly.
Where in Linköping do the workshops take place?
We are flexible! We can bring our mobile setup to your school grounds in Linköping, using large canvases or temporary wooden walls. If you’d prefer to get out of the classroom, we can often arrange sessions at local legal 'open walls' or community creative spaces. We bring all the necessary ground protection (tarps) to ensure we leave the school premises exactly as we found them—just with more inspired students!
How long does a typical workshop last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If your school schedule is tight, we can condense the session into a 90-minute 'taster' or expand it into a full-day creative project for deeper immersion.
What materials are included in the price?
We provide everything! Your booking includes all spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), canvases or boards to paint on, and the guidance of our professional artists. You don't need to worry about hidden costs or extra material fees. The only thing we suggest is that students wear old clothes and shoes, just in case they manage to get a stray paint splash!
Can the students keep their artwork?
Students can either work on individual canvases that they can take home, or we can facilitate a large-scale collaborative mural. Collaborative projects are fantastic for team building and school pride, as the final artwork can be displayed in a hallway or common area. We’ll discuss these options with you during the planning phase to see what best fits your educational goals for the day.
