Why choose us in Norrkoping?
Graffiti is a powerful tool for engagement. It reaches students who might struggle with traditional art forms and gives them a platform to be loud, bold, and proud of their work. Here is why Norrköping schools love our sessions:
- Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art created by their own hands gives students an incredible sense of achievement. 🏆
- Teamwork in Action: Collaborative murals require communication, planning, and shared goals—perfect for class bonding.
- History & Culture: We don't just spray; we teach the cultural roots of street art, helping students understand the difference between vandalism and art. 📚
- Stress Relief: The tactile nature of spray painting is a fantastic way for students to decompress and express emotions visually.
- Professional Artists: Our crew consists of real street artists who live and breathe this culture, ensuring an authentic experience. ✨
- Zero Hassle: We handle all the logistics, from protective gear to the final cleanup. You just bring the students!
How it works
- Intro & Inspiration: We start with a high-energy talk about the history of graffiti, from New York subways to the walls of Norrköping.
- Safety First: Every student gets kitted out in protective suits, gloves, and professional masks while we explain the 'golden rules' of spray painting.
- Sketching the Vision: Before touching a can, students grab markers and paper to plan their tags, pieces, or characters under our guidance.
- Nozzle Mastery: We head to the wall for a demo on 'can control'—learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
- Outline & Fill: The fun begins! Students start applying their first layers of colour to their chosen surface or collaborative mural.
- Adding Pop: We teach the pros' secrets: adding 'force fields', 3D shadows, and highlights to make the artwork jump off the wall.
- The Final Outline: Students refine their work with a clean final outline, bringing the whole composition together into a finished piece.
- Gallery Talk: We wrap up with a group photo and a 'vernissage' where students explain their creative choices and celebrate their hard work.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep students and their clothes safe. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We typically host our school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones in Norrköping to ensure a healthy environment for all participants.
Where in Norrköping do the workshops take place?
We bring the street art studio to you! We can host workshops at your school premises if there is a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can organise the session at various legal graffiti walls or creative hubs around Norrköping. If the weather isn't playing ball, we can even set up mobile plastic film walls ('cellograff') in a large gym hall or sheltered area so the creativity never has to stop.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops are very flexible! A standard session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introduction to graffiti culture, sketching designs, practicing nozzle control, and finally creating a collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific school schedule or double-period to fill, we can easily adapt the timing to fit your curriculum requirements or school day structure.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for everyone! We cater to primary schools, secondary schools, and even higher education students. Generally, we recommend a minimum age of 8 years old to ensure they can handle the spray cans comfortably. For younger students, we focus more on thick lines and bold colours, while older students can dive into complex layering, 'wildstyle' lettering, and the social history of the global street art movement.
What should students wear to the graffiti workshop?
Don't worry, we've got you covered! We provide full-body protective suits, gloves, and shoe covers. However, graffiti can be a bit messy when excitement levels are high, so we always advise students to wear 'work clothes' or items they don't mind getting a stray speck of paint on. Since most sessions in Norrköping happen outdoors, it is also a good idea to dress according to the Swedish weather—layers are your best friend!
Can the students keep the art they create?
We believe in freedom of expression! Students can work on individual canvases to take home, or the class can work together on a large collaborative mural. Many schools in Norrköping choose the mural option as it creates a lasting piece of art for the school grounds or a shared memory of teamwork. We can also incorporate specific school themes, values, or local Norrköping landmarks into the design if requested.
Do we need to provide any materials?
Not at all! We provide everything required for a world-class street art experience. This includes hundreds of cans of premium spray paint in every colour of the rainbow, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, sketching materials, masks, and protective gear. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and a dash of creativity. We handle the setup, the cleanup, and the expert instruction from start to finish.
