How it works

- The First Lines: After a demonstration, students grab their first cans to practice basic techniques like dots, lines, and fades on practice walls.
- Sketching Your Idea: We help students translate their thoughts into a 'piece'—focusing on letter structure, 3D effects, and character design.
- Filling & Colouring: This is where the magic happens! Students learn how to layer colours and create vibrant fills for their designs.
- The Outlining: Our artists teach the 'cut-back' technique, showing how to sharpen those edges for a crisp, professional look.
- Adding Highlights & Details: We add those final pops of white and 'flares' that really make the artwork stand out from the background.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! Performance and safety are our top priorities. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to manage groups safely, and we use low-odour professional spray paint. We also conduct a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a secure environment for all participants to enjoy their creative journey in Oslo.
Do students need prior artistic experience?
The beauty of street art is its accessibility! We cater to all skill levels, from those who have never held a spray can to budding young artists. Our instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps, ensuring every student feels a sense of achievement. We focus on 'controlled creative chaos,' where the aim is expression and fun rather than technical perfection, making it perfect for diverse classroom groups.
What is the ideal age range for these workshops?
We typically recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up, as they need the physical strength to press the spray nozzles. However, we can adapt the programme for younger primary school groups using alternative techniques like stencilling or paint markers. Whether it is a primary school outing or a high school art intensive, we tailor the complexity of the lesson to match the age group.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Oslo's weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered! While we love working outdoors against real urban backdrops, we can also host workshops at indoor locations or even in your school's sports hall using protective floor coverings. If the Norwegian rain surprises us, our backup plan ensures the workshop goes ahead smoothly, either under cover or at a sheltered alternative site.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our standard school workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a history of graffiti, practice sessions, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, just let us know! We are very flexible and can condense or expand the session to fit perfectly into your educational timetable.
Do we need to pay in advance for the school booking?
We believe in transparency and trust! You don’t need to pay anything upfront when booking your Oslo school workshop. We will handle all the arrangements and send the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives schools piece of mind regarding budgets and internal processing. Our goal is to make the administrative part as easy as the painting part!
Can the students keep the artwork they create?
Yes, we love making the art permanent! Depending on the chosen format, students can work on individual canvases to take home or contribute to a large collective mural on wood panels. These panels can be installed in school hallways or playgrounds, serving as a lasting reminder of their teamwork and creativity. It is a fantastic way to brighten up the school environment while empowering the students.
