How it works
- Intro & Street Art History: We start with an energetic talk about the roots of graffiti, moving from NYC subways to modern galleries, teaching students about the culture.
- Safety First: Everyone gets geared up in protective suits, masks, and gloves. We explain how to use the equipment responsibly and safely.
- First Lines: Our professional artists demonstrate basic techniques—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths.
- Sketching Designs: Students grab paper and markers to plan their 'tags' or contributions to the group mural, focusing on letter structure and flow.
- Can Control Practice: Time to hit the wall! Students practice "filling," "fading," and "outlining" under the close guidance of our instructors.
- The Masterpiece: The group works together on a large-scale mural, combining their individual styles into one cohesive, colourful artwork.
- Details & Highlights: We teach the "pro tricks," like adding highlights and shadows to make the letters pop off the surface.
- Photo Ops & Review: We wrap up by admiring the final work, taking group photos, and discussing what everyone learned during the creative process.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective suits, and gloves for every student. Our professional instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone even touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints, and we always ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area or outdoors to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.
Where in Tromsø do the workshops take place?
We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at a local creative hub in Tromsø. If you're worried about the Arctic weather, we can even set up indoor mobile wooden walls with the right ventilation and protection, ensuring the workshop goes ahead rain or shine.
Do students need previous art experience or talent?
Not at all—that’s the whole point! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on boosting confidence and showing students that everyone has a creative spark. By the end of the session, even the students who 'can't draw' will be amazed at the professional-looking piece they've helped create.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We typically recommend our school workshops for students aged 10 and up. At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans and the maturity to follow safety instructions. However, we can adapt our program for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or stencils. For teenagers and secondary school students, we dive deeper into the history and technical skills of the subculture.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We take care of everything so teachers can relax. We provide the spray paint, caps, protective gear, sketch paper, and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a wall, boards, or individual canvases). We also handle the setup and the intensive cleanup afterwards. All we need from the school is a group of excited students and a designated space to get creative. It’s a completely hassle-free experience for the faculty!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a large-scale group mural. We can, however, trim the session to fit into a double-period school slot or expand it into a full-day 'art intensive' project if you’re looking for a deeper dive.
How much does a graffiti workshop in Tromsø cost?
Our pricing is quite flexible and depends on the number of students and the materials required. In Tromsø, prices usually range from kr300 to kr650 per student. Larger groups often benefit from a lower per-person rate. Because every school project is unique—from small art classes to entire year groups—we always recommend requesting a custom quote so we can give you the best possible price for your budget.
