How it works

- Safety First: Students suit up in protective gear and learn how to handle the spray cans and nozzles (caps) safely.
- The Sketching Phase: Our artists guide the students through sketching their ideas on paper, focusing on letter structure and flow.
- Mastering the Can: Students practice the 'ghost' technique—learning how to move their arms and control the pressure without paint first.
- Filling & Colours: Time to get colourful! The group begins filling in their designs with vibrant shades and gradients.
- The Outline: This is where the magic happens. We teach students how to add the crisp outlines that make graffiti jump off the wall.
- Highlights & Details: We add the finishing touches, like 'shines' and 3D effects, to give the artwork that professional street art look.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-age students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school session in Turku. We provide high-quality breathing masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep students safe and their clothes clean. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and that everyone follows our safety protocols while having a blast.
Can the workshop take place on our school grounds?
We are completely flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises in Turku if you've got a suitable outdoor wall or space. Alternatively, we can arrange a session at one of the city's legal graffiti walls or a dedicated studio space. If you're worried about the weather, we have mobile solutions that allow us to work on large canvases even under a sheltered area.
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for various age groups, typically ranging from primary school pupils (ages 8+) to university students. We adapt our teaching style and the complexity of the designs to match the developmental stage of the participants. For younger kids, we focus more on shapes and colours, while older students can dive deep into complex shading and perspective.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, safety instructions, basic techniques, and the actual creation of the masterpiece. We can also tailor the duration to fit exactly into your school's timetable or a special 'project day' schedule.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
No experience is needed at all! Most students have never touched a spray can before they meet us. Our artists are experts at breaking down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with simple lines and work our way up to filling and outlining. By the end of the session, every student will have created something they can be proud of.
What materials are included in the school package?
We handle everything so you don't have to worry about a thing! We bring the spray cans (in a huge range of colours), caps, protective gear, and the surfaces—whether that's a temporary wall or individual canvases. We also bring our expert knowledge and a high-energy attitude. The only thing you need to provide is a group of excited students ready to learn!
How does the payment process work for schools?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no-risk' booking. You don't need to pay anything upfront. We send the invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes it much easier for school administrations and departments to manage their budgets and ensure they are 100% satisfied with the experience before the transaction is finalised.
