Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Safety is our top priority for every school event in Vantaa. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to all students. Our professional artists lead a comprehensive safety briefing before any spray cans are touched. We only use high-quality paints and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area or outdoors to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our workshops are highly flexible! For school groups, we typically recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice for the students to complete their masterpieces. We can adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots.
Can we link the workshop to a specific educational theme?
Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as sustainability, community, or local Vantaa history. Our artists can tailor the introductory talk and the creative prompts to align with your current curriculum or school values. Just let us know what you are studying, and we will weave it into the spray-painting session.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
We are prepared for the Finnish weather! If the Vantaa rain decides to show up, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. Alternatively, we can use water-based spray cans for indoor sessions which have minimal odour. We always have backup plans to ensure your creative day isn't washed out.
What is the maximum group size for a school session?
We cater to groups of all sizes, from a single class of 20 to an entire grade of 100+ students. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'creativity stations' to ensure every student gets enough personal guidance and spray time. Vantaa schools often book us for 'culture days' where we rotate different classes throughout the day.
Do we need to pay in advance?
No, there is no need for upfront payment when booking your Vantaa school workshop. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for school departments and ensures you are 100% happy with the experience we've delivered.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to make different strokes. Our artists provide step-by-step guidance, so even students who don't consider themselves 'artistic' end up surprised by the professional-looking results they can achieve in just one session.
