Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks for every student. Our expert instructors lead a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour paints where possible and always ensure we are working in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor space to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.
How long does a typical school session last?
Most of our school workshops in Västerås last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for diving into the history of street art, learning the basic techniques, and completing a full-scale mural or individual canvases. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period blocks without any hassle.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Västerås weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If the Swedish rain decides to join us, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or use large canvases in a well-ventilated indoor hall like a gym or drama studio. We also have backup artists available, so your event will go ahead rain or shine!
Do students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional street artists are great at breaking down complex styles into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is a naturally gifted illustrator or has never held a spray can before, they will leave the session feeling like a pro with a piece of art they’re proud of.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We make the process as easy as possible for teachers. We bring everything: premium spray paint, various caps for different line widths, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. All we need from the school is a suitable space and some enthusiastic students. We even take care of the setup and the cleanup afterwards!
Can the workshop be tailored to a specific educational theme?
Definitely. Graffiti is a fantastic medium for teaching themes like identity, community, sustainability, or local Västerås history. Just let us know your curriculum goals beforehand, and our artists will tailor the workshop themes and discussions to reinforce what your students are currently learning in the classroom in a fun, hands-on way.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
We are very flexible! We work with small art clubs of 10 students up to entire year groups of 100+. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every student gets individual attention and guidance. We find that working in smaller sub-groups on a large collaborative mural works best for big classes.
