Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Bergen have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths. We provide a supportive, fun environment where your creativity can flow without any pressure. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created.

What happens if it rains during our scheduled session?

Bergen is famous for its 'liquid sunshine', but don't worry! We have access to covered outdoor spots and indoor locations that keep us dry while allowing for proper ventilation. We monitor the weather closely and will coordinate with you to ensure the workshop happens in a comfortable environment, regardless of the typical Norwegian coastal weather.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Avoid your favourite designer gear just in case a stray mist of paint finds its way past the apron!

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

The minimum age for our tourist workshops in Bergen is typically 6 years old, provided they are accompanied by an adult. We use high-quality spray cans that are manageable for smaller hands, and we always prioritise safety with appropriate masks and gear. It is a fantastic family activity that kids and teenagers absolutely love.

How long does the graffiti experience actually last?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your large-scale piece. If you have a specific time constraint, just let us know and we can tailor the session to fit your Bergen itinerary.

Do I need to pay in advance to secure my booking?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront; you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you are satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of planning your holiday and ensures you only pay for an experience you've actually enjoyed.

What safety measures and equipment do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks to protect you from fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits. Our artists are trained in site safety and will guide you on how to use the equipment responsibly. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone maintains a safe distance while spraying.
