How it works

  1. The warm welcome: Meet your local Gothenburg artist at the designated street art spot and get a brief intro to the local scene.
  2. Safety first: Suit up in our professional protective gear, including overalls, masks, and gloves to keep you clean and safe. ✨
  3. The blank canvas: Learn how to prepare your surface and understand the basics of spray can pressure and nozzle types.
  4. First lines: Practice your basic strokes, circles, and lines to get a feel for the paint flow and distance from the wall.
  5. Design phase: Sketch out your idea on paper or directly on the wall with guidance from your mentor. 🎨
  6. Fill it in: Start applying your base colours and learn how to create smooth gradients and solid fills.
  7. The outline: Master the "power line"—the final crisp outline that makes your graffiti piece pop and look professional.
  8. Final flourishes: Add highlights, 3D effects, and "force fields" to give your artwork that authentic street art character. 🔥
  9. The photoshoot: Step back, admire your work, and take some epic photos to show off your new skills to the world!

Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Gothenburg workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists who want to try something new. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on having fun and expressing yourself, so don't worry about your technical skills—you'll be amazed at what you can create in just one session.

What should I wear and do you provide protective gear?

We take your safety and comfort seriously. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't get paint on your clothes or breathe in fumes. That said, we always recommend wearing old shoes and comfortable clothing that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case! We want you to focus on the art without worrying about your outfit. 🎨

Can the workshop take place at a location of my choice in Gothenburg?

Yes, we can! While we have amazing "legal walls" and street art spots scattered around Gothenburg, we are also mobile. If you are staying at a specific venue or have a location in mind that allows it, we can bring the entire graffiti experience to you. We use specialized low-odour paints and protective floor coverings to ensure the site remains clean and safe while we transform it into a temporary studio.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Gothenburg's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. Many of our favorite street art spots have sheltered areas. If the weather looks truly dire, we can often relocate to an indoor facility or reschedule your session. Our goal is to ensure you have an enjoyable experience, so we always keep a close eye on the Swedish clouds and have backup plans ready to go! 🌧️

Am I allowed to take photos and videos during the session?

Of course! We love it when tourists document their creative journey in Gothenburg. Feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like during the process. Our artists are also happy to snap a group photo of you in front of your finished masterpiece. It makes for a fantastic, unique souvenir of your time in Sweden that’s much cooler than a standard postcard! 📸

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Our standard tourist workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough introduction, some practice runs on cardboard or practice walls, and then the final creation of your main piece. If you’re on a tight sightseeing schedule, let us know and we can tailor the session length to fit your itinerary perfectly without rushing the creative flow.

How do I book and is there an upfront payment?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can use our online cost calculator for an instant estimate or send us a quick message through our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This keeps things flexible for your travel plans. Just pick a date, and we'll handle the rest! ✨
