Frequently asked questions
I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?
Absolutely! Most of our guests in Oulu have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who specialize in breaking down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. We start with the basicsâhow to hold the can, control pressure, and make clean linesâbefore moving on to your master design. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours with our guidance.
What should I wear and do you provide safety gear?
We've got you covered! We provide high-quality spray masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, graffiti can be a bit messy, so we always recommend wearing comfortable shoes and 'work clothes' that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Safety is our priority, and our pro-grade masks ensure you won't be breathing in any nasty fumes while you paint.
Where exactly in Oulu do the workshops take place?
In Oulu, we have access to both vibrant outdoor legal walls and covered spaces for when the Finnish weather gets a bit 'dramatic'. Our outdoor spots are chosen for their cool atmosphere and local street art vibe. If the weather looks like it might rain or snow, we can often move the session to a sheltered area or use indoor canvases to ensure your creative flow isn't interrupted.
How long does the graffiti experience last?
A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a larger group or want a more intensive masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to 3 hours. Itâs the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing day!
Do I need to pay in advance to book?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your booking. Once the workshop is finished and you're buzzing from your creative session, you can settle the payment. We accept various payment methods to make it as easy as possible for our international visitors exploring Northern Finland.
Can I take my artwork home with me?
Yes! Depending on the specific location and package, you'll often create your masterpiece on a high-quality canvas or board that you can take home with you. Itâs the ultimate Oulu souvenirâmuch better than a generic postcard! If we are painting on a permanent public wall, weâll make sure to take professional-quality photos of you and your work so you can show it off on social media forever.
