How it works

  1. The warm welcome: Meet your local graffiti artist at our designated spot in Tampere and get introduced to the vibrant world of street culture.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up in your protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We’ll show you how to use the equipment safely and effectively.
  3. Master the tech: Learn about different nozzles (caps), pressure control, and how to hold the can for various effects like flares and sharp lines.
  4. Sketching your soul: Work with our artists to sketch out your initial ideas on paper or directly onto your canvas.
  5. The first blast: Start with a 'fill-in' to get comfortable with the motion of spraying large areas of colour.
  6. Cutting and outlining: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to sharpen your edges and make your design pop off the surface.
  7. Detailing and effects: Add highlights, shadows, and 'splatters' to give your work that professional street art edge.
  8. The big reveal: Step back and admire your finished piece. It’s time for a group photo with your new crew!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art or graffiti experience?

No experience is needed at all! Our Tampere workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists who have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every single step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks professional and vibrant with just a little bit of expert help.

What exactly is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience. This includes high-quality spray cans in various colours, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, and masks) to keep your clothes clean, and professional-grade canvases or wall space. We even provide the inspiration! All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on.

Is the workshop safe for tourists and children?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, and we provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our artists are trained to ensure a safe environment for everyone. We make sure the 'vandalism' stays strictly within the lines of legal art and personal expression!

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Yes! Most of our tourist workshops in Tampere involve creating your own individual masterpiece on a high-quality canvas. Once the paint is dry, you can easily take your artwork back to your hotel or pack it in your suitcase to take home as the ultimate souvenir of your Finnish holiday. It’s a much more personal memento than a standard fridge magnet or postcard!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you aren't too precious about. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves to keep the paint off your outfit, an accidental splash can occasionally happen in the heat of creativity. It's best to leave the designer labels at the hotel for one afternoon and dress for a bit of messy, artistic fun.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are on a tight holiday schedule, let us know and we can often tailor the timing to suit your itinerary while still ensuring you get the full creative experience.

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

Tampere can be a bit chilly or rainy, but we have you covered! We have access to various indoor locations and sheltered spots throughout the city. If the weather doesn't play ball, we simply move the creative energy indoors where it's warm and dry. Your workshop will go ahead regardless of the Finnish weather, ensuring your travel plans stay right on track.
