Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Turku have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We provide a safe, supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something look-worthy with just a few expert tips and tricks from our team.

What about safety and protective gear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. The paint we use is professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas. Our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. While we provide overalls, we still recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

How long does the workshop last?

A standard workshop in Turku typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, let us know – we can often adapt the pace to fit your itinerary without rushing the creative fun!

Do I need to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'No Stress' booking. You don't need to pay upfront. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you simply pay after the session is completed and you're happy with the result. This makes it super easy for tourist groups or families to manage their holiday budget without worrying about cancellations or refunds before they even arrive in Finland.

What happens if it rains in Turku?

Turku weather can be a bit unpredictable! We have several location options, including sheltered spots that allow us to keep painting even if there's a light Finnish drizzle. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup plans or can reschedule. Also, because we have a large team of backup artists, your workshop won't be cancelled due to an instructor being unavailable. We always make sure the art goes on!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Usually, we work on large communal walls or boards to give you the true 'street' experience. However, depending on the specific package you book, we can arrange for individuals to paint on canvases that you can take home. If you are traveling light, many tourists prefer the digital memory of their wall art, but just let us know your preference when booking and we will make it happen!
