Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Västerås graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold a spray can to creating complex colour gradients. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they walk away with a piece of art they're genuinely proud of!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable. Think 'comfortable and casual'. It’s all part of the authentic street art experience, so leave the designer gear at home and prepare to get creative!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with professional-grade FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment safely. You’re in expert hands, so you can focus entirely on having a blast and making art.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't stop the creativity in Västerås! We have access to several indoor and covered locations around the city. If the weather looks like it might dampen the mood, we simply move the party to one of our dry, vibrant indoor spots. We’ll keep you updated on the exact location so your plans stay on track.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule in Västerås without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the fumes!

When and how do I pay for the workshop?

We believe in 'fun first', which means you don't have to pay anything until after the workshop is finished. We trust you’ll have such a great time that you'll be happy to settle up once the paint is dry. You can pay via card or bank transfer—whatever is easiest for your travel group.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you certainly can! While we often work on large communal walls for the ultimate 'big picture' experience, we can also provide individual canvases for you to spray on. These make for the ultimate unique souvenir from your trip to Sweden. Please let us know in advance if you'd like the canvas option!
