How it works

  1. Initial enquiry: Reach out via our contact form. Tell us your university society, estimated group size, and preferred dates in Bergen.
  2. Custom concept: We’ll chat about your goals. Whether it’s a team-building afternoon for a sports club or a creative highlight for a student festival, we’ll tailor the theme.
  3. Setting the stage: We arrive at the chosen Bergen location early to set up our mobile walls, lay down protective flooring, and prep the spray paint.
  4. Safety & technique: Before the paint flies, our artists give a demo on safety, can control, and the secret "tricks of the trade."
  5. Sketching & outlines: You’ll start by sketching your ideas onto the wall, learning how to scale up your designs under our expert guidance.
  6. The filling phase: This is where the colour happens! Learn blending, fading, and how to fill large areas efficiently.
  7. Final details: Add those sharp outlines and highlights that make a piece of graffiti truly pop and look professional.
  8. Gallery & cleanup: We take group photos of your masterpieces, then handle all the cleanup, leaving your Bergen venue exactly as we found it.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Bergen university workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the basics of spray can handling and safety before moving on to design. Our professional artists guide you through every step, ensuring that even those who haven't picked up a paintbrush since primary school walk away with a piece of art they can be proud of. It is all about the experience and having a go.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a successful session in Bergen. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective overalls, gloves, and high-filtration masks. We also provide the boards or canvases for the workshop. All you need to bring is your creativity and a pair of old shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit dusty.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard university workshop in Bergen typically lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger student gala event, we can adjust the duration to fit your programme perfectly. Just let us know your requirements!

Is the workshop safe for students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our workshops are ideally held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or specific legal graffiti zones in Bergen. Our artists are highly experienced in managing groups and ensure that all equipment is used correctly. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned.

Where in Bergen do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at various legal street art locations around Bergen, or if your university campus has a suitable outdoor area with permission, we can come to you. We often use mobile graffiti walls that we set up and take down, leaving no permanent marks on your beautiful campus. We'll help you find the perfect spot during the booking process.

How does the 'pay after' policy work?

We believe in total peace of mind for student unions and university societies. You don't have to pay anything upfront when you book your Bergen workshop. Payment is only required after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is happy with the results. This ensures you get exactly what you paid for without any financial risk to your student budget.

Can we paint a permanent mural on campus?

Yes, we can! If your student association is looking for a more permanent mark, we can facilitate a project where students help design and execute a mural on a designated campus wall. This is a fantastic way to build community and celebrate your university's identity. We handle all the prep work and professional finishing touches to ensure the mural looks top-tier for years to come.
