How it works

  1. The warm-up: We kick things off with a brief history of local Oslo street art and a safety briefing to get everyone ready.
  2. Design brainstorming: Grab a sketchpad! You'll work with your classmates to sketch out a rough concept for your collective mural.
  3. Mastering the tool: Our pros show you how to handle the spray can, explaining different nozzles and finger pressure for varied effects.
  4. First lines: Head over to the practice wall to get a feel for the paint, practicing 'tags' and basic outlines.
  5. The big sketch: Once confident, we start scaling up your design onto the large canvas or wall, creating the 'bones' of the artwork.
  6. Filling with colour: This is the fun part! Start filling in the sections with vibrant colours, learning how to blend and fade like a pro.
  7. Crisp outlines: We teach you the 'cut-in' technique to sharpen your edges and make the design pop off the surface.
  8. Final highlights: Add those professional touches like shines, shadows, and 'force-fields' (outer glows) to finish the piece.
  9. The reveal: Step back with the group to admire your finished masterpiece—the perfect backdrop for a huge class photo!

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most university students who join our Oslo workshops have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes are just part of the creative process. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the high-quality piece of art you've managed to create alongside your classmates.

What materials are included in the university workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide range of professional-grade spray cans in various colours, protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality respiratory masks. We also provide the canvases or boards that will serve as your collective masterpiece. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty—while we provide gear, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard university workshop in Oslo typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a comprehensive introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice time, and the final creation of a large-scale group mural. If you have a specific schedule to stick to for a student union event, we can adjust the duration to fit your timetable perfectly. Just let us know your requirements!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide professional-grade masks and gloves to all participants. Our Oslo workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor locations. Our instructors are experienced professionals who oversee the entire process, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We make sure the environment is as safe as it is fun for every student.

Can we choose a specific theme for our mural?

Yes, we love making student events truly unique! If your university society, faculty, or student union has a specific theme—like 'Sustainability', 'Innovation', or even your school colours—we can tailor the workshop around it. Our artists can help your group design a mural that reflects your specific message or identity. It’s a fantastic way to create a lasting visual memory of your university year or a particular student campaign.

Where in Oslo do the workshops take place?

We are highly flexible and can come to various locations across Oslo. Many university workshops take place on campus if there is a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area available. Alternatively, we can host the group at one of our dedicated street art spots in the city. If you're looking for other locations in Norway, we also offer these energetic workshops in Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Drammen. and can travel to facilitate your event.

How do we handle the booking and payment?

Booking is simple and stress-free. Since university budgets and group sizes vary, we don't require any upfront payment. You can discuss your needs with our team, lock in a date, and then pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. If your student society needs an invoice for university administration, we can easily handle that. Simply use our cost calculator or request a custom quote to get the process started today!
