Frequently asked questions

Do students need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops in Turku are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Most university students have never touched a spray can before our sessions. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic line work to complex fills. We focus on technique and fun, ensuring that by the end of the session, everyone has created something they are proud of. No artistic background is required!

What materials are included in the university workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks to ensure safety. We also provide the canvases or boards for your final masterpieces. All you need to bring is your student spirit and some comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

Is it safe to use spray paint, and do you provide safety gear?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality masks and protective gear to ensure a safe environment for all participants. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, covering correct nozzle control and ventilation. We also use professional-grade paints that comply with safety standards. You can focus on being creative while we handle the technical safety details.

Where in Turku do these workshops usually take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various outdoor locations around Turku that allow street art, or we can bring the experience to your uni campus using our mobile graffiti walls. These freestanding setups allow us to create a 'pop-up' studio anywhere from a car park to a student courtyard. We’ll coordinate with you to find the most convenient spot.

How much does a university graffiti workshop cost in Turku?

Our flexible pricing typically ranges between €30 and €65 per person. The final cost depends on factors like the number of students, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials requested. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is complete. For a precise figure tailored to your student union or faculty budget, just request a custom quote!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a full introduction to graffiti history, a practice session to get used to the spray cans, and enough time to complete a final group or individual project. We can adjust the timing to fit into a lecture break, a student party, or a full-day departmental bonding event.

Is this suitable for team building between different student faculties?

Graffiti is the ultimate team-building activity! Unlike traditional academic work, it requires collaborative thinking, shared space management, and collective creativity. Planning a large mural together helps students communicate better and see their peers in a new, creative light. It’s a fantastic way to break the ice during orientation weeks (Fuksi) or to celebrate the end of a long semester in Turku.
