How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: Meet your local artist and suit up in protective gear. We cover the essential safety rules for using spray cans.
  2. The History of Street Art: Get a quick, inspiring rundown of graffiti culture and how it evolved into the global art form it is today.
  3. Can Control 101: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can. Practice different caps, nozzle pressure, and how to create thin vs. thick lines.
  4. Sketching Your Design: Map out your ideas on paper or directly on the wall using light 'ghost' lines to guide your composition.
  5. Filling & Colouring: Discover the art of the 'fill-in'. Learn how to apply solid colours smoothly and start experimenting with gradients.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Bergen have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It is all about having fun and discovering a new way to express your creativity in a supportive environment.

What is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a fantastic street art experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a wide range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and specialised masks. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that is a legal graffiti wall in Bergen or mobile wooden panels. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty.

What happens if it rains during our Bergen workshop?

Bergen's weather is famous for its rain, but that won't stop our creativity! We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations throughout the city to ensure your workshop goes ahead regardless of the forecast. If we are planning an outdoor session and the weather looks particularly rough, we will coordinate with you to move to a covered site so you stay dry while you paint.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public art workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual piece. If you are looking for a more in-depth masterclass, we can extend the duration to 3 hours to cover advanced shading and 3D effects.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gear to all participants. Our artists are highly experienced in managing groups and ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly. We only work in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Because we use professional-grade materials, we ensure every participant understands the safety protocols before a single can is shaken.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We are very flexible with group sizes! We can host small, intimate groups of 5-10 people, or large-scale community events with over 100 participants. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of 1-on-1 guidance. Whether it is a small family gathering or a massive public festival in the city centre, we can scale to fit.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and risk-free. You can reach out via our website to check availability for your preferred date in Bergen. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations.
