Graffiti Workshop in Copenhagen

The graffiti workshop can usually go ahead even if it’s lightly raining, unless there’s a heavy downpour or snowstorm on the day. The location I usually use in Copenhagen has some trees that provide a bit of cover. Unfortunately, I can’t offer a fully covered space in a public park for larger groups. But so far, I’ve never had to cancel a workshop because of bad weather — even during the colder months. So unless the weather is really severe, the workshop can still take place without any issues.

The graffiti workshop usually lasts about 2 hours, but I can tailor the timing to fit your company’s schedule. We start with a short 10-minute introduction where I demonstrate how to use the spray paint. Then, participants get to start painting under my guidance. For groups larger than 20, I often split participants into two teams. The first team paints during the first hour, and the second team paints during the second hour. There’s a nice green area nearby in the public park where teams can relax, eat, and drink while waiting. In most cases, expect the workshop to last around 2 hours.

The minimum number of participants is usually around 10, as setting up the workshop takes some preparation. If you have fewer than 10 participants, we can still try to arrange something. For groups up to 25-30 people, I can manage the workshop in one session. If your group is larger, we can split participants into teams, each painting for about an hour before switching.

Yes, you’re welcome to take your finished artwork home to display in your office or at home. The boards measure 60×120 cm and typically fit in the backseat of a regular car. If you’re bringing multiple boards, I’ll wrap them in plastic to prevent paint stains in your car. Please note, I’m unable to store the boards for later pickup, so you’ll need to take them with you on the day.

Finished paintings usually dry within 15-20 minutes in the sun. To be safe, we wrap the boards in plastic before placing them in the car. I encourage participants to leave their paintings face-up on the grass to dry a bit before the workshop ends. While the boards dry, we often have a fun and social round where each participant shares their artwork and the ideas behind it. It’s a great way to wrap up the graffiti workshop.

The graffiti workshop must take place outdoors because we use spray paint, which produces strong fumes. Unfortunately, this means indoor workshops aren’t possible. I usually hold the workshop in a public park near Lergravsparken metro station in Copenhagen. The park is about 10 minutes from Copenhagen city center by metro, making it easy to reach by public transport, bike, or car.
