How long does the after-school graffiti workshop last?

Usually, our after-school sessions in Zurich run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic strokes, sketch their masterpiece, and get busy with the spray cans. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy levels remain high and focus stays sharp without anyone getting tired. It’s the perfect duration for a creative afternoon burst!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure no fumes are inhaled, along with protective gloves and designer-style ponchos to keep school uniforms clean. Our professional artists spend the first 15 minutes of every session teaching safe handling of the cans. We use low-odour, high-quality paints that are specifically chosen for use in educational environments.

Do the kids get to keep the artwork they create?

Absolutely! While we love working on walls, we often bring large canvases or wooden panels for the kids to work on. This means the school gets to keep a stunning piece of urban art to display in the hallways or playground. Alternatively, students can work on individual smaller canvases to take home and show off to their families. We’re flexible and can adapt to your space!

Do students need any previous art experience?

Not at all. This workshop is designed for everyone, from the next Picasso to someone who’s never held a pencil. Our expert instructors guide the group through every single step, from basic 'tagging' to advanced 'pieces'. We focus on the 'fun' factor rather than technical perfection. It’s all about building confidence and letting the kids express their unique personalities through colour.

What do we need to provide for the workshop?

We’ve got it all covered! Graffitifun provides everything: professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle sizes (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and the painting surface itself. You just need to provide the space and the kids. We recommend that students wear old shoes just in case, but our protective suits do a great job of covering everything else.

How does payment work for school bookings?

We understand that school budgets and after-school club sizes vary. That’s why we don't require any payment until after the workshop is successfully completed. Our pricing is transparent and depends on the number of participants. We offer a Cost Calculator on our site for a quick estimate, or you can message us for a bespoke quote tailored to your specific after-school programme.

What is the ideal age for the graffiti workshop?

While we usually work with kids aged 8 and up because of the hand strength required for the spray cans, we can adapt sessions for slightly younger groups using alternative tools. It’s a brilliant activity for primary and secondary students alike. The older the kids, the more technical we get with shadows, highlights, and complex letter structures!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your after-school club in Zurich? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building confidence and community! ✨

🚀 Boosts self-esteem: Seeing a giant, colourful mural completed in just two hours gives kids an incredible sense of achievement.
🤝 Teamwork in action: Students learn to collaborate on large-scale pieces, negotiating space and colour palettes together.
🧘 Creative focus: Graffiti requires a 'flow state' that helps kids relax and focus after a long day of academic study.
🛡️ 100% Professional: We handle all the logistics, safety gear, and cleanup – you just provide the enthusiastic artists!
🔥 The 'Cool' Factor: Let’s be honest, nothing beats telling your friends you spent the afternoon legally spray-painting at school.

Step by step

The introduction: Our pro artists arrive at your Zurich location and set up the creative zone with all materials.
Safety first: We gear up! Every student gets a protective suit and a professional mask to keep things clean and safe.
Mastering the 'tag': We start with the basics of lettering and how to handle a spray can like a real street artist.
Sketching the vision: Kids brainstorm their ideas on paper first, planning out their colours and crazy designs.
First lines: Moving to the canvas or wall, the students start outlining their big 'piece' with guidance from our team.
The colour fill: This is the best part! Everyone grabs their favourite colours and starts filling in their artwork.
Adding the 'pop': We teach the kids how to add highlights, shadows, and cool effects to make their letters stand out.
The final outline: A crisp dark outline brings the whole creation to life, making it look professional and sharp.
Photo op & clean up: We finish with a group photo of the masterpiece before we pack everything away, leaving no mess behind.

Local culture

Zurich might be famous for its banks and luxury watches, but the city’s heart beats with a hidden urban rhythm. From the vibrant murals in Zürich West to the legendary legal walls at Rote Fabrik, the city has a rich history of graffiti culture that we love to share with the next generation. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, showing kids that Zurich is a canvas for their imagination.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Zurich was home to 'The Sprayer of Zurich' (Harald Naegeli) in the late 70s? He’s considered a pioneer of street art in Europe, proving that Zurich has been a hub for spray-paint rebels for decades! 🏙️
