Do I need any prior artistic experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our participants 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, supportive environment where the goal is to enjoy the creative process rather than achieving perfection. You will be amazed at what you can create with just a little bit of expert guidance and some Swiss inspiration.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overall suits to keep your clothes clean. The workshop is held in well-ventilated areas, and we use professional-grade spray paint. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring that everyone knows how to handle the equipment correctly. It is a fun, controlled environment where you can focus entirely on your artistic expression without any worries.

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard cultural graffiti workshop in St Gallen typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are integrating this into a larger city tour, we can often adjust the duration to fit your itinerary. Just let us know your requirements!

What should I wear and bring to the event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective suits and gear, 'accidents' can happen in the heat of creativity! Since St Gallen weather can be unpredictable, it is also a good idea to bring an extra layer if we are outdoors. Aside from your enthusiasm and a creative mindset, we provide everything else including cans, caps, and canvases.

Where in St Gallen do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spaces in St Gallen, or we can bring the mobile graffiti wall to your specific event location, such as a community centre, office, or park (with local permits). If you are looking for an authentic experience, we often recommend locations near the city's vibrant urban zones. Tell us where your event is, and we will make the magic happen.

How does the booking and payment process work?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no cure, no pay' mentality. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking. We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to be 100% satisfied. Payment is settled after the event once you've seen the smiles on everyone's faces. We also have backup artists available at all times to ensure your event goes ahead even if an instructor falls ill.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

For our cultural events, the most popular option is creating a large collaborative mural on a legal wall or a mobile surface. However, we also offer individual canvases that participants can take home as a souvenir. In St Gallen, many groups choose to create a joint piece that represents their community or event theme. We can discuss these options during the booking process to ensure you get exactly the outcome you desire.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next cultural event in St Gallen? It’s more than just a painting lesson; it’s an immersive dive into a global subculture that promotes teamwork, confidence, and radical creativity. 🔥

Total Inclusivity: You don't need to be "artistic" to have a blast. Our methods ensure everyone creates something they are proud of!
Stress Buster: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of vibrant colours on a large scale.
Collaboration: We specialise in collaborative murals that symbolise unity and shared vision—perfect for cultural associations or local organisations.
Expert Mentorship: Learn from professional artists who live and breathe street art, bringing years of experience to your session.
Safety First: We provide professional-grade protective gear and masks, ensuring a clean and safe environment for all ages. 💪
Memorable Outcomes: Unlike a standard seminar, your group will leave with a physical (or digital) legacy of their creative bravery.

Step by step

Introduction & Inspiration: We start with a brief history of the global street art movement and its specific evolution within the Swiss urban scene.
Safety & Gear: Put on your protective suit, mask, and gloves. We’ll show you how to handle the spray cans safely and effectively.
Nozzle Knowledge: Learn about different 'caps' and how they change the spray pattern from thin lines to wide fills.
Sketching the Concept: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design on the wall or canvas, focusing on scaling and composition.
The First Layer: Start filling in your 'fill-ins' using bold colours, learning the steady hand movement required for an even coat.
Dynamic Outlining: Master the 'power line' to make your artwork pop off the surface and define your shapes.
Highlights & Shadows: Add 3D effects and 'shines' to give your piece depth and professional flair.
The Final Polish: Our professional artists help you add those intricate details and clean edges that turn a 'tag' into a masterpiece.
Group Gallery: Step back, admire the collective work, and take those all-important photos for the 'gram!

Local culture

While St Gallen is globally recognised for its UNESCO-listed Abbey and intricate textile history, the city’s creative pulse extends far beyond its historic old town. In the pockets of the Lachen district and near the university, a subtle but growing street art culture thrives, reflecting the city's youthful energy. St Gallen provides a unique backdrop where medieval architecture meets modern urbanism. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the city's famous "oriel windows," reimagining these classic shapes through a neon, spray-painted lens.

Fun Fact: Did you know St Gallen is often called the "City of 111 Oriels"? While you won't be painting on the historic facades, we love helping you incorporate these iconic geometric shapes into your graffiti designs! 🎨

Participating in a graffiti event here isn't just about paint; it's about connecting with the local Swiss spirit of innovation and design excellence. We've worked in various spots across the canton, from Zurich to Basel, but there’s something special about the intimate, creative atmosphere of St Gallen that makes every workshop feel like a true community celebration.
