Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute priority for primary school groups in Bern. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are water-based or low-solvent where possible, and we always conduct sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal graffiti zones. Our professional instructors are experienced in supervising younger children, ensuring a fun environment that is completely safe and controlled from start to finish.

Do the children need to have prior drawing or art experience?

No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and encouraging for children of all ability levels. We guide the students through simple techniques, from holding the can correctly to filling in shapes. It is amazing to see how quickly even the most hesitant child gains confidence once they see their vibrant colours on the wall. Every child leaves feeling like a successful artist.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

Ideally, we recommend a minimum of 10 students for a school booking, but we can accommodate much larger groups by bringing in additional professional artists. For very large year groups in Bern, we often split the students into rotating teams to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on spraying time and personal attention from our instructors. We have a deep bench of backup artists to ensure your event never gets cancelled.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Standard primary school workshops usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for maintaining the children's focus and energy levels. We start with a brief introduction and safety demo, move into sketching and practice, and spend the final hour creating the main masterpiece. We can also adapt the duration to fit exactly within your school's timetable or a specific afternoon excursion slot.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Weather in Bern can be unpredictable, but we have you covered. We can often use sheltered outdoor locations or, if the school has a suitable indoor space like a well-ventilated garage or gym hall (using floor protection), we can move there. However, we also offer the flexibility to reschedule if the weather is truly miserable. Because we don't require upfront payment, you have extra peace of mind and flexibility.

We provide everything needed for a successful street art day. This includes a wide variety of professional spray cans in bright colours, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, and masks), and even the 'canvas' (which can be a temporary wooden wall, large sheets, or a legal graffiti wall in the city). Your school just needs to provide the excited students and a location, though we can also help suggest legal spots around Bern.

Local culture

Bern is a city where history meets modern creativity. Walking from the Zytglogge towards the Aare, you can feel the artistic pulse of the city. While Bern is famous for its medieval architecture, it also boasts a thriving urban art scene.

Our workshops encourage students to see their city through a new lens, appreciating the legal murals that decorate Bern’s urban landscape. By participating, your students become part of Bern's living art culture, learning the difference between vandalism and the professional street art that adds character to our beautiful Swiss capital.
