Is graffiti spraying safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective suits, and gloves for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise young children, ensuring they use the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour paints whenever possible and conduct the workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas to ensure a healthy environment for your pupils.

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

We recommend a minimum age of 6 years old (Year 2 and up). At this age, children have the motor skills needed to press the spray nozzle and the attention span to follow our safety instructions. For younger groups, we focus more on collaborative 'filling in' of large shapes, while older primary students in St Gallen can try their hand at more detailed lettering and shading techniques.

Do we need to provide any materials?

Not at all! We provide everything required for a successful creative day. This includes all premium spray paint, protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that is large wooden panels, individual canvases, or even a school wall if you have permission. You just need to make sure the kids wear old clothes and shoes, just in case!

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

The Swiss weather can be unpredictable! If it rains, we have two options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with extreme ventilation (though outdoor is always preferred). Alternatively, we can reschedule the workshop to a different date at no extra cost. We always keep a close eye on the St Gallen forecast leading up to your event.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard primary school session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the initial safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, "sketching" their ideas, and finally the painting itself. We can easily adapt the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or a half-day project week schedule.

Can you accommodate multiple classes or the whole school?

We are very flexible! We can work with a single class of 20-30 students or host a rotating carousel of workshops for the entire school over several days. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every child gets personal guidance and support. We maintain a high artist-to-student ratio to keep things fun and orderly.

Where in St Gallen do the workshops take place?

While we don't have a permanent studio in St Gallen, we are a fully mobile service! We bring the entire graffiti experience directly to your school playground, sports field, or a nearby public space. This saves you the hassle and cost of organising transport for the children. We've worked at various locations across the canton and know how to set up safely anywhere.

Boosts Creativity: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only "happy accidents" that encourage kids to think outside the box. 🧠
Full Inclusivity: Street art is for everyone! Kids who struggle with traditional fine arts often thrive with the physical, bold nature of spray painting.
Teamwork & Cohesion: Creating a large-scale mural requires communication and collaboration, bringing classmates closer together. 🤝
Safe & Professional: We use high-quality gear and child-friendly methods so you can relax while the kids have a blast.
Unique School Identity: Create a piece of art that can be displayed in your school hallways or playground for years to come! 🏫

Safety First: Every student gets kitted out in protective suits, masks, and gloves while learning the "golden rules" of spray painting.

The Big Outline: Students start applying their designs to the canvas or wall under the watchful eye of our pros.
Adding Colour: This is where the magic happens! Kids learn to blend colours and fill in their masterpieces. 🌈
Final Details: We help the students add highlights and "power lines" to make their artwork really pop.

We love bringing this modern art form to a city that prides itself on its artistic heritage.
