Is spray painting safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint and ensure workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our experienced instructors are trained to manage primary school groups, keeping the environment controlled, safe, and incredibly fun for every young artist involved. We've led hundreds of school sessions with a perfect safety record.

Where in Zurich do these workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can bring the workshop to your school grounds in Zurich if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space where we can set up plastic sheeting. Alternatively, we can host your class at one of our dedicated local street art locations. We handle all the setup and cleanup, so your school remains tidy while the kids get to unleash their creativity. It's a hassle-free experience for teachers!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes the introductory safety briefing, the design phase, and the actual painting session. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep primary school students engaged without them getting over-tired. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school timetable or a half-day project week format.

What is the minimum age for the students?

We generally recommend these workshops for children aged 8 and up (typically Key Stage 2). At this age, they have the physical dexterity to handle the spray cans and the focus to follow the creative process. However, we can adapt our teaching methods for slightly younger groups if requested. Our artists are experts at tailoring their language and technical tips to match the specific age group we are working with.

What materials do the schools need to provide?

The best part is that you don't need to bring a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for a successful day: professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, masks), practice boards or canvases, and all design materials like markers and paper. We even bring plastic floor coverings to ensure the school property stays paint-free. Just make sure the kids wear old shoes!

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Yes, we love making things personal! While we start with the basics of lettering and 'tagging', we can easily integrate a specific school theme into the session. Whether you are learning about the environment, local Zurich history, or school values like 'respect' and 'teamwork', our artists can help the students design a large-scale mural that reflects these important topics. It turns a fun art day into a meaningful educational project.

What is the maximum group size you can handle?

For primary schools, we recommend groups of 15 to 30 students per instructor to ensure everyone gets enough attention and guidance. For larger year groups, we simply bring along more of our professional artists! We have a large team of backup artists available, so we can cater to multiple classes at once or run sessions in rotation throughout the school day to accommodate everyone.

How do we book a workshop for our Zurich school?

Booking is simple! You can use our online cost calculator for a quick estimate, or just send us a message with your preferred dates and group size. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This makes it much easier for school administration and finance departments to manage. Once we've agreed on the details, we handle the rest of the logistics!

The experience

Why settle for watercolours when you can offer your students a world-class street art experience? Here is why our Zurich workshops are the talk of the playground:

Confidence boost: Seeing a large-scale artwork come to life gives children a massive sense of pride and accomplishment. 🔥
Teamwork in action: Building a mural requires collaboration, communication, and shared goals.
Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they are amazing role models who love inspiring the next generation.
Full safety kit: We provide top-tier masks and overalls, so kids stay clean and safe while they spray.
Stress-free for teachers: We handle the setup, the cleanup, and the crowd control. You just enjoy the smiles! 🎉
Educational & fun: We blend art history with practical skills, meeting creative curriculum goals in the coolest way possible.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: Our pro artists start with a high-energy intro about the history of graffiti and show some amazing examples to get the kids excited.
Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear. We explain how to use the cans safely and respect the environment.
Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and markers to draft their designs, learning about letter shapes, bubbles, and 3D effects.
Mastering the nozzle: Before hitting the main wall, kids practice 'can control' on test surfaces to get a feel for pressure and distance.
Outline & fill: The creative chaos begins! Students start filling in their designs with vibrant colours under the guidance of our artists.
The finishing touches: We teach the secret of 'power outlines' and highlights to make their artwork really 'pop' off the wall.
Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the masterpiece with a big class photo. Our team then handles all the site cleanup, leaving the school sparkling.

Local culture

Zurich isn't just about banks and watches; it's a city with a beating heart of urban creativity! From the legendary legal walls at Rote Fabrik to the vibrant street art scenes in Zürich West, the city is a playground for visual storytellers. Bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school connects students with this local cultural movement, showing them that art is part of the city's living history. We love bringing the spirit of the Limmat city's creative districts directly to your playground!

🎨 Fun Fact: Did you know that Zurich was home to some of the earliest street art in Europe during the 1970s? The famous "Sprayer von Zürich" (Harald Naegeli) started his work right here, proving that even the most organised city in the world loves a bit of artistic rebellion!
