Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely. We prioritise the safety of all students and staff. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our instructors are experienced professionals who give a comprehensive safety briefing before any spray cans are touched. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor setting or a designated legal graffiti zone in Biel.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard workshop for secondary schools usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a sketching session where students plan their designs, and the actual painting process. We can adjust the duration based on your school's timetable or if you have a specific project in mind, such as a large-scale mural for a school wall.

What materials are included in the package?

We bring everything needed for the workshop! This includes a wide variety of spray paint colours, specialized nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and practice surfaces. If the workshop is taking place on school grounds, we also provide protective floor coverings to ensure no accidental paint marks are left on the pavement or walls.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop in Biel?

We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether you want to involve a single class of 20 students or an entire year group of over 100, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we send multiple professional artists to ensure every student gets personal guidance and support. We maintain a healthy student-to-artist ratio to keep the quality of the education high.

Do students need prior artistic experience or talent?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We teach the basic techniques from scratch, starting with how to hold the can and control the pressure. Secondary school students usually pick it up very quickly. By the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw' are often amazed by the professional-looking artwork they have created.

What happens if we need to cancel or rearrange?

We understand that school budgets and plans can change. That is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your date. If the weather is truly terrible and we can't find a sheltered spot, we can reschedule at no extra cost. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your secondary school in Biel? It is more than just a fun afternoon—it is a powerful educational tool that resonates with teenagers. Here are some of the benefits:

Boosts Creativity: Graffiti encourages students to think outside the box and experiment with bold colours and shapes.
Team Building: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication and collaboration, strengthening class bonds.
Physical Activity: Unlike a traditional art class, graffiti is active and keeps students moving and engaged.
Confidence Building: Seeing a large, professional piece of art come together gives students a massive sense of achievement.
Cultural Relevance: Graffiti is a medium that secondary school students actually care about and find 'cool'.
Zero Risk: With our pay-after-the-event policy and backup artist guarantee, your school planning is stress-free.

Step by step

Introduction & Culture: We start with a brief, engaging history of graffiti, moving from its roots in New York to the vibrant street art scene in Biel.
Idea Generation: Students brainstorm themes or words that represent their class identity or a specific school topic.
Sketching the Concept: Using paper and pencils, everyone creates a 'blackbook' sketch to plan their letter styles and colour schemes.
Safety & Technique Briefing: Our artists demonstrate how to use the spray cans safely and explain the different 'caps' for thin or thick lines.
Background Painting: The students start by applying the base colours to their surface, learning how to create smooth gradients and fills.
Outlining & Detail: This is where the magic happens! Students learn to define their letters with crisp outlines and add highlights or 'shines'.
Adding Character: We encourage participants to add 'bits'—extra decorative elements like bubbles, arrows, or splashes to finish the piece.
The Big Reveal: We finish with a group photo session and a feedback round where students discuss each other's creative choices.
Cleanup: We ensure the site is left spotless, packing away all materials and ensuring all students are cleaned up and ready for their next lesson.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours, but we can customise this to fit your school's timetable.

Local culture

Biel (or Bienne) is a city that thrives on the edge of two cultures, making it an incredibly fertile ground for artistic expression. From the industrial architecture that dots the landscape to the hidden gems of street art near the lake and the railway station, Biel is a city that understands the power of the visual. Our workshops tap into this local 'Bilingue' energy, encouraging students to express their identity in a city that is constantly evolving. Whether we are inspired by the precision of the local watchmaking industry or the raw energy of the regional skate parks, we ensure our sessions feel connected to the unique pulse of life in the Canton of Bern.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible for schools while ensuring the highest quality of materials and instruction. Prices for a secondary school session in Biel generally range between CHF40 and CHF85 per student.

The final price depends on factors like the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and whether we are painting on boards or a permanent wall. Remember, we don't require any upfront payments—you only pay once the workshop is successfully completed!
