Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Our priority is keeping your students safe and the school premises clean. We use high-quality spray paints and provide every participant with a professional protective suit, gloves, and a mask (FFP2). We also use floor protection to ensure no paint ends up where it shouldn't. Our artists are experienced in managing secondary school groups, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast.

Where in St Gallen do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds in St Gallen if there is a suitable outdoor space. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local legal graffiti wall or a creative studio space. If you want to keep the artwork, we can work on large canvases or wooden panels that the school can display permanently in the hallways!

Do students need any prior artistic experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional artists start with the very basics—how to hold the can and control the pressure—before moving on to more complex techniques. We find that even students who claim they 'can't draw' end up creating incredible pieces they are genuinely proud of by the end of the session.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final large-scale masterpiece. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific school timetable or double-up sessions for larger year groups if required.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! This includes all premium spray paint cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), caps (nozzles), and the surfaces to paint on. We even bring cleaning materials. Students just need to wear comfortable clothes they don't mind getting a little dusty, and bring plenty of creative energy!

What are the educational benefits for my students?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for boosting self-esteem and encouraging teamwork. It allows students to express their identity in a non-traditional way. Many teachers find that students who struggle in a classic classroom environment truly shine during our workshops. It’s about more than just art; it’s about confidence, planning, and seeing a large-scale project through from start to finish.

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

St Gallen weather can be unpredictable! If we are planning an outdoor session and rain is forecast, we usually try to find a covered outdoor area or move the workshop to a well-ventilated indoor space using water-based, low-odour paints. We also have backup artists available, so your booking is secure even if an artist falls ill. We'll always find a solution!

The experience

A graffiti workshop isn't just about painting walls; it's about building confidence and teaching students that their voices matter. Here’s why schools in St Gallen love working with us:

Boosts Creativity: For many students, traditional art can feel restrictive. Graffiti offers a free-form, exciting way to explore colour and shape. 🚀
Team Building: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication, compromise, and collective effort.
Professional Guidance: Our artists are mentors who teach technique, safety, and the culture of respect within the art world.
Low Stress for Teachers: We handle everything from the setup to the cleanup. You just provide the space and the students! 🔥
Unique Portfolio Piece: Students walk away with photos of their work and a sense of achievement they can use in future art applications.

Step by step

Introduction & culture: We kick things off with a brief, high-energy talk about the history of graffiti, from New York subways to the streets of St Gallen, explaining the difference between tagging and street art.
Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear. We explain how to use the masks and spray cans safely and responsibly.
Mastering the nozzle: Students start with 'can control' exercises, learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients on practice surfaces.
Sketching the vision: Working in small teams, students brainstorm their designs, focusing on typography, 3D effects, and colour schemes.
The first layer: Time to hit the wall! Students apply their background colours and 'fill-ins' to bring the initial shapes to life.
Cutting & outlining: This is where the art pops. We teach them how to add crisp outlines and highlights to give their letters dimension.
Final details: Students add 'funs'—those extra splashes of paint, stars, or patterns that make a piece unique.
The big reveal: We finish with a group photo session in front of the completed mural, giving the students a moment to celebrate their collective hard work.

Good to know

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

Backup: We have a reliable network of artists, so your event is guaranteed to go ahead! 🛡️

Local culture

St Gallen might be famous for its UNESCO-protected Abbey and world-class textiles, but there is a growing urban heart beating beneath the surface. From the colourful "Stadtlounge" (Red Square) to the evolving street art scene near the Lattich area, the city is a perfect backdrop for creative exploration. Our workshops tap into this local spirit of innovation and design. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that St Gallen's "Red Square" is actually an open-air public lounge? It’s exactly that kind of bold, urban thinking we encourage in our students! We love bringing that same sense of public art and community space into the school environment, showing pupils that their city belongs to them. 🏆

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing tailored to your school's specific needs. Factors like group size and the choice of materials (like large wooden panels vs. canvases) will influence the final cost.

Estimated range: CHF 40 – CHF 85 per student

No upfront payment is required – you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed! We want to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the experience.
