How long is a typical graffiti workshop for secondary students?

The workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the basic strokes, practice their 'tagging' style on paper or practice boards, and finally create their masterpiece on the main wall or individual canvases. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit into your school's specific timetable or double-lesson blocks if needed. This ensures a relaxed but productive creative flow!

Is the spray paint safe for the students to use?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks to protect against fumes, as well as disposable overalls and gloves to keep school uniforms or clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and our professional instructors guide the students on safe handling techniques at all times. We recommend students wear 'old' shoes just in case, but we take every precaution to keep things tidy.

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! While we love the thrill of street art, we teach students the crucial difference between 'bombing' (illegal tagging) and 'pieces' (artistic works). We discuss the history of the movement and the importance of using legal zones or commissioned spaces. Our goal is to channel their energy into legal, creative expression that respects the local Winterthur community while still pushing their artistic boundaries.

What if some students have no artistic talent?

The best thing about graffiti is that it’s accessible to everyone. We often find that students who struggle with traditional fine arts thrive in our workshops because graffiti is about flow, scale, and bold movement rather than tiny details. Our artists are trained to support students of all skill levels, ensuring that every single person leaves with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

Where in Winterthur do the workshops take place?

We are flexible! If your school has a suitable outdoor wall (with permission) or a large courtyard, we can work there. If not, don't worry—we have access to professional partner locations in Winterthur, or we can bring mobile wooden partitions and canvases to your site. We handle all the setup and clean-up, so you don't have to worry about a drop of paint ending up where it shouldn't.

Can the students work on one big mural together?

Yes! One of the most popular options for secondary schools is the 'legacy wall' project. Students work together to design and paint a large-scale mural that can be displayed in the school long-term. This fosters incredible teamwork and gives the teenagers a sense of ownership over their school environment. Alternatively, everyone can create their own individual piece to take home. The choice is yours!

What is the maximum group size for a school session?

We recommend a minimum of 10 participants, but we can easily handle large year groups of 100+ students. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to maintain a high student-to-teacher ratio. This ensures everyone gets the individual attention and nozzle-time they need to master the craft. Just let us know your group size and we will handle the logistics.

The 3D Effect: Our instructors show the kids how to add shadows and 3D effects to make their designs pop off the surface.

Local culture

Winterthur is often overshadowed by its bigger neighbour, Zurich, but for art lovers, it's a true hidden gem. Known as the "City of Museums," Winterthur has a rich cultural soul that extends far beyond traditional galleries. The city's industrial heritage, particularly in the Sulzer Areal, has created a natural playground for urban culture and street art. 🎨

The local street art scene here is vibrant yet respectful, reflecting the city's unique mix of tradition and innovation. We love bringing our workshops to "Winti" because the students here have a fantastic appreciation for the balance between raw urban energy and Swiss precision. It’s a city where a classic art museum is just a short walk away from a world-class skate park and legal graffiti spots.

Fun Fact: Did you know Winterthur has the highest density of museums per inhabitant in Switzerland? It's literally built for creative minds! 🏆
