Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Zurich. We provide all secondary school students with high-quality FFP3 respirators, protective overalls, and gloves. Our professional artists lead with a comprehensive safety briefing, explaining how to use the spray cans properly and maintain a safe distance. We only use low-odour, high-quality paint to ensure a comfortable environment for every participant throughout the creative process.

How long does a typical session last?

A typical workshop for secondary schools lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, sketching out ideas, learning various spray techniques, and finally completing a large-scale masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or project day requirements here in Switzerland.

Do we need to come to a studio, or can you come to our school?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Zurich if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can host your group at one of our vibrant local partner street art spots. We provide all the necessary floor protection and set up a professional mobile studio wherever we go.

Do students need previous artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex mural techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether a student is naturally artistic or has never held a spray can before, they will finish the day feeling proud of what they’ve created. It’s all about expression and fun!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We handle everything! The package includes premium spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas' (which could be a wall, large wooden panels, or individual canvases). We also bring sketching materials and inspiration boards. You just need to show up in old clothes and bring plenty of creative energy!

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for secondary education. It encourages teamwork, boosts self-esteem through tangible achievement, and offers a unique outlet for self-expression. It also helps students engage with urban culture and art history in a way that feels relevant to their lives. Plus, it’s a brilliant stress-buster for students facing exam pressures.

What happens if we need to cancel or change the date?

We understand that school plans can change. That’s why we offer a flexible booking policy with no upfront payment required—you pay after the workshop is completed. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists in the Zurich area, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will proceed as planned. Your peace of mind is guaranteed.

Safety First: Everyone gets geared up in protective suits and masks while we explain how to handle the equipment safely.
Mastering the Can: Students learn 'can control'—practising lines, dots, and fades on a practice surface.
Sketching the Vision: Working in teams or individually, students sketch their designs on paper before touching the wall.
The First Outline: Our artists guide students as they transfer their sketches to the large-scale surface.
Filling & Fading: This is where the magic happens! Students apply vibrant colours and learn blending techniques.
Shadows & 3D: We teach how to add depth and 'pop' to the letters using shadows and highlights.

Local culture

Zurich might be known as a global financial hub, but beneath its polished exterior lies a thriving and sophisticated street art scene. From the legal graffiti walls at the Rote Fabrik to the hidden murals in Zurich West, the city is a canvas for world-class artists. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students that art isn't just found in the museums of the Kunsthaus, but right on the streets they walk every day.

Fun Fact: Zurich was home to Harald Naegeli, the "Sprayer of Zurich," who began decorating the city's walls with his iconic stick figures back in the late 1970s, long before street art was globally "cool"!

We love bringing this local history into our sessions, helping Zurich’s youth feel a deeper connection to their urban environment through creative exploration. Whether we are working in Oerlikon or Enge, we celebrate the unique Swiss precision mixed with raw urban energy.

Pricing

We believe high-quality art experiences should be accessible. Our pricing for secondary school workshops in Zurich is transparent and flexible:
