Who is this graffiti training for?

Our teacher training sessions are specifically designed for educators, art teachers, and youth workers. We focus on bridging the gap between traditional art curriculum requirements and the high-energy world of modern street art. You’ll learn how to teach the technical aspects of spray painting while maintaining a structured, safe classroom environment that inspires students who might be less engaged with classical art forms. It’s professional development that actually feels like a creative break!

Do I need any previous graffiti experience?

No previous experience is required! We start with the absolute basics of can control and safety before moving into more advanced techniques. Whether you\'re a seasoned art teacher who has never touched a spray can or someone with a bit of a background in street art, our professional graffiti artists will meet you at your skill level. Our goal is to give you the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions effectively.

Is the workshop safe for an educational setting?

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority, especially for training designed to be brought into schools. We cover everything from the proper use of protective gear (masks and gloves) to selecting low-odour paints and maintaining proper ventilation. You will leave the workshop with a clear safety checklist that you can use when organising graffiti events for your own students in Winterthur or beyond.

How long does the training session last?

A standard training session in Winterthur usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. During this time, we move from theory and sketching to hands-on practice on large surfaces. We find this timeframe is the sweet spot for learning the essential 'muscle memory' of spray painting without becoming overwhelmed. If you have specific curriculum goals, we can adjust the duration to suit your needs.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes high-quality spray paint, various nozzle types (caps), protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. You don’t need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm. We also provide digital resources and templates after the session that you can use to help plan your future lessons or workshops.

Can the training take place at my school?

We are incredibly flexible with locations. We can host the training at one of our dedicated street art spots in the Winterthur area, or we can come directly to your school or community centre if you have a suitable outdoor space. If you're unsure about your site's suitability, just let us know, and we can perform a quick assessment to ensure it's safe for spray painting.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Yes! We provide certificates of completion for all participants. These certificates outline the skills you’ve mastered, including can techniques, safety protocols, and lesson planning. Many teachers in the Canton of Zurich use these certificates as proof of professional development. It’s a fantastic way to show your commitment to bringing contemporary, urban art forms into the modern classroom.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your next professional development day? Beyond the sheer fun of it, street art is a powerful tool for student engagement and modern art education. Here is why educators in Winterthur love our training:

Engagement Hook: Graffiti is a "cool" medium that reaches students who might usually tune out during traditional art history. 🎤
Low-Stakes Creativity: Spray paint allows for quick corrections and bold moves, helping students overcome the "fear of the blank page."
Interdisciplinary Learning: Connect art to chemistry (paint composition), maths (scaling sketches), and social studies (urban culture). 🧪
Expert Mentorship: Learn from actual graffiti artists who live and breathe the culture, not just from a textbook.
Versatile Skills: Use your new skills for school murals, festival backdrops, or even kids parties and school projects.
Ready-to-Use Resources: Get access to our Tag Creator and workshop quizzes to use in your own classroom. 🔥

Step by step

Introduction & Theory: We start with a brief history of graffiti culture and how it evolved into the global street art movement we see today.
Safety Briefing: You'll learn about the essential PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and how to set up a safe workspace for students.
Sketching Your Vision: Before the paint flies, we'll guide you through sketching layouts and understanding "letter flow" on paper.
Can Control 101: Our artists show you the "distance and speed" rule to prevent drips and achieve clean lines.
Mastering the Caps: You'll experiment with fat caps and skinny caps to understand how different nozzles create different effects.
Colour Theory & Blending: Learn how to create vibrant gradients and 3D shadows that make your artwork pop off the wall.
Collaborative Mural: Work together on a large-scale piece, practicing the same teamwork you'll expect from your students.
Critique & Classroom Tips: We wrap up by discussing how to grade graffiti projects and manage classroom dynamics during messy art sessions.

Local culture

Winterthur isn't just Zurich's "little brother"—it's a cultural powerhouse in its own right, known for its incredible museums and the famous Sulzer Areal. This industrial heritage provides the perfect aesthetic foundation for street art. In a city where "Technorama" meets traditional Swiss charm, graffiti offers a bridge between technology and raw creativity. 🏗️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Winterthur is often called the "City of Museums"? While the Oskar Reinhart collection is world-class, the city's streets are increasingly becoming a museum of their own, with hidden murals tucked away in the former industrial quarters. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the city's unique mix of sharp engineering and creative rebellion. ✨
