Do I need any previous art experience to join?

No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops in Winterthur are designed specifically for beginners and tourists who want to try something new. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our participants haven't touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. Clothing protection is provided!

What should I bring to the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a creative session. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and respiratory masks for your safety. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space where you will create your art. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final piece of art. If you are on a tight holiday schedule, we can often adjust the timing to fit your itinerary. It’s the perfect midday break while exploring the industrial charm of Winterthur.

Is the spray painting process safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you don't inhale any fumes, along with gloves and protective suits. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations. Our instructors are highly experienced professionals who ensure a controlled, safe environment for everyone, from kids to adults, so you can focus entirely on the fun.

What makes the street art scene in Winterthur special?

Winterthur is famous for its 'Rote Fabrik' vibe and industrial history, making it a very cool spot for street art. While Zurich and Geneva have big scenes, Winterthur offers a more intimate, 'insider' feel. The city has several legal walls and a very supportive community for urban arts, which means you'll be painting in a location that feels authentic and truly connected to the local Swiss youth culture.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

We understand that travel plans can change! That's why we offer a very flexible booking policy. You don't have to pay anything upfront; you only pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to reschedule or cancel your visit to Winterthur, just let us know as soon as possible. We even have backup artists ready to go, so we almost never have to cancel on you.

Local culture

Winterthur has a unique 'edgy' charm that sets it apart from the polish of Zurich or Bern. Once an industrial powerhouse, many of its old factory buildings have been reclaimed by the creative community. This "City of Museums" has a secret double life on its brick walls and underpasses. By taking a workshop here, you're tapping into the same energy that fuels the local Sulzer Areal culture—a mix of grit, innovation, and artistic freedom.

Fun Fact: Winterthur is home to Switzerland’s largest pedestrian zone, but the real action happens in the outskirts where legal "Halls of Fame" allow local writers to keep the city's walls constantly evolving!
