Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most university students in Biel who join us have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert instructors who break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and pressure control before moving on to complex fills and outlines. You'll be amazed at the high-quality mural you can produce by the end of the session, regardless of your prior artistic talent.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience in Biel. This includes high-quality spray paint in a vast array of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also supply the canvases or mobile walls. The only thing your student group needs to bring is enthusiasm and perhaps some old shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no one inhales paint fumes. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every Biel workshop. We also conduct our university sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially ventilated indoor spaces to ensure a healthy environment for all participants.

How long does a typical university session last?

A standard university workshop in Biel typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a large-scale collaborative piece. If you have a specific schedule due to lectures or other campus events, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your timetable perfectly without sacrificing the quality of the experience.

Can you host the workshop directly on our campus in Biel?

Yes, we can! While we have several preferred legal graffiti spots around Biel, we are also fully mobile. We can set up temporary plastic 'cellophane' walls or use wooden panels right on your university campus or at a local event space. This makes it incredibly convenient for students to join in between classes or during a dedicated student association festival or orientation week.

How does the booking and payment process work?

Booking is simple and risk-free. You can reach out via our contact form to check availability for your preferred date in Biel. We don't require upfront payments; you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Plus, we have a pool of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will proceed as planned without any last-minute cancellations.

The experience

Taking your university group out of the classroom and into a graffiti workshop is a brilliant way to foster community and relieve academic stress. Here is why our Biel workshops are a top choice for students:

Foster collaboration: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication and teamwork, perfect for new student cohorts.
Stress relief: The physical act of spray painting is incredibly therapeutic and a great break from exam pressure.
Professional guidance: Learn from real street artists who share their secrets and professional techniques.
Customisable themes: We can tailor the artwork to reflect your subject of study, university values, or current student campaigns.
Zero risk: With our pay-after-service policy and backup artist guarantee, your event is in safe hands.
Unique memories: Create a lasting piece of art and take home photos that will be the highlight of the semester.

Step by step

Introduction and safety: We start with a brief history of street art and a vital safety demonstration regarding spray can usage.
Concept brainstorming: Your group decides on a theme or a 'tag' that represents your university faculty or student association.
Basic techniques: Learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths on practice surfaces.
Sketching the piece: Our artists help you scale up your design from paper to the wall using light 'sketch' colours.
Filling in: Students work together to fill the large blocks of colour, learning about fades and gradients.
Outlining: This is where the magic happens; we add sharp outlines to make the graffiti artwork pop against the background.
Highlights and details: Add the finishing touches, such as 'shines', '3D effects', and 'force fields' around the letters.
Group photo and feedback: We wrap up with a professional group photo in front of your masterpiece and a final review of the skills learned.

Good to know

Local culture

Biel/Bienne is a city where precision meets raw creativity. While famous for its world-class watchmaking, the city's urban landscape is peppered with hidden gems of street art that reflect its multicultural and bilingual identity. From the creative hubs around the Coupole to the industrial zones that have been reclaimed by local artists, Biel has an authentic underground vibe that makes it one of Switzerland's most interesting places for a graffiti workshop.

Our workshops tap into this local spirit. We don't just teach you how to paint; we connect you with the local "Bieler" street culture. By participating, your university group becomes part of the city's evolving visual dialogue, creating art that resonates with the bilingual energy of the region. Whether we are working near the lake or in the heart of the city, the atmosphere of Biel inspires every stroke of the spray can.
