Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Cologne workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with a bit of a creative flair. Our pro artists will walk you through the basics of can control, nozzle types, and layering techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It’s all about having a laugh and trying something new with your university mates.

Is the workshop safe and what should we wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also conduct a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated street art spots in Cologne to ensure a safe and fun environment for all students.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before completing a final group or individual project. If you have a specific schedule or want a longer 'intensive' session, we can easily customise the timing to fit your university event.

What is the maximum group size for a cologne university event?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small student society of 10 people or a whole faculty bringing 100+ students for an orientation week, we have the staff and equipment to handle it. We have a team of backup artists in Cologne to ensure your event goes ahead smoothly, regardless of the group size. Larger groups are often split into smaller teams to ensure everyone gets hands-on time.

Where in Cologne do the workshops take place?

We generally use legal graffiti walls around Cologne, such as those in Ehrenfeld or near the Rhine, providing an authentic street art experience. However, if your campus has a suitable outdoor space and permission, we can often bring the workshop to you! We can also set up mobile wooden partitions or large canvases if a permanent wall isn't available. Just let us know your preference when booking.

What materials are included in the booking?

Everything is included in the price! We provide professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, different nozzles (caps) for various effects, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. You don't need to bring a thing—just your energy and some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on. We even handle the teardown and cleanup afterwards.

Do we need to pay in advance?

We believe in a stress-free booking process for students. You don't need to pay anything upfront. Once the workshop is finished and you’re 100% satisfied with the experience, we’ll handle the payment. This makes it much easier for university societies to manage their budgets and ensures you only pay for a service you’ve fully enjoyed. Ready to book? Just request a quote!

Safety first: Everyone gets kitted out in masks, gloves, and suits while we explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
Can control basics: Our pros show you how to hold the can, swap nozzles, and manage pressure to create thin lines and fat fills.

Colour & fill: Dive into the paint! Start filling in your shapes and experimenting with gradients and colour blends.
Outlining & shines: Add the 'pop' to your art by adding sharp outlines and white highlights to make the piece look 3D.

Local culture

Cologne is a city that breathes art, from the towering Gothic spires of the Dom to the vibrant murals of the Belgisches Viertel and Ehrenfeld. The street art scene here is legendary, with local and international artists turning the city’s brickwork into a massive open-air gallery. By choosing a graffiti workshop here, you're stepping into a long-standing tradition of creative expression that defines the modern Kölner lifestyle. 🏰

Fun fact: Cologne is home to the 'CityLeaks' Festival, one of the most prominent street art festivals in Europe, which has helped transform the city's industrial areas into colourful landmarks! 🌈

Whether you're studying at the University of Cologne, TH Köln, or any of the city's many creative colleges, our workshops help you connect with the urban landscape in a way that most people never get to experience. We often host our sessions near iconic spots, allowing the local atmosphere to fuel your design ideas.

Our university workshops are priced to be accessible for student budgets while maintaining the highest quality of materials and instruction. No hidden fees, just pure creative fun!
