Is graffiti legal in St Gallen?

St Gallen is known for its beautiful historic architecture, and while we respect those heritage sites, the city has a growing appreciation for urban culture. We conduct our workshops at designated legal spray zones or private locations where graffiti is welcomed. This ensures you get an authentic street art experience without any legal worries. It's the perfect way to see a more modern, rebellious side of this traditional Swiss city!

Do I need to have any drawing skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting from how to hold the spray can to advanced fading techniques. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself, not about being a gallery-ready artist on day one.

What happens if it rains during the workshop?

Swiss weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If the weather in St Gallen isn't playing ball for an outdoor session, we usually have indoor alternatives or can rearrange the setup with gazebos. For larger groups, we often scout indoor industrial spaces that add to the authentic 'street' vibe of the workshop while keeping everyone dry and comfortable.

What should I bring or wear?

We provide all the professional gear you need, including high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, gloves, and protective suits. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! Your safety and comfort are our priorities, so we make sure everyone is geared up properly before we start spraying.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard public art session in St Gallen usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction, some practice runs on the 'training wall,' and then the creation of your final masterpiece. We don’t rush the process; we want you to feel the flow of the spray can and really get into the creative zone.

Can I book a workshop for a large group?

Absolutely! We love hosting groups of all sizes. Whether you are planning a unique team-building day with colleagues, a birthday surprise, or a Hen/Stag do, we can scale the experience to fit your needs. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets enough 1-on-1 guidance and plenty of time on the wall.

Local culture

St Gallen is a city of contrasts, where the UNESCO World Heritage heritage meets a flourishing modern art scene. While most tourists stick to the old town, the real creative energy can often be found in the outskirts and industrial zones. Our workshops embrace this spirit, moving away from the "lace and textiles" reputation to show you the gritty, colourful side of 21st-century Swiss culture. We often set up near spots that celebrate local creativity, giving you a taste of the authentic St Gallen lifestyle.

Fun fact: Did you know that St Gallen has a long history of design? While it's famous for high-end embroidery used by Balenciaga and Dior, the precision required in textile design actually translates perfectly to the intricate "can control" needed for top-tier graffiti! 🌍

Pricing

Our St Gallen workshops are priced competitively, ensuring you get the best professional street art experience in Switzerland. Prices typically range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person.

Please note that the final price depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and the specific materials or location setup required.
