How it works

  1. Intro & inspiration: We start with a brief history of urban art and a safety briefing to get everyone hyped and ready.
  2. The tag creator: Students brainstorm their 'street names' and learn how to design a unique tag.
  3. First lines: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching kids how to handle the pressure and nozzle properly.
  4. Sketching the piece: We move on to sketching out a larger design on the wall or canvas, focusing on scale and layout.
  5. Fill-ins & fades: This is where the colour happens! Students learn how to blend colours and fill in their shapes smoothly.
  6. The outline: Using a contrasting colour, we define the edges to make the artwork pop off the surface.
  7. Highlights & 3D: We add those professional finishing touches like 3D shadows and bright highlights for that 'wow' factor.
  8. The big reveal: We step back to admire the collective work and take group photos with the final masterpiece.

Frequently asked questions

Do the children need any artistic experience?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to participate in our Geneva workshops. Our professional artists are experts at guiding beginners through the basics of spray painting. We start with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. By the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw' will be amazed at the vibrant street art they've managed to create. It's all about fun and expression!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks to prevent inhalation of paint fumes, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated workshops in Geneva. Our artists are trained to supervise groups safely, ensuring everyone handles the cans correctly while maintaining a secure and respectful environment for all participants.

What should the participants wear?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and spray paint is notoriously difficult to get out of fabric. It's best to come prepared to get creative without worrying about your favourite outfit. In Geneva's variable weather, wearing layers is also a smart idea for our outdoor sessions.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school workshops in Geneva typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the history of street art, practice basic 'can control' techniques, and complete a final collaborative or individual masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit specifically within your school's extracurricular timetable or specific project requirements. Quality and engagement are our main goals during every minute of the session.

What is the cost for an after-school workshop in Geneva?

The price typically ranges from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. The final cost depends on several factors, including the total number of students, the location of the workshop, and whether we are painting on a temporary wall, canvases, or a permanent school surface. We offer competitive rates for local Geneva schools and can provide various packages to suit different budgets. Reach out for a custom quote to get the most accurate pricing!

Where in Geneva do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises if there is a suitable outdoor wall or paved area available. Alternatively, we have access to various creative legal graffiti spots and indoor workshops across Geneva. If the weather is particularly bad, we have backup plans or can reschedule to ensure the kids still get the best possible experience without the rain dampening their creative spirits!
