Why choose us in Zurich?

Why settle for a boring meeting or a standard tour when you can do something that actually sticks? Our graffiti onboarding sessions are designed to break the ice and spark genuine connection. Here’s why Zurich loves painting with us:

  • Zero stress, all fun: You don't need an artistic bone in your body. We make the process easy and high-energy from start to finish. 🚀
  • No risk booking: With no upfront payment and backup artists always on standby, your event is in safe hands.
  • Professional artists: You aren't learning from 'instructors'; you're learning from real street artists who live and breathe this culture. 🎤
  • The ultimate icebreaker: Nothing builds a team like creating a giant, colourful wall of art together. It's the perfect 'onboarding' for new teams.
  • Takeaway masterpieces: Whether it's a digital photo of a mural or a physical canvas, you'll have a permanent memory of your Zurich adventure. 🏆
  • Fully mobile: From Basel to Bern, and especially right here in Zurich, we bring the party to you.

How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: Meet our pro artists at the Zurich location. We’ll kick things off with some cool street art history and a look at different styles.
  2. Gear up for safety: We’ll hand out your protective gear—overalls, gloves, and masks. Safety first, style second (but close behind!).
  3. The first spray: Learn the basics of 'can control'. Your instructor will show you how to pull lines, create dots, and manage pressure.
  4. Sketching the vision: Grab a marker or some chalk and sketch your design onto the wall or canvas. Our artists will help you with proportions and layout.
  5. Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to fill large areas smoothly and create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
  6. The 'Outliner' technique: Add the sharp outlines that make graffiti pop. This step requires a steady hand, but we’ll show you the pro tricks to get it right.
  7. Highlights and details: Add the finishing touches—shines, 'force-fields', and little details that make your piece unique.
  8. The grand reveal: Step back, remove the masks, and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo!
  9. Wrap up: We handle the entire cleanup. You leave with your head full of new skills and, depending on the setup, your own canvas to take home.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our onboarding workshops in Zurich are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, yet they leave with a finished masterpiece they're proud of. We focus on a fun, supportive atmosphere where experimentation is encouraged.

What equipment is included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that's a professional mobile wall or individual boards. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Is the paint safe and what safety gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We typically host our Zurich workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially ventilated indoor studios to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

How much does a graffiti workshop in Zurich cost?

The cost for an onboarding workshop in Zurich typically ranges between CHF 40 and CHF 85 per person. This variation depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and whether you want us to come to your location or use one of our partner spots. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and the best part is you only pay after the workshop is complete!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard onboarding sessions usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual piece. If you have specific time constraints for your Zurich event, we can easily tailor the schedule to fit your needs, or even extend it for a deeper 'masterclass' experience.

Where in Zurich do the workshops take place?

In Zurich, we have several cool partner locations, but we are also fully mobile! If you have a private backyard, a school playground, or a corporate car park with permission, we can bring the entire 'Graffiti Station' to you. If the weather is typically Swiss (unpredictable!), we have indoor options available to ensure your creative session goes ahead rain or shine without any stress.
