Because every school has different needs—whether it's painting a permanent mural on a campus wall or a temporary session on canvases—the final price depends on the group size and the specific setup of your event. The larger the group, the lower the price per person! 💸

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including FFP3 masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors in Lucerne are trained to manage school groups, ensuring every student follows safety protocols while having a blast. We choose well-ventilated outdoor spots or suitable indoor spaces to make sure everyone breathes easy while they create.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our workshops are incredibly flexible! A standard school session in Lucerne usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, just let us know and we can adjust the rhythm.
What is the maximum group size for a school event?
We can accommodate almost any group size. Whether it is a small art class of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we have the staff and resources to handle it. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every student gets individual attention and guidance. We believe everyone deserves a chance to express themselves, no matter how big the class!
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Rain won't stop the creativity! Lucerne weather can be unpredictable, so we always have a backup plan. We can often use covered outdoor locations or arrange for an indoor setup using low-odour water-based paints and proper ventilation. Additionally, we have backup artists on standby for every booking, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation from our side.
Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?
Everything is included in the price. We provide all the professional spray cans (in a huge range of vibrant colours), protective clothing (masks, gloves, and suits), and the surfaces to paint on (either a large collective wall or individual canvases). The only thing the students need to bring is their enthusiasm and perhaps some old clothes and shoes, just in case a little paint wanders!
Do the students need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our Lucerne-based artists are experts at breaking down complex mural techniques into easy, bite-sized steps. We guide the students through sketching, "can control," and layering. By the end of the session, even students who claim they 'can’t draw' are always amazed by the professional-looking street art they have managed to create.
How do we handle the payment and booking process?
We make the booking process as stress-free as possible for schools. There is no upfront payment required to secure your date; you can pay via invoice after the workshop has successfully taken place. We also provide instant estimates through our Cost Calculator and can supply all necessary risk assessment documentation to satisfy school board requirements. Just reach out, and we will handle the logistics!
