Why choose us in Bern?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next university outing in Bern? It’s the ultimate way to break the ice and spark some genuine creativity. Here is why students love it:

  • Ultimate stress relief: Nothing beats the pressure of exams like the physical release of spray painting a wall.
  • Teambuilding: Work together on a giant mural that represents your faculty or student club.
  • Real skills: Learn actual techniques from professional artists, not just "scribbling" on a wall.
  • Zero risk: No upfront payment required; we only get paid once the workshop is complete.
  • Insta-worthy: You'll end up with incredible photos and a sense of accomplishment that lasts.
  • All-inclusive: We handle the gear, the paint, and the masks—you just bring the energy.

How it works

  1. Intro and safety: We kick things off with a briefing on how to use the equipment safely and an introduction to graffiti culture.
  2. Can control: You'll learn the 'nozzle-knack'—how different distances and pressures change your lines.
  3. Sketching ideas: Grab some paper and pens to map out your collective design or individual tag.
  4. First layers: Head to the wall to apply your background colours and fill in the basic shapes of your piece.
  5. Defining lines: This is where it gets real; our artists show you how to 'cut' lines for that sharp, professional look.
  6. Adding shadows and highlights: Learn how to make your art pop off the wall using 3D effects and light spots.
  7. Final details: Add those extra flares, drips, and outlines that give street art its unique character.
  8. Group photo: Capture the finished masterpiece with the whole squad before the paint even dries!

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous artistic experience?

Absolutely! Most of our university participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, showing you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. You will be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques. By the end of the session, you'll have created a piece of art that looks like it belongs on a gallery wall.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective overalls, and gloves to every student. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated workshop spaces. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring everyone can focus on their creativity without worrying about their health or their clothes.

Where in Bern do the university workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations in Bern. We can host the workshop at a legal graffiti wall in the city, or if your university has a suitable outdoor courtyard or ventilated space, we can come to you. We handle all the protective floor coverings and set-up, so we leave the site exactly as we found it. Just let us know your preference when booking.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a large-scale collaborative mural or individual pieces. If you have a specific schedule or a shorter time slot during a student union event, we can adapt the programme to fit your needs perfectly.

What materials are included in the booking?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, caps for different line widths, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the 'canvas' (be it a wall, boards, or cellophane). You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. We handle all the logistics from start to finish.

Can you accommodate large student groups or societies?

Our university workshops are very popular for large groups, and we can easily accommodate 50+ students by bringing in additional professional artists. For smaller student societies or project groups, we offer a more intimate setting. No matter the size, we maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio to ensure everyone gets hands-on help and learns the real secrets of the street art world.

How do we handle payment and bookings?

One of our biggest advantages is our 'no upfront payment' policy. We trust our clients, so you pay only after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes it much easier for university treasurers and student unions to manage their budgets. We also have backup artists on standby for every booking, guaranteeing that your event will go ahead exactly as planned.
