We break everything down into manageable steps, ensuring that everyone walks away with a piece of art they are proud of, regardless of their starting skill level.

This includes professional-grade spray paint in a wide variety of colours, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective overalls, gloves, and high-standard masks. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of dust on.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respirator masks to protect against fumes, along with protective gloves and suits. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated legal graffiti zones in Bern. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a fun and risk-free environment for all participants.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

The weather in Bern can be unpredictable, but we have you covered. If the forecast looks poor, we can often relocate to a sheltered outdoor area or use our backup indoor facilities where we work on large canvases. If the weather makes it impossible to hold the session safely or comfortably, we offer flexible rescheduling options. We always have backup artists ready to ensure your event goes ahead smoothly.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard public art workshop in Bern typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a short history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. We can adjust the duration based on your group's specific needs or the complexity of the project you want to undertake.

Can I book a private workshop for a small group?

Absolutely! We love hosting private groups. Whether it is a birthday, a creative get-together with friends, or a unique family outing, we can tailor the session specifically for your party. We offer flexible scheduling and can even suggest some great local spots in Bern to grab a drink or a bite to eat after you have finished your spray painting session.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is simple and stress-free. You can reach out via our website to request a quote. Once we have agreed on a date, time, and group size, your booking is confirmed. The best part is that you don't need to pay anything upfront. We operate on a 'pay after the workshop' basis, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any payment is processed.
