How long does a typical after-school graffiti workshop last?

Our after-school sessions in Lugano typically run for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives the kids plenty of time to learn the basics, practice their can control, and finish their individual masterpieces without feeling rushed. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus while ensuring everyone walks away with a piece of art they are truly proud of.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized studios. Our professional artists are also trained to supervise the group closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely throughout the entire session.

Do the kids need any prior drawing or painting experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics of 'can control' and lettering. Our artists provide step-by-step guidance, so even kids who don't think they are 'artistic' end up creating something incredible. It is all about the process, the fun, and discovering a new way to express yourself through bold colours and shapes.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'old' clothes and sturdy trainers. Even though we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes! Think of it like a messy art class—it is better to wear something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. We provide all the professional gear, including masks and gloves.

What is the minimum age for the graffiti workshop?

We generally recommend our after-school programs for children aged 10 and up. This is usually when they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans effectively and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt sessions for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or specialized 'low-pressure' cans if needed. Just let us know the age range when booking!

How much does an after-school workshop cost in Lugano?

Our pricing in Lugano is flexible and depends on the number of participants and the specific setup you choose. Prices generally range from CHF 40 to CHF 85 per person. This includes all materials, professional artist tuition, and protective gear. Because every school group is different, we recommend hitting the 'Request a Quote' button so we can give you a tailored price for your specific needs.

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

If the Ticino weather doesn't play ball, don't worry! We have access to several covered outdoor locations and indoor studios in Lugano where we can safely spray. Alternatively, we can reschedule the session to a sunnier day. We always keep a close eye on the forecast and will coordinate with you 24-48 hours in advance if we think the weather might be an issue.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Lugano? It’s more than just painting; it's about empowerment and expression! 🔥

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they created from scratch gives kids an incredible sense of achievement. 💪
Stress relief: Spraying paint is a fantastic physical and emotional outlet after a long day of academic study.
Team building: Our communal mural options encourage students to communicate, plan, and execute a vision together. 🤝
Professional mentors: Learn from real-deal artists who live and breathe street culture, providing authentic inspiration. 🎤
Safety first: We use top-tier protective gear and low-odour paints, ensuring a worry-free experience for parents and teachers. 🏆

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of graffiti and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear correctly.
Design brainstorming: Kids grab paper and pencils to sketch out their ideas, focusing on tags, throw-ups, or 3D lettering styles.
Mastering the can: Under the eye of a pro artist, students learn 'can control'—how to make thin lines, fat fills, and smooth gradients.
Outline and fill: Time to hit the canvas! Participants start by outlining their design before filling it in with their favourite vibrant colours.
Adding the 'pop': We teach the secrets of highlights, 3D shadows, and 'force fields' (outer glows) to make the artwork stand out.
The final tag: Every artist needs a signature. Kids add their personal tag to finish their masterpiece.
Group gallery and photos: We finish with a 'gallery walk' to admire everyone's work and take some epic group photos for the school memories!
