How long does a typical birthday workshop last?

Most workshops in Lugano last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of learning time and creative execution without the kids losing focus. We find this timeframe is ideal for keeping the energy levels high from the first shake of the spray can to the final group photo with their finished masterpieces. Plus, it leaves plenty of time for cake afterwards!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children closely, ensuring they use the spray cans correctly and responsibly. We use low-odour, high-quality paint, and our chosen outdoor locations in Lugano are selected for good ventilation and a secure environment for the kids to enjoy.

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

Absolutely! While we have amazing outdoor spots near the lake, we always have backup plans. If the weather in Lugano doesn't cooperate, we can either move to a covered outdoor location or reschedule the session. Our goal is to ensure the birthday celebration happens no matter what, and our 'backup artist' system ensures we never cancel on you at the last minute.

What is the recommended age for a graffiti party?

We recommend a minimum age of 7 or 8 years old. At this age, children have the hand strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow instructions. For the younger ones, we keep the techniques simple and fun, while older kids and teenagers can dive into more complex shading and 3D effects. We tailor the difficulty level to the specific age group.

Do we need to bring any of our own supplies?

Everything is included! We provide the spray paint in a rainbow of colours, professional caps/nozzles, canvases or boards for the kids to paint on, and all necessary protective gear (gloves, masks, suits). You just need to bring the kids in some old clothes and shoes (just in case!) and, of course, the birthday energy. We handle the setup and the cleanup.

Do the children need to have any artistic talent?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our expert street artists will guide the group through the entire process, from learning how to hold the can to mastering basic 'tags' and 'throws'. By the end of the session, every child will have created something they are proud of, regardless of their previous artistic experience or skill level.

Where in Lugano do the workshops take place?

In Lugano, we primarily work at designated legal graffiti walls or specially arranged creative spaces that offer a safe environment. If you have a private space or a large garden with permission, we might be able to bring the workshop to you using mobile graffiti walls! Contact us to discuss the best location options near Lugano’s city centre or the surrounding Ticino area.

How much does a graffiti birthday party cost?

Our pricing in Lugano typically ranges from CHF40 to CHF85 per child. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the session, and any extra customisations you might want, like a larger master canvas for the birthday child. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and you only pay after the workshop is complete for total peace of mind.

Why choose a Graffitfun workshop for your next big bash in Lugano? Because we don't just 'do' parties—we create experiences. Here is why we are the go-to for creative parents in Ticino:

Expert Street Artists: Our crew consists of real graffiti pros who are as good with kids as they are with a spray can. 🎤
Zero Stress for Parents: We handle everything from the protective gear to the cleanup. You just bring the cake! 🍰
Total Safety: We use professional-grade masks and eco-friendly paint options to keep the little ones safe and healthy. 💪

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a quick introduction to the history of street art and a safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to handle the gear like a pro.
Sketching ideas: Before touching the cans, the kids brainstorm their designs on paper, learning how to structure letters and choose a 'street name'.
First lines: We head to the wall or canvas where our artists demonstrate 'can control'—learning how distance and speed change the spray.
Filling in: The kids start applying their primary colours, learning how to create solid fills and vibrant gradients across their pieces.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! We teach them how to add sharp outlines to make their graffiti pop and look professional.
Highlights and details: We add 'shine' and 3D effects to give the artwork depth, using different nozzle sizes for fine details.
The master collab: Usually, the group works together on a special piece for the birthday star, creating a massive collective work of art.
Photo op: We wrap up with a professional group photo in front of the finished masterpiece—the perfect memory to share!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2 hours of non-stop creativity.
Group Sizes: We cater to small groups and large parties (from 5 to 30+ kids).
Included: All spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks, gloves, suits), and canvases.
Safety: Professional supervision at all times with high-quality respiratory protection.
Flexibility: No deposit required! You pay after the fun is done.

Local culture

Lugano might be famous for its pristine lake and Mediterranean flair, but it also has a pulse of modern urban culture. Our workshops take place against the stunning backdrop of the Ticino mountains, often near the creative hubs like the LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura) area or local urban spots where street art is celebrated. We bring a bit of 'urban cool' to the sunny south of Switzerland, letting kids explore a different side of their city's aesthetic. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Lugano hosts several urban art festivals? The city is becoming a canvas for international artists, making it the perfect place for your little one to start their street art journey! 🎨
