How long does a typical secondary school workshop last?

Most secondary school workshops in Lugano last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for a solid introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, and plenty of hands-on spraying time. We find this duration perfectly matches the concentration span of teenagers while ensuring they complete a piece of art they are truly proud of.

Is the activity safe for teenagers?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overall suits to keep students safe and their school uniforms clean. Our instructors are professional artists trained in managing large groups, and we only use spray paints that meet strict safety standards. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that all students follow our 'spray-safe' guidelines at all times.

Do students need prior artistic experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops in Lugano are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a talented illustrator or has never held a pencil, our step-by-step guidance ensures everyone creates something amazing. We focus on the process, confidence-building, and self-expression rather than 'perfect' technique. You'll be surprised at the hidden talents that emerge when students get a spray can in their hands!

What happens if it rains on the day?

In the beautiful setting of Lugano, we prefer working outdoors to soak up the atmosphere and ensure maximum ventilation. However, we have solid backup plans! If the weather turns, we can often move to covered outdoor areas or use indoor spaces with specialized low-odour paints and extra protection. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your scheduled event goes ahead regardless of minor hitches.

What are the educational benefits of the workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for secondary schools! It promotes teamwork as students collaborate on large murals, boosts confidence through the mastery of a new medium, and provides a healthy outlet for creative expression. It also touches on subjects like modern history, urban geography, and visual arts, making it a well-rounded educational experience that students actually find 'cool'. It’s an unforgettable way to build class spirit.

How does the payment process work for schools?

We make it easy for Lugano schools! No upfront payment is required to secure your booking; you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Our pricing is transparent and includes all materials, protective gear, and expert tuition. Factors like group size and selected location influence the final cost, so we always recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate figure.

Step by step

Intro and inspiration: Our professional artist meets the group in Lugano and kicks things off with an energetic intro to the world of street art and its history.
The power of the tag: Students start by designing their own 'tag' or alias on paper, learning about letter shapes, flow, and personal branding.
Safety first: Everyone gets geared up! We distribute masks, gloves, and protective suits while explaining how to handle the spray cans safely.
First lines: On giant canvases or mobile walls, students practice basic techniques like 'fading', 'outlining', and controlling pressure.
The master plan: Working in small teams, the students sketch out a larger concept, deciding on colours and themes that represent their group.
Filling and layering: The real fun begins as the vibrant CHF-standard paints are applied, bringing the sketches to life with bold colours and 'fills'.
Refining the edges: Our artists help students add the finishing touches, highlights, and '3D effects' that make the artwork pop.
The big reveal: We take a moment to admire the finished mural, discuss the creative choices made, and take some epic group photos!
Cleanup: We handle the tidy-up, leaving the site as clean as we found it, while the students take away their new-found skills and memories.

Local culture

Lugano isn't just about luxury watches and stunning lakeside vistas; it’s a city with a growing appreciation for urban expression. While the city's architecture is steeped in history, the creative pulse of the youth in Ticino is undeniable. We love bringing our workshops to this unique crossroads of Swiss precision and Mediterranean flair. From the artistic vibes near the LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura) to the local parks where creativity can run wild, we take pride in adding a splash of colour to the local school curriculum.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Lugano is home to several legal "Hall of Fame" walls where local artists can hone their craft? It's a city that understands the balance between urban heritage and modern street art culture! 🏙️

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Depending on the size of your group and the specific requirements of your school event, prices typically range from CHF 40 to CHF 85 per student. We believe in transparency and providing the best value for Lugano’s educational community.

Because every school project is unique—whether it's a small art club or a massive school-wide festival—we offer tailored packages to suit your budget. 💰
