Do the children need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! No previous artistic experience is required for our Lugano summer camp sessions. Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether your child is a budding Picasso or has never held a spray can before, we provide a supportive environment where every participant can feel proud of the masterpiece they create by the end of the day.

Is the spray paint safe for kids to use?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are seasoned professionals who give a comprehensive safety briefing before any paint is sprayed. We also ensure that we work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated spaces in Lugano that meet all health and safety regulations.

What should my child wear to the summer camp?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'old' clothes and sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective overalls, graffiti can be a messy business and stray drops of paint have a way of finding their way onto sleeves or trainers! It's best to dress for a fun, creative day outdoors in the beautiful Ticino sunshine.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Our summer camp sessions in Lugano typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques, and complete a final large-scale project without feeling rushed. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus while ensuring everyone goes home with a finished piece of art they love.

When do we need to pay for the workshop?

One of the biggest perks of booking with Graffitifun is our flexibility. We offer a 'no cure, no pay' philosophy where no upfront payment is required. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. We accept various payment methods including bank transfers and digital options, making the booking process as stress-free as possible for parents and organisers.

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

In the rare event of a sudden Swiss downpour, we have several backup plans. Many of our Lugano locations have sheltered outdoor areas that allow us to keep painting while staying dry. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can often relocate to an indoor venue or reschedule the session. Plus, with our team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel a workshop entirely.

Are there group projects involved?

Yes! Creating something together is a core part of our philosophy. While kids get to practice individual skills, we usually conclude with a large-scale 'mural' project where the whole group collaborates on a single, massive piece of art. This teaches teamwork, communication, and how to blend different creative styles into one cohesive vision—plus, the results are always absolutely spectacular to look at!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your summer camp in Lugano? Because ordinary crafts are so last year! Here is why our street art sessions are the highlight of the summer:

Total creative freedom: No "correct" way to do it—we encourage every child to find their own unique voice. 🎤
Pro-artist mentors: Learn from real graffiti pros who are as passionate about teaching as they are about art.
Confidence booster: Watch their faces light up as they see a small sketch turn into a 3-metre tall masterpiece. 💪
Stress-free for organisers: We bring everything! Paint, masks, protection—you just provide the kids and the energy.
Safety-focused: We use the best gear and provide clear, professional instruction to keep everyone safe and clean. 🏆
Insta-worthy results: The final artwork makes for incredible photos and memories that last a lifetime.

Step by step

The warm-up: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to the world of graffiti and street art culture.
Master the tools: Kids learn how to handle a spray can correctly, including finger placement and pressure control.
Sketching your style: Participants grab markers to design their tags and 'pieces' on paper before moving to the wall.
Lines and fades: We practice fundamental techniques like making thin lines, fat caps, and smooth colour gradients.
Outline and fill: The real fun begins as we start filling in the large shapes of our designs with vibrant Swiss colours.
Adding the 'pop': Instructors show how to add shadows, highlights, and 3D effects to make the art jump off the surface.
The final tag: Every artist signs their work, just like the pros, adding those crucial finishing decorative touches.
Cleanup and photos: We tidy up the area and take epic group photos with the finished masterpiece for the 'gram!

Local culture

Lugano isn't just about luxury watches and lakeside promenades; it has a vibrant, burgeoning urban soul! While the city is famous for its Mediterranean flair and the stunning Parco Ciani, the street art scene in the Ticino region is growing fast. We draw inspiration from the colourful murals found in the nearby 'Arte Urbana' projects that have transformed local walls into open-air galleries. Painting here, with the crisp Alpine air and the Italian-influenced architecture surrounding us, adds a unique vibe you won't find anywhere else in Switzerland.

Fun Fact: Did you know Lugano has its own dedicated "Urban Art" commission? The city actively collaborates with artists to decorate public spaces, meaning your kids are learning a craft that Lugano truly celebrates! 🏔️

Pricing

How much does it cost?

Our workshop prices typically range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person.

The final price depends on your total group size, the duration of the session, and the specific materials chosen. We believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we offer a best-price guarantee for our Lugano sessions.
