What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

Wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on! While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is a messy art form and stray spray mist can sometimes find its way onto your shoes or sleeves. We recommend comfortable, closed-toe shoes and layers if we are working outdoors in the Lausanne breeze.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our workshops in Lausanne are designed for everyone from total beginners to closet creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from holding the can correctly to advanced fading techniques. You don't need any prior drawing skills to walk away with a piece of art you are genuinely proud of.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

The safety of our participants is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes, along with gloves and overalls. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor legal spots in Lausanne, and our instructors are trained to manage the equipment safely at all times.

How long does a typical public art session last?

Typical sessions last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, sketching out your ideas, and the main event—painting the wall! We find this timeframe is perfect for staying energised and focused without getting 'spray-finger' fatigue. Longer sessions are available for larger murals.

What happens if the weather is bad or an artist is sick?

At Graffitifun, we believe in 'fun first'. That’s why we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Additionally, we don't require upfront payments for most bookings—you pay after the workshop! We also have a network of backup artists in Switzerland, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event in Lausanne will still go ahead.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! While we often work on large collective murals, we can also arrange for individual canvases or boards. This is a popular option for those who want to take their masterpiece home to hang in their living room. Just let us know your preference when you book so we can bring the right supplies.

Local culture

Lausanne is a city that breathes creativity, from the world-class performances at the Opéra to the alternative vibes of the Flon district. While the city is famous for its steep hills and Olympic spirit, its street art scene is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. We often draw inspiration from the local scenery—the shimmering blues of Lake Geneva and the jagged peaks of the Alps often find their way into our participants' palettes.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Flon area used to be a valley of industrial warehouses? Today, it’s Lausanne's beating heart of modern architecture and urban art, proving that even the most functional spaces can become canvases for beauty! 🎨

Pricing

Our Lausanne graffiti experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can join the movement. 💸

Standard Workshop: From CHF 40 to CHF 85 per person.

Please note that final pricing depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and whether we are using individual canvases or a large public wall. We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden fees.
