Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during the school holidays?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority during our school holiday workshops in Zurich. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children and teenagers, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly in a well-ventilated outdoor or indoor space. We use low-odour, high-quality paints to make the experience as comfortable and safe as possible for all participants.

Do the kids need any prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the basics, teaching simple techniques like 'tagging' and 'filling' before moving on to more complex designs. We provide all the templates and guidance needed so that every child walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about having fun and being creative!

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Since many of our Zurich sessions take place at vibrant outdoor locations, it’s also a good idea to check the weather forecast and bring an extra layer or a hat if it’s a sunny day.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops in Zurich typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the history of street art, practice basic techniques on plastic film, and then create a final masterpiece on a professional canvas or board. We find this duration keeps the energy high and the engagement levels peaking from start to finish!

What is the minimum age for participation?

We generally recommend our workshops for children aged 8 and up. This is because the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination to operate effectively. However, we are very flexible! If you have a group with slightly younger children, let us know, and we can adjust our teaching style or provide alternative creative tools to ensure everyone can join in the fun.

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

Zurich has a fantastic street art scene, but the weather can be unpredictable. If rain is forecast, we usually move the workshop to one of our cool indoor partner locations or covered outdoor spots. We always have backup plans and backup artists ready to go, so you don't have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining the holiday plans!

Can the kids take their artwork home with them?

Yes! One of the best parts of the Graffitifun experience is that every participant gets to take their own masterpiece home. Whether they've painted on a high-quality canvas or a sturdy board, it serves as a brilliant souvenir of their creative holiday in Zurich. It’s a great way for them to show off their new skills to friends and family!
