How it works

  1. Intro and safety briefing: We kick off with a warm welcome and a quick rundown on how to use the gear safely. 🎨
  2. The tag creator: High-speed practice! Participants learn to design their own 'tag' or nickname using our digital tools and paper sketches.
  3. Can control basics: Our pros demonstrate different nozzles (caps) and how to control pressure for thin lines or fat fills. 💨
  4. Concept sketching: The group brainstorms a theme for their collective mural, sketching out ideas that represent their Milanese summer.
  5. First strokes: It’s time to hit the wall or canvas! Everyone starts by outlining their individual elements of the master design.
  6. Filling and fading: Learn the 'fade' technique to blend colours smoothly, making the artwork pop with professional depth. ✨
  7. The outline and highlights: The most satisfying part! Using a high-contrast colour to sharpen the edges and add 'shines' to the piece.
  8. Photos and cleanup: We take high-quality group photos of the masterpiece before tidying up our creative zone. 📸
  9. Masterpiece reveal: A final walk-through where everyone talks about their contribution to the urban art gallery!

Frequently asked questions

Do the children need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to join our Milan summer camp. Our professional artists are experts at teaching the basics, from how to hold a spray can to creating complex 3D effects. We focus on building confidence and having fun, ensuring every participant leaves with a piece of art they are truly proud of. It’s all about the journey of discovery!

Is the graffiti summer camp safe for kids?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones in Milan. Furthermore, we use professional-grade paints and provide constant supervision by our experienced graffiti artists to ensure a safe, organized, and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective overalls, graffiti art can occasionally be messy! It's best to be prepared so the kids can focus entirely on their creativity without worrying about their favorite outfits. Don't forget some sunscreen and a water bottle for those sunny Milanese days!

What is the age limit for the summer camp?

We generally welcome creative youngsters aged 8 to 18. For our summer camps in Milan, we often group participants by age to ensure the activities and complexity of the street art techniques are perfectly suited to their developmental stage. This allows peer-to-peer inspiration and ensures that everyone from pre-teens to older adolescents feels challenged and engaged throughout the week.

Where in Milan do the summer camp activities take place?

In Milan, we use a mix of legal public graffiti walls and private creative spaces. We often host sessions in areas known for their urban art culture, such as the Isola or Lambrate districts. The exact location depends on your group size and the specific dates, but we always ensure the spot is inspiring, safe, and easily accessible for parents and organisers.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard summer camp sessions typically run for about 2 to 3 hours per day, though full-day programs can be arranged. This timeframe is ideal for maintaining high energy levels and focus. During this period, participants move from sketching and technique practice to the final 'grand production' on the wall or canvas, ensuring a fast-paced and rewarding experience.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

We've got you covered! We have a dedicated team of backup artists ready to step in if someone falls ill, so your event is never at risk of cancellation. Additionally, if the Milanese weather decides not to cooperate, we have indoor alternatives or can use large canvases in sheltered areas. Your creative plans are safe with Graffitifun!
