How it works

  1. The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro to street art culture and safety basics.
  2. Sketching ideas: Participants grab a sketchbook to plan their designs and choose their 'tag' names.
  3. Nozzle knowledge: Learn the difference between fat caps and skinny caps for different spray effects.
  4. First lines: Practise basic strokes, dots, and fades on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure.
  5. Outline phase: It's time to hit the main canvas! We help the kids sketch their masterpieces in scale.
  6. Fill-in fun: This is where the colour happens—learning how to layer paint without drips.
  7. The outline: Adding those sharp black contours that make the graffiti 'pop' off the wall.
  8. Highlights & details: Adding the final shines, bubbles, and 3D effects to finish the artwork.
  9. Gallery walk: A final group tour to admire everyone's work and take some epic photos!

Frequently asked questions

Is graffiti painting safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority at the Toulouse summer camp. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone clean and safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designed indoor spaces. Additionally, our professional artists are trained in safety protocols and provide constant supervision to ensure the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly throughout the entire session.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our summer camp activities are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the absolute basics, teaching nozzle control and simple lines before moving on to more complex techniques. We focus on building confidence and having fun, ensuring every participant walks away with a piece of art they are proud of.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'messy' clothes and sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit unpredictable! It's best to leave the brand-new trainers at home just in case. Since Toulouse can get quite warm in the summer, comfortable, breathable clothing is always a smart choice for our outdoor sessions.

What happens if it rains during the summer camp?

In the 'Villa Rose', we have several great options. If the weather is typically sunny, we use outdoor legal walls or mobile canvases in shaded areas. However, if we get a sudden summer shower, we have access to covered spaces and indoor studios where the creative fun can continue without interruption. We always have a backup plan to ensure the workshop goes ahead rain or shine!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard summer camp session in Toulouse usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn techniques, practice on practice walls, and then complete a final masterpiece. We can also arrange full-day 'intensive' programmes or multi-day sessions if you're looking for a more in-depth street art experience for your group.

What is included in the price of the workshop?

Our standard summer camp packages include everything needed for a successful creative day. This covers all professional-grade spray paint in a wide variety of colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on (canvases or boards). You'll also have the guidance of our expert local artists. There are no hidden costs—just bring your creativity and plenty of energy!

Can you host the workshop at our own summer camp location?

Yes, we are very flexible! While we have fantastic locations across Toulouse, we can also bring the graffiti experience to your specific summer camp location or community centre. As long as there is a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area with permission to paint, our mobile team can set up the boards and equipment to bring the street art vibe directly to you.
