Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure every student stays clean and safe. While our suits are great, we always recommend students wear 'painting clothes' and old trainers just in case. Safety is our top priority, so we also conduct a thorough briefing on how to use the spray cans responsibly before the caps even touch the cans. Everyone is well-protected!
Where in Lugano do the school workshops take place?
We can host the workshop at your school premises in Lugano if you have a suitable outdoor area, or we can arrange a professional location or legal graffiti wall nearby. We are flexible and can travel to your campus with all the necessary equipment. If you choose to host it at school, we ensure the surrounding area is protected with drop cloths so that only the canvases get painted!
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your schoolâs double-period schedule or a full-day 'project week' format if you have more time to dive deep.
What is the maximum group size for a school event?
For school groups, we generally recommend a minimum of 10-15 students and can accommodate groups as large as 100+ by bringing in additional professional artists. We maintain a high artist-to-student ratio to ensure everyone gets personal guidance. If you have a very large year group, we can split the session into morning and afternoon blocks so that every student gets a hands-on experience without it being overcrowded.
Do the students need to have prior artistic skills?
No talent required! Our artists are experts at teaching the 'building blocks' of graffiti. We guide students through simple stepsâfrom drawing basic letters to adding shadows and highlights. By the end of the session, even the students who claim they 'canât draw a stick figure' are usually amazed at the vibrant, professional-looking street art theyâve created. Itâs all about the technique, not just natural talent.
Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?
Yes, we love it when schools have a specific project in mind! Whether it's a 'sustainability' theme, school values, or a specific historical period, we can tailor the workshop to meet your curriculum goals. Many schools in Lugano use our workshops to brighten up a dull wall on campus with a permanent mural that represents the school's identity, making the learning experience even more meaningful and lasting.
What is the booking process and do we pay upfront?
Booking is easy and stress-free. You can contact us via our website for a custom quote. We don't require any upfront paymentâyou simply pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a cancellation. Once we agree on a date and time, we handle the rest of the logistics so you can focus on your students.
