Where Your Creative Journey Begins in Lausanne

Our workshops in Lausanne are typically held in accessible locations within the city or just on its periphery, chosen for their suitability for creative activities. We often utilise spaces in districts like Flon, known for its transformed industrial architecture and lively atmosphere, or areas near the university campus, offering a modern and dynamic setting. These locations provide ample space for creative expression away from the busiest tourist routes.

Groups meeting for their graffiti experience might find themselves in a designated area within one of Lausanne's urban zones, or in a more secluded spot that allows for focused artistic work. The specific venue will always be confirmed well in advance, ensuring it meets the needs of your group, whether you are a school, a company, or a private party. The aim is to provide an inspiring backdrop for your street art adventure.

Steg för steg

  1. Intro and safety: We kick things off with a brief history of the graffiti movement and a vital safety briefing. We'll get you geared up in your masks and gloves so you're ready to spray!
  2. First lines: Under the guidance of our pro artists, you'll learn how to control the pressure of the spray can to create different line thicknesses—it's all in the wrist!
  3. Tagging practice: Every artist needs a signature. We'll help you design and practice your own unique 'tag' on a practice surface to get your flow going.
  4. Sketching the piece: Now for the main event! We'll show you how to sketch out a larger 'piece' or a collaborative mural, focusing on letter structure and proportions.
  5. Fill-ins and fades: This is where the colour comes in. Learn how to fill your design smoothly and create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
  6. Outlining and highlights: To make your art pop, we'll teach you the secret of clean outlines and 'force fields' (outer glows) that give graffiti its 3D look.
  7. Final touches: Add the finishing details, drips, and sparkles that turn a good piece into a great one. Our artists will be right there to help with the fiddly bits!

Arriving for Your Lausanne Graffiti Experience

Reaching your graffiti workshop in Lausanne is straightforward, thanks to the city's excellent transport links. The main railway station, Lausanne Gare, is a central hub with connections across Switzerland and beyond. From there, public transport such as the M1 and M2 metro lines or various bus routes can take you to most parts of the city within minutes, including areas where our workshops are typically held.

For those arriving by car, Lausanne is well-served by major motorways like the A1 and A9. Parking can be found in various underground car parks throughout the city, particularly around areas like Flon. If you are organising a coach trip for a larger group, drop-off points near our workshop locations can usually be arranged, followed by parking in designated coach parks slightly outside the immediate city centre. The nearest international airport, Geneva Airport (GVA), offers direct train connections to Lausanne Gare.

Street Art and Creative Culture in Lausanne

While Lausanne may not be globally renowned as a street art capital, it possesses a subtle yet growing appreciation for urban art. You will find public art installations and murals dotted around, often integrated into urban regeneration projects or adorning underpasses. The city's artistic pulse can be felt in areas like the old town, with its charming boutiques and galleries, and in the more modern districts.

The local context for street art in Lausanne is one of thoughtful integration rather than widespread, spontaneous tagging. There is an increasing understanding of how public art can enhance urban spaces and foster community engagement. Our workshops tap into this evolving creative landscape, providing a platform for participants to contribute to and understand this artistic dialogue in a responsible and guided manner. It is about adding a splash of colour and creativity to Lausanne's already beautiful urban fabric.
