Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop?
Absolutely no experience is required! Most of our guests in Addis Ababa are picking up a spray can for the very first time. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to the advanced shading techniques needed to create that 3D 'pop.' We focus on fun and creativity, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are truly proud of.
Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We typically host our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor studios with proper airflow. Our professional instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a worry-free and creative environment for all participants in Ethiopia.
How long does a typical session last?
Standard 3D street art workshops in Addis Ababa usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of graffiti, a demonstration of 3D techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. For larger company events or more complex mural projects, we can extend the duration to fit your schedule. We always ensure the pace is relaxed and enjoyable.
What is the minimum group size for a booking?
For our standard workshops, we recommend a minimum of 5 to 10 people to get the best group dynamic. However, we can accommodate very large groups of 100+ for corporate events or school festivals. If you have a smaller group, feel free to reach out, and we will see how we can make it work for you. We are flexible and love bringing people together!
Can you host the workshop at my specific location in Addis?
Yes, we are fully mobile! While we have preferred locations around Addis Ababa, we can bring the entire 3D street art experience to your office, school, or private backyard. All we need is a suitable wall or we can set up professional plastic partitions and canvases. We handle the setup and the cleanup, so you can focus entirely on the creative process.
What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?
We understand that plans can change. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible. We even have backup artists on standby to ensure that your event goes ahead even if an instructor falls ill. Your peace of mind is important to us.
How does 3D street art differ from a regular graffiti workshop?
The 3D street art workshop is uniquely designed to teach perspective and 'anamorphic' art—the kind that looks like it is jumping off the wall! While our standard workshops focus on lettering and tags, the 3D workshop dives deeper into shadows, highlights, and optical illusions. It is a slightly more technical but incredibly rewarding way to experience the world of contemporary street art.
