Do the students need any previous art experience?

No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our secondary school and after-school workshops in Addis Ababa are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those who love to doodle. Our professional artists guide the kids through every single step, from holding the can correctly to layering colours. It is all about having fun, being bold, and learning a new way to express oneself in a supportive environment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones. We also use premium spray paint brands that comply with safety standards, and our sessions are always led by experienced professionals who supervise the group closely at all times.

How long does a typical afternoon session last?

A standard after-school graffiti session in Addis Ababa typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques on plastic film or practice walls, and then complete their final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific extracurricular schedule or afternoon timetable if required.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides professional-grade spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, masks, and gloves. We even provide the 'canvas'—whether that is a temporary wall, wooden panels, or large stretches of cellophane. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your creative energy!

Can you accommodate large groups of students?

We are very flexible with group sizes. Whether you have a small club of 10 students or a large group of 40, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we simply send additional professional artists to ensure every student gets personal attention and guidance. This maintains the quality of the experience and ensures everyone finishes their artwork with a sense of pride.

What happens if we need to cancel or change the date?

We understand that school schedules can change. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Additionally, we have a pool of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will still go ahead as planned. We strive to be the most reliable extracurricular partner in Ethiopia.

Can the workshop take place at our school premises?

Absolutely! While we often work at dedicated street art spots in Addis, we can also bring the workshop directly to your school grounds. We use mobile walls or stretch plastic film between trees or poles to create a temporary 'graffiti zone' that leaves no permanent marks. This is a very popular option for after-school programs looking for on-site activities without the travel logistics.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your afternoon program? It is more than just an art class; it is an experience that resonates with today’s youth. Here is why we are the top choice in Ethiopia:

Real professional artists: Your students won't just learn from teachers, but from active street artists who know the craft inside out.
Total reliability: With our backup artist system, you never have to worry about a "no-show" ruining your school’s schedule.
No financial risk: You don't pay a cent until the workshop is over and everyone is happy.
Boosts confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement.
Promotes teamwork: Many of our after-school projects involve creating a "mural" where everyone must collaborate to succeed.
Safety first: We use the best masks and gear to ensure a clean, safe environment for every child.

Step by step

Introduction and safety briefing: We start with a warm welcome and explain how to use the equipment safely, including the proper use of masks and gloves.
History and culture: Students get a quick, engaging briefing on the transition from traditional graffiti to modern street art culture.
Spray can techniques: We teach the basics, like how to control pressure, create thin lines, fill large areas, and choose the right caps for different effects.
Sketching the design: Everyone starts by sketching their ideas on paper or directly onto the surface with a light colour to map out their vision.
Outline and filling: The real fun begins! Students start applying their primary colours and filling in their letters or characters.
Adding shadows and highlights: Our artists show how to make art 'pop' by adding 3D effects, shadows, and bright highlights.
The final outline: We teach the 'power-line' technique—the final crisp outline that brings the whole piece together.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the work with a photo session and ensure all materials are packed away neatly.

Addis Ababa is a city where tradition meets a booming modern vibe. From the bustling markets of Merkato to the sleek streets of Kazanchis, the capital is increasingly becoming a canvas for creative expression.
