Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Our graffiti workshops are designed with safety as the primary focus. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and we only use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for younger artists to handle. Our experienced instructors supervise every moment of the session to ensure that the students are following safety protocols while still having an incredible time exploring their inner creativity in Bahir Dar.

Does this program encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! While we teach the techniques used by street artists, we emphasize the importance of legal art and respect for public property. We explain the difference between vandalism and commissioned street art, teaching students to use their skills in designated areas or on canvas. It is a fantastic way to channel energy into a productive, artistic hobby that adds value to the community.

What should the students wear to the after-school session?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting a little paint on. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable, especially with beginners! Since Bahir Dar can be warm, breathable fabrics are best. We provide all the professional art supplies, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm and creative spirit.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

No prior drawing or painting skills are needed at all. Our graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether a student is already a talented painter or has never held a spray can before, they will leave the workshop with a piece of art they are proud of and a new set of creative skills.

How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our standard after-school workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, practice sessions on plastic film or boards, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the duration to fit into specific school schedules or extra-curricular slots.

How do we book a session and when do we pay?

Booking is simple and risk-free with Graffitifun. You can contact us via our website to check availability for your preferred date in Bahir Dar. We do not require any upfront payment; you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we provide for your students before any transaction occurs.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school program in Bahir Dar? It is more than just painting; it is a way to engage students who might not enjoy traditional sports or academic clubs. Here is why it works:

Encourages self-expression: Graffiti allows students to find their own voice through bold visuals and unique styles.
Team building: Working on large-scale murals requires communication and collaboration between peers.
Focus and patience: Mastering the spray can requires precision, helping students develop fine motor skills and concentration.
Stress relief: The physical act of spray painting is a great way for students to unwind after a long day of classes.
Legal and safe: We teach the ethics of street art, ensuring students know how to practice their craft responsibly.
Highly inclusive: You do not need to be a "natural artist" to create something that looks amazing with graffiti techniques.

Step by step

Introduction to street art: We start with a brief history of graffiti culture and how it evolved into a global art form.
Safety and gear: Students get fitted with protective masks and gloves while learning how to handle spray cans responsibly.
Basic techniques: Our artists demonstrate how to create lines, dots, and fills using different nozzle types.
Sketching the concept: Students brainstorm their ideas on paper before moving to the 'wall' or canvas.
Color theory: We teach how to select contrasting colors that make graffiti letters pop against the background.
The first layer: Participants start applying their base colors under the watchful eye of our professionals.
Outlining and detailing: This is where the magic happens—adding the sharp edges and highlights that define the style.
Final touches: Students add their unique 'tag' or signature to finish their work of art.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the creative achievements with a group shot before packing up the mobile studio.
