Do the students need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting experience is needed. Our professional artists are there to guide the students from the very first line to the final masterpiece. We start with the basics of can control and safety, ensuring every participant feels confident. The goal of our after-school sessions in Dire Dawa is to explore creativity and have a blast while learning a new, modern art form.

Is the workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. We use specialized spray paint brands that are industry standard. Each session begins with a mandatory safety briefing where we teach proper handling of equipment and respect for the environment. Our instructors are experienced pros who keep a close eye on the group at all times.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard after-school graffiti workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn techniques and complete a final piece. We can adjust the duration based on your school's specific schedule or extracurricular block timings. Whether it is a quick intro or a deep dive, we make every minute count!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We believe in a hands-on approach! Graffitifun provides everything required for the session. This includes a wide variety of colorful spray paint cans, protective masks, gloves, designer caps (nozzles), and the surfaces we paint on—whether that is a temporary wall, large canvases, or even a designated school wall. Students just need to bring their enthusiasm and wear comfortable shoes that they don't mind getting a little dusty.

Where do the workshops take place in Dire Dawa?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds if there is a suitable outdoor space with good ventilation. Alternatively, we can arrange for a session at an inspiring local spot in Dire Dawa. If you're looking for a indoor solution, we can use large plastic sheets to protect the area and work on individual canvases. We always find a way to make it work!

Can the students choose what they want to paint?

Yes, we love making things personal! While we teach the fundamentals of street art, students are encouraged to develop their own styles. They can create their own 'tags,' design their own characters, or work together on a large collaborative mural that represents their school or club. Our artists act as mentors, helping students bring their unique visions to life on the canvas.

How do we book and when do we pay?

Booking is easy and transparent. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply reach out to us with your preferred dates and group size. We will check the availability of our local artists in Dire Dawa and confirm the booking. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we provide for your students.
