Do students need prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Jijiga after-school workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our professional instructors break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex 'pieces' and characters. The goal is to have fun and explore creativity, not to be a master artist on day one. We celebrate every student's unique style! 🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, to ensure students aren't inhaling fumes or getting paint on their skin. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for younger hands to control. All sessions are supervised by experienced professionals who reinforce safety rules throughout the workshop, ensuring a secure and creative environment for all participants. 🛡️

What should students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'messy' clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective aprons, graffiti art can sometimes be a bit unpredictable, and a stray drop of paint might find its way onto your sleeves or shoes. Comfortable sneakers are also a must since students will be standing and moving around their canvases throughout the session. Think of it as your official artist uniform! 👟

How long does a session usually last?

A typical after-school session in Jijiga lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, a sketching phase, and plenty of time for actual painting. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the students getting tired. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy creative burst! ⏱️

What materials are included in the price?

Our standard after-school package includes everything needed for a complete experience: professional-grade spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, protective masks, gloves, aprons, and large canvases or boards to paint on. We also provide caps (nozzles) for different spray effects. You don't need to bring a single thing—just your imagination and plenty of energy! We handle the setup and the cleanup. ✨

Do you teach students about the legality of graffiti?

While we love the spirit of street art, we teach 'legal' graffiti. Our workshops take place on designated canvases, mobile walls, or authorized locations. We strongly emphasize the difference between creative expression and illegal vandalism. Our artists teach the history and culture of the movement while instilling respect for public and private property, showing students how to find legitimate outlets for their talent. 🏢

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Jijiga winters and rainy seasons can be unpredictable! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and the weather doesn't cooperate, we usually have indoor alternatives or can use covered areas. We also have a 'backup artist' system to ensure your event goes ahead even if there's a minor scheduling hiccup. If weather makes it impossible, we will work with you to reschedule for the next sunny afternoon. 🌧️

How do we book a session for our school or group?

Booking is super easy! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get a quick estimate, or simply send us a request through our contact form. Because we don't require upfront payments, you can secure your date in Jijiga without any stress. We will discuss your specific needs, group size, and location to give you a customized quote that fits your after-school programme perfectly. 📅

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Jijiga? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s about building confidence and community! ✨

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant artwork come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement. 💪
Team building: Students work together on large-scale pieces, learning the value of collaboration. 🤝
Authentic self-expression: Graffiti is the ultimate 'voice' for young people to express their identity. 🎤
Professional guidance: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe this culture every day. 🏆
Zero stress booking: With our backup artist system and no upfront payments, your event is in safe hands. 🔥

Step by step

Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a cool intro to street art history and a quick run-through of how to stay safe while using spray cans.
Concept sketching: Students grab a pencil and paper to brainstorm their ideas, lettering styles, and the characters they want to bring to life.
Spray can basics: Our pros teach the 'can control'—how to hold the bottle, use different nozzles, and manage pressure for thin or thick lines.
Outline phase: Time to hit the canvas! Students transfer their sketches to the wall or board using light colours to create the basic framework.
Filling in: This is where the magic happens. We add vibrant colours, gradients, and 'fills' to make the artwork pop and stand out.
Shadows & highlights: We teach the tricks of the trade, adding 3D effects, shadows, and highlights to give the graffiti depth.
The final outline: Using a bold colour (usually black or white), students re-do their outlines to make the entire piece sharp and professional.
Tagging & signatures: Every artist needs a signature! Students create their own unique 'tag' to sign off on their masterpiece.
Photo session: We wrap up by taking high-quality group photos of the students with their completed works of art!
