How long does a typical after-school workshop last?

Our after-school graffiti workshops in Kolwezi usually run for about 2 hours. This gives the children enough time to learn the basic safety rules, practice their spray painting techniques on plastic foil, and finally create their own masterpiece on a canvas or board. We find this length keeps energy levels high and creativity flowing without the younger ones getting too tired after a long day of school lessons.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our primary concern! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for kids to control. Our professional artists supervise every single spray, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and that everyone follows the safety guidelines while having an absolute blast expressing themselves creatively.

What is the minimum age for participation?

Our Kolwezi workshops are generally designed for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they usually have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles and the focus to follow safety instructions. If you have a group of slightly younger children, just let us know! We can often adapt the program or use alternative water-based markers and stencils to make sure everyone can join the fun.

Can you host the workshop at our specific school location?

Absolutely! We are fully mobile. While we have preferred spots in Kolwezi, we can bring the entire 'graffiti-studio-in-a-box' to your school grounds, community centre, or even a local park. We use large mobile walls or stretch plastic film between pillars to create a temporary canvas, meaning we leave zero mess behind once the workshop is finished. It’s the perfect hassle-free after-school activity!

Do the kids need any prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are built for beginners. Our expert artists start with the very basics, like how to hold a can and how to move your arm to create different lines. We guide the students through every step, from sketching their first tag to adding professional 3D effects. Most kids are shocked by how much they can achieve in just one session!

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or old trainers. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and paint has a sneaky way of finding its way onto shoes! It’s best to wear items that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny splash of colour on, just in case they get extra enthusiastic with their spray cans.

How does the payment process work for schools?

We understand that school schedules and budgets take time to finalise. That’s why we don’t require any upfront payment to secure your date. You can book your Kolwezi after-school session now to ensure our artists are available, and you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We believe in our service and want you to be 100% satisfied first!

Step by step

The safety briefing: We start by teaching the kids how to use the gear correctly, including masks and gloves, to keep the fun safe and clean.
Learning the basics: Our pros demonstrate "can control"—how distance and pressure change the lines on the wall.
Tagging practice: Students start by practicing their own "tag" or nickname on temporary surfaces to find their unique style.
Concept sketching: Every child sketches their design on paper, planning out the colours and shapes they want to use.
Outline and fill: The exciting part! Kids move to the main surface to outline their design and fill it with vibrant, bold colours.
The "High-Light" effect: We teach them how to add shines and shadows to make their artwork pop and look 3D.
Final outlines: A crisp black or white outline is added to finish the piece, giving it that professional street art look.
Masterpiece reveal: We take group photos of the incredible new artwork before everyone packs up their custom creations to take home.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2.5 hours—perfect for an afternoon activity. ⏱️
Group Sizes: We cater to small groups of 10 or large school cohorts of 50+. We bring enough artists to keep it personal.
What's Included: Spray cans, protective overalls, gloves, masks, and canvases/boards for the students to keep. 🎒
Location: We come to you! We set up at schools, youth clubs, or community centres across Kakasila and beyond.
Weather: For outdoor sessions, we always have a backup plan or can set up under cover if the rain rolls in. 🌦️
Safety: Our artists are highly trained in group management and use professional-grade safety equipment at all times.

Local culture

Kolwezi is a city defined by its incredible energy and its status as a global mining hub. But beyond the copper and cobalt, there is a rising tide of urban culture and creativity! Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the bustling markets and the industrial landscapes that make Lualaba Province unique. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kolwezi is one of the fastest-growing cities in the DR Congo? As the city expands, so does its art scene, making it the perfect place for the next generation of muralists to start their journey!

From the streets of the Manika commune to the schools near the city centre, we bring the vibe of a modern street art gallery to your doorstep. We love seeing how local kids incorporate the bright colours of Congolese textiles and the strength of their city into their graffiti designs.
