What is the minimum age for the Mbuji-Mayi workshops?

Our after-school sessions are perfect for young creatives aged 8 and up. We use water-based spray paints where possible for younger groups and provide all necessary safety gear. The workshops are designed to be inclusive, allowing children of various skill levels to participate. Our artists are expert at tailoring their coaching to ensure every student, from the shy beginner to the bold artist, feels confident making their mark!

Is graffiti art safe for children after school?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our professional artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations in Mbuji-Mayi to ensure a healthy environment for all participants. You can trust us to keep the environment fun and secure.

Do the students need any prior drawing experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold a can, pressure control, and simple lines. Most students are amazed at what they can create within just 90 minutes. Our goal is to build confidence through creativity, so no prior 'artistic' talent is required—just a willingness to try something new and have a great time!

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring inspiration sketches and caps. All you need to provide is a space and a group of excited students. We handle the setup and, most importantly, the cleanup, leaving the location exactly as we found it.

How much does an after-school workshop cost?

The cost varies based on the number of students and the frequency of the sessions. In Mbuji-Mayi, prices generally range from FC50,000 to FC120,000 per person. Larger school groups often benefit from significant discounts. For a precise figure tailored to your specific after-school programme, we recommend using our online Cost Calculator or requesting a custom quote for your school.

Can we book a single session or a full multi-week programme?

Absolutely! We understand that school schedules can be tight. Whether you want a one-off 'taster' session to celebrate the end of a term or a structured 6-week programme where students develop a large-scale mural, we can accommodate you. We work closely with Mbuji-Mayi educators to ensure the workshop fits perfectly into the existing extracurricular timetable without any hassle.

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

We are very flexible! If the weather looks bad, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with high-grade ventilation and floor protection. Alternatively, our backup artist system ensures that if your primary instructor is unavailable, a professional replacement is ready to go, so your after-school activity is almost never cancelled. We keep the creativity flowing no matter what!

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Mbuji-Mayi? It’s more than just painting; it’s about giving students a sense of ownership and pride in their environment. 🔥

Step by step

Intro & safety: We kick things off with a high-energy intro and a quick safety demo on how to use the gear properly. ✨
Concept sketching: Students grab paper and pencils to map out their tags and characters before touching the cans. ✍️
Can control basics: Our pros teach the 'nozzle-know-how'—learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fills.
Mastering the outline: Each student starts their main piece on their designated canvas or wall section.
The colour fill: This is where the magic happens! We jump into blending techniques and vibrant colour fades. 🎨
Adding the 'pop': We teach 3D effects, shadows, and highlights to make the artwork jump off the surface.
The final outline: Students 'crisp up' their work with a final bold outline for that professional street art look.
Photo session: We document the masterpieces so the kids have memories (and bragging rights) to take home. 📸
Tidy up: We pack up all the gear and leave the site spotless, ready for the next school day.

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi, the 'City of Diamonds', is a place of incredible energy and resilience. Just as the earth here holds hidden gems, we believe every student in the city has a hidden creative talent waiting to be polished! The local culture is a rhythmic mix of traditional Kasai heritage and modern urban life, making it the perfect backdrop for a street art revolution. 💎

While the city is famous for its mining, we're here to mine the imagination of the youth. From the bustling markets near Avenue Inga to the quieter school grounds, the spirit of Mbuji-Mayi is about building something great from the ground up. Fun Fact: Mbuji-Mayi is one of the fastest-growing cities in the DR Congo, and its youth population is the heartbeat of its future—what better way to celebrate that growth than with a splash of colour?

Pricing

Our pricing is as flexible as our art! We offer various packages to suit the budgets of local Mbuji-Mayi schools and parents' associations.

Standard range: FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person.

This typically includes all materials and professional instruction. Prices fluctuate depending on the number of participants, the duration of the programme, and the type of surfaces we're painting (canvases vs. permanent walls). 💰
