How long does a typical after-school session last?

Most of our after-school graffiti workshops in Tamale run for approximately 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, an introduction to sketching, and plenty of spray time on the walls. We can adjust the duration to fit into your school's specific extracurricular timetable if needed, ensuring every student gets to finish their piece.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains a safe, creative place for all children to express themselves.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. We start with the basics of 'tagging' and 'throwing up' shapes before moving on to more complex pieces. Our goal is to build confidence, and our instructors are experts at helping even the shyest students find their creative voice.

Can you host the workshop at our school?

Whatever works best for your group! We can host the workshop at your school premises (on a temporary wall or boards) or at a designated creative space in Tamale. We are fully mobile and bring all the necessary equipment to you, including the 'canvas' surfaces if your school doesn't have a suitable wall available.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

No, we believe in a stress-free booking experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront. We value the trust of the Tamale community, so you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and the kids are buzzing with excitement from their new creations. Simply request a quote to get the process started!

What is the recommended age for participants?

Our after-school sessions are generally suitable for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans and can follow the safety instructions effectively. We can tailor the complexity of the art based on the specific age group, ensuring it remains engaging for both primary and secondary students.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything needed for a world-class street art experience. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We also provide sketching materials so the kids can plan their designs before they start spraying. You just need to provide the enthusiastic students!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme? It’s more than just painting; it’s a way to engage students who might not thrive in traditional art classes. Here is why Tamale schools love working with us:

🔥 Confidence boost: Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your massive artwork on a wall for the first time.
🎨 Real-world skills: We teach techniques used by professional artists globally, from colour theory to spatial planning.
🤝 Teamwork: Collaborative murals require students to communicate and work together towards a single goal.
🧠 Focus and discipline: Learning can control and safety protocols requires concentration and respect for the medium.
🏆 Memorable experiences: These sessions are the ones students talk about for the rest of the school year!

Looking for something different elsewhere? We also run sessions in Accra and Kumasi!

Step by step

Design brainstorm: We kick things off with a creative huddle, brainstorming themes that represent the students' identity or the spirit of Tamale.
Sketching basics: Every great mural starts with a plan. Kids grab paper and pencils to sketch out their tags and characters.
Safety first: Our pros demonstrate how to wear the protective gear and use the spray cans safely and effectively.
Can control: Students learn the 'fills' and 'fades' – the essential techniques for getting paint smoothly onto the surface.
The outline: Now the real fun begins! Everyone moves to the wall to start outlining their master designs in paint.
Adding colour: It's time to get vibrant. Students fill in their shapes using a kaleidoscope of colours to make their art pop.
Final touches: We teach the 'power line' technique to sharpen the edges and make the artwork look professional.
The big reveal: We stand back and admire the collective mural. It's a great moment for group photos and high-fives!
Clean up: We pack up all the gear and leave the space tidy, leaving only the incredible new art behind.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, but we’re flexible to fit your schedule. ⏰
Group sizes: We cater to groups from 10 students up to 50+ with multiple instructors.
Everything included: Masks, gloves, overalls, spray cans, and canvas/boards are all provided. 🛡️
Backup artists: We have a deep bench of professional artists to ensure your session never gets cancelled.
Safety focus: All sessions are supervised by pros with a strict focus on safe equipment handling.

Local culture

Tamale is a city known for its incredible energy and rich cultural heritage, and we’re here to add a modern, urban twist to that tradition. While the city is famous for its beautiful mosques and traditional drumming, there is a growing appetite for contemporary street art that reflects the voices of the youth. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, encouraging students to blend traditional Ghanaian patterns with modern graffiti styles. We often see students incorporating the vibrant colours seen in the local markets into their mural designs, creating something that is uniquely 'Tamale'.

Fun Fact: Did you know Tamale is often called the 'bicycle capital' of West Africa? Many of our workshop designs feature cool, stylized bikes as students pay homage to their favourite way to get around the city! 🚲
