What makes the VIP experience different from a standard workshop?

Your Lubumbashi VIP workshop is a private, premium affair. Unlike standard sessions, you get a dedicated lead artist, high-end spray paints from top brands, and a more extensive selection of colours. We also provide upgraded protective gear and a larger canvas or dedicated wall space. It is designed for those who want to dive deep into the street art subculture with personal guidance and no distractions. Plus, the schedule is completely flexible to suit your itinerary.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for beginners?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our professional artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before any cans are shaken. We use low-pressure spray paint which is much easier to control, especially for beginners. We also ensure that our venue in Lubumbashi has excellent ventilation or is completely outdoors for your comfort and safety.

Do I need any prior art or drawing experience?

Absolutely! You don't need to be the next Banksy to join us. Our VIP workshops are designed specifically to take you from 'never held a can' to 'proud artist' in just a couple of hours. Your personal mentor will guide you through basic lines, filling techniques, and the secrets of 'cutting' edges. You will be amazed at what you can create with the right professional tips and a bit of confidence. It is all about the fun!

Where in Lubumbashi do the workshops take place?

In 'L'shi', we have several curated locations, ranging from private urban spaces to professional studio setups. However, if you have a specific private location in mind—like a backyard or a corporate terrace—we can bring the entire VIP setup to you! We just need a well-ventilated area and permission to paint. We handle all the floor protection and cleanup, so you can enjoy the creative process without worrying about any accidental overspray.

How long does the VIP graffiti session last?

Our standard VIP graffiti experience usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction to the history of the movement, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. Because this is a VIP session, we aren't strict with the clock; we focus on ensuring you are 100% happy with your artwork. If you have a specific time constraint, let us know and we can tailor the flow.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. While we provide full-body protective suits, gloves, and masks, it is always better to be safe than sorry when working with permanent paint. If you are planning a fancy dinner in Lubumbashi afterwards, maybe bring a change of clothes just in case! We provide everything else, including all paint, boards, and creative inspiration.

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking is simple and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us a message with your preferred date and group size. The best part? You don't need to pay anything upfront. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop is complete. If you need to reschedule, just let us know in advance—we are flexible!

Step by step

The royal welcome: Meet your personal graffiti mentor at our Lubumbashi location or your private venue for a brief intro to street art history.

Local culture

Lubumbashi, the beating heart of the Haut-Katanga province, is a city defined by its bold character and industrious spirit. While it's famous for its mining history, there’s a growing contemporary art scene bubbling beneath the surface. Our VIP workshops take inspiration from the "Lubumbashi style"—a mix of traditional Congolese patterns and the raw, underground energy of the streets. You might spot local murals near the University of Lubumbashi or around the city centre that showcase this unique fusion. ✨

Fun Fact: Lubumbashi was once named Élisabethville! Today, its creative energy is best seen during the Lubumbashi Biennale, an international arts festival. Our workshops bring that same spirit of high-level artistic expression to you year-round, giving you a chance to contribute to the city's evolving visual story.

Pricing

Our VIP experiences are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a premium service from start to finish. Pricing for our Lubumbashi sessions is transparent and includes all high-end materials.

Individual VIP Session: From FC 120,000 per person
Private Small Groups: From FC 50,000 per person (depending on group size)

Note: Final prices depend on the chosen location, group size, and specific customisations.
