Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

No artistic talent is required! Our Dessie workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those who have held a spray can before. Our professional artists lead you through the process step-by-step, starting with basic lines and moving to complex fills. We focus on the fun and cultural expression, ensuring everyone walks away with a piece they are proud of. It is all about the experience and trying something new!

What materials are included in the cultural event?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece in Dessie. This includes premium spray paint in a wide variety of colours, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective gloves, masks, and coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. You just need to show up with your energy and perhaps some old shoes you do not mind getting a bit of dust on!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

For our cultural events in Dessie, we recommend a duration of 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the history lesson, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your large-scale graffiti piece. We can adjust the timing to fit your specific event schedule if you are combining the workshop with other local festivities or celebrations.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all participants with professional-grade FFP2 respiratory masks and gloves. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces in Dessie. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely and ensure that everyone follows the correct handling procedures for the equipment at all times.

Can you host workshops for schools or youth groups in Dessie?

Absolutely! We love bringing graffiti to schools, youth centres, and community festivals across the Amhara Region. Our programs can be tailored to be educational, focusing on the history of street art and its role in modern culture. It is a fantastic way for students to express themselves and learn about a contemporary global art movement in an interactive, hands-on environment. Check out our 'Graffiti for Schools' section for more details.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and flexible with us. You can request a quote through our website, and we will get back to you with a custom plan for your Dessie event. The best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. Ready to start? Request your quote today!

What happens if it rains or an artist is sick?

While we cannot always control the weather in the Highlands, we always have a backup plan. If your outdoor venue in Dessie is affected by rain, we can often move to a covered location or reschedule to a better time. We also have a pool of backup artists available, so your event will never be cancelled due to an instructor being unavailable. We guarantee your creative session will happen!

Local culture

Dessie is a city that sits at the crossroads of history and nature. Often called the "Gateway to the North," it has a unique energy that blends traditional Ethiopian hospitality with a growing modern buzz. Bringing a graffiti cultural event to Dessie allows us to tap into this local spirit, using the city's dramatic mountain backdrops as inspiration for our urban art pieces. We love the way the morning mist in Dessie clears to reveal a city full of life—much like a blank wall waiting for its first layer of paint!

Fun Fact: Did you know Dessie was founded in 1882? While the city is over a century old, its youth culture is booming, making it the perfect place for modern street art to flourish alongside traditional Amhara heritage. 🇪🇹
