How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

The core workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the basics of spray painting, practice your lines, and work together on a final masterpiece. We can adjust the timing if you have a specific schedule for your cultural event in Likasi, ensuring it fits perfectly between other activities without feeling rushed.

Do I need to be good at drawing to join?

No prior artistic skill is needed! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching absolute beginners. We start with simple techniques—like how to hold the can and control the pressure—before moving on to more complex shapes. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the professional-looking mural you've helped create. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself.

Is the spray paint safe and do you provide gear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also use premium spray paint that meets safety standards. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for everyone from kids to adults during the event.

Where in Likasi do the workshops take place?

We are extremely flexible. We can host the workshop at your chosen venue in Likasi—whether that's a community centre, a school yard, or a private garden—provided there is enough ventilation. Alternatively, we can help source a local spot that is suitable for legal street art. We bring all the materials to you, including mobile boards if there isn't a wall available.

Can we take our artwork home after the event?

Absolutely! While many people love the experience of painting on a large wall, we also offer workshops where participants paint on individual canvases or even trucker caps. This is a fantastic option for cultural events where people want to take a piece of their artwork home with them. Just let us know your preference when you book!

Do I need to pay in advance for the workshop?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay later' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront bank transfers or deposits. You can experience the full workshop, see the smiles on everyone's faces, and then settle the payment once the session is complete. We believe in our service so much that we guarantee 100% satisfaction!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Although we provide full-body overalls and shoe covers, spray paint can be unpredictable! It’s best to leave your Sunday best at home and opt for something practical so you can focus entirely on your creativity and the spray-painting process.

Local culture

Likasi, often called the 'City of Lights', is a place of incredible energy and industrial heritage. While it’s famously the heart of the mining region, there’s a growing appetite for modern urban culture. Bringing a graffiti event here isn't just about art; it's about adding a splash of contemporary colour to the city's sturdy, hardworking character. We love seeing how the local spirit translates into spray paint, blending traditional Congolese patterns with modern street styles.

Fun Fact: Did you know Likasi was originally founded as a mining centre in 1917? Today, we’re mining for talent and creativity instead of copper! 🎨
