Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Lubumbashi have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex 'wildstyle' techniques. You’ll be amazed at the high-quality piece of art you can create in just a couple of hours with our guidance.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of vibrant colours, high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also supply the canvases or designated wall space. The only thing you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, and we provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including high-quality respiratory masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our experienced instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure a fun, accident-free environment for everyone involved.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard cultural workshop in Lubumbashi typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are planning a larger festival or a corporate brand activation, we can easily adapt the timing to fit your specific event schedule.

Can you host the workshop at my own location?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various creative hubs across Lubumbashi, or we can bring the entire mobile studio to your location. Whether it's a school playground, a company courtyard, or a private garden, as long as there is enough space and ventilation, we can make it work. We handle all the setup and clean-up, leaving the space exactly as we found it.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't have to stop the creativity! If you've booked an outdoor session and the weather turns, we usually try to move to a covered area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. Because we have a team of backup artists and flexible equipment, we can often reschedule or relocate at short notice to ensure your event goes ahead without a hitch. We always have a 'Plan B' ready.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. We don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This 'pay-later' policy is part of our commitment to ensuring every guest in Lubumbashi has an incredible time without any financial pressure.
