Is the graffiti workshop in Mekelle safe for beginners?

Yes, safety is our top priority! We provide professional-grade protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our instructors give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. The paints we use are high-quality and we always ensure the workshop area in Mekelle has plenty of ventilation. You can focus entirely on having fun and being creative while we handle the technical safety details.

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our expert artists specialize in teaching beginners from scratch. We start with basic lines and circles then move on to more complex techniques like shading and outlining. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. Whether you are an art lover or someone who can't draw a straight line, you will leave with a smile.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective gear like overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Avoid your favorite designer outfits or brand-new sneakers. Since Mekelle can be sunny, bringing some water and sunscreen if we are working outdoors is also a great idea. We provide everything else, from the paint to the canvases.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard cultural event workshops in Mekelle usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a short history lesson on street art, a practice session to get used to the spray cans, and then the main event where you create your final artwork. If you have a specific schedule or are combining this with a larger school or company event, we can adjust the timing to fit your needs perfectly.

How much does a graffiti workshop cost in Mekelle?

The cost for our workshops in Mekelle typically ranges from Br1500 to Br3500 per person. This price covers everything: the artist's time, all spray paint, protective gear, and the surface you paint on. The final price depends on the number of participants, the specific location, and whether you want a custom canvas to take home. Because every event is unique, we recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate pricing for your group.

Where exactly in Mekelle do the workshops take place?

Graffitifun is very flexible! We can host workshops at various locations around Mekelle, whether it is at your school, a community center, or an outdoor festival space.

We bring all the necessary equipment to the site, making it easy for you to host an unforgettable cultural art experience anywhere in the city.
