Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are water-based or low-odor whenever possible, and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are professional artists who are experienced in supervising children, ensuring that everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast creating their art.

What kind of space do we need at our school?

Ideally, we need an outdoor space like a school playground, courtyard, or a wall where we have permission to paint. If you don't have a suitable space on campus in Bahir Dar, don't worry! We can help arrange a local spot or bring mobile wooden canvases that we set up and take down, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a drawing session on paper, and the actual spray painting experience. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a single afternoon or split it across multiple sessions if you have several classes participating.

What will the students actually learn during the day?

The students will learn the fundamentals of graffiti culture, including how to handle a spray can, different nozzle (cap) techniques, and how to build a 'piece' from sketch to final outline. Beyond the art, they develop teamwork skills, boost their creative confidence, and learn the important distinction between professional street art and illegal tagging. It is a full educational package!

What should the students wear on the day of the workshop?

We recommend old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, kids can be very enthusiastic, and stray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. It is best to come prepared for a messy, creative, and fun outdoor activity.

Can the students create a permanent mural for the school?

Absolutely! One of the coolest outcomes is creating a permanent mural on a school wall that the children helped design and paint. If a permanent wall isn't available, the students can work on individual boards or a large communal canvas that can be hung in the school hallway or cafeteria as a lasting memory of their creativity.

What is the maximum number of students who can participate?

We are very flexible with group sizes. We can work with a single class of 20-30 students or organize a full-school rotation where different year groups take turns throughout the day. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure every child gets personal guidance and stays safe while they explore their artistic side.
