Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Safety is our absolute #1 priority! We use high-quality, low-odor spray paints and provide all children with protective gear, including gloves and masks. Our Mekelle instructors are professional artists experienced in working with primary school kids, ensuring a controlled environment where every child is supervised while they explore their creativity safely. We make sure the 'fun' stays safe from start to finish.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our primary school workshops are designed for beginners. We start with the very basics of handling a spray can and drawing simple lines. Our artists guide the students through every step, ensuring that by the end of the session, even the youngest students in Mekelle feel like professional street artists. It’s all about building confidence and having a blast with color!

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or old clothes that parents don't mind getting a little messy. While we provide protective aprons and gloves, graffiti is a hands-on, splattery art form! It’s best to be prepared so the kids can focus entirely on their masterpiece without worrying about their school uniforms or favorite outfits.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Our standard workshops in Mekelle typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the introductory safety briefing, the technique practice session, and the final creation of the large group mural. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep primary school students engaged and excited without them getting tired or losing focus.

Can you hold the workshop at our school in Mekelle?

Absolutely! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Mekelle, provided there is a well-ventilated outdoor space or a large open hall with high ceilings. We bring all the necessary protective floor coverings and boards, so your school property stays clean while the students get creative. We are fully mobile and flexible to your needs.

What materials are included in the package?

We provide everything needed for a successful street art day! This includes premium spray paint cans in a rainbow of colors, protective masks, gloves, aprons, and the surfaces to paint on (usually large wooden boards or canvases). You just need to provide the space and the enthusiastic students—we take care of all the logistics and cleanup!

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We suggest a minimum group size of 10 students to keep the energy high, but we can accommodate very large groups of over 100 children by bringing in additional backup artists. This ensures every child gets personal attention. For very large schools in Mekelle, we often split the day into several rotating sessions so everyone gets a turn to shine.
