Do I need to be an artist to join the retreat?

Absolutely not! Our creative retreat workshops in Dessie are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists lead you through the basics of spray can control, lettering, and blending. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create a masterpiece when you are in a supportive, relaxed environment. It is all about the process and having a blast with your team or friends!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of colors, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable shoes. We handle the setup and the cleanup so you can focus on the art!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-odor spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including high-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a safety briefing before any paint is sprayed. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows proper handling procedures to ensure a fun, accident-free creative session for all participants.

What happens if it rains on the day of the retreat?

Dessie’s weather is usually beautiful, but if it rains, we have you covered! We can host the retreat workshops in covered outdoor areas or move the session to a suitable indoor venue using water-based, low-odor sprays that are safe for indoor use. We never let a little rain dampen our creative spirit, and we always have a backup artist available to ensure your event goes ahead as planned.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our retreat workshops are quite flexible. A standard session usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual piece. If you have a specific schedule in mind, we can certainly customize the duration to fit your retreat’s itinerary perfectly.

Do I need to pay upfront to book?

No, you don't! We believe in a stress-free booking process. You can organize your creative retreat in Dessie today and only worry about the payment after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. It is part of our commitment to providing a professional, trustworthy, and fun service for all our clients in Ethiopia.

Local culture

Dessie, known as the "City of the Highlands," is a place where tradition meets a growing modern energy. While it’s famous for its stunning mountain views and the nearby Lake Hayq, there is a rising appreciation for modern expression among the local youth. Bringing a creative retreat workshop to Dessie adds a splash of urban color to this historic trade hub. We love the energy of the Wollo culture and aim to blend that local spirit with the global language of graffiti art. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Did you know Dessie was founded in the late 19th century and its name translates to "My Joy" in Amharic? We bring that exact "Joy" to every workshop we host! 🌟
