What is the minimum and maximum group size for a workshop?

To make sure everyone gets enough spray time and personal attention from our artists, we usually suggest a minimum of 10 participants. However, if you have a smaller group in Bahir Dar looking for a premium experience, we can definitely accommodate you. The maximum size is almost limitless as we can bring in multiple artists and set up several stations to keep the energy high and the paint flowing.

Is the workshop safe for children during school holidays?

Safety is our top priority while having fun. We provide all participants with high-quality protective masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray cans are professional grade but easy to use. The workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces. Our artists are also trained in first aid and group management to ensure a smooth, accident-free creative session for everyone.

Do we need any prior drawing or painting experience?

You don't need to be an artist to join! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics of how to hold a spray can and move into more advanced techniques like fading and outlining. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you can create. It is all about discovering your hidden talents and having a great time with friends.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard school holiday workshop in Bahir Dar usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This includes the introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of the final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience, we can extend the session to half a day. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high without people getting tired.

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Rain won't stop the creativity! If the weather in Bahir Dar turns wet, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or an indoor location using water-based, low-odor spray paint. Alternatively, if you prefer an outdoor experience, we have a backup date policy. Thanks to our large team of backup artists, we are very flexible with rescheduling to ensure your holiday activity goes ahead.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

Comfort is key. We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Even though we provide protective overalls, spray paint dust can sometimes travel. Choose something breathable, especially during the warmer months here in Ethiopia. Once you are geared up in our suits, you will look like a professional street artist ready to tackle any wall!

Can you host the workshop at our specific school or location?

While our main workspace is set up for specific creative zones, we can often come to your location if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall. We bring all the necessary boards, plastic sheeting to protect the ground, and cleaning supplies. Whether it is at a community center, a school yard, or a private garden near Lake Tana, we bring the street art kit to you.
