Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior art experience is needed to enjoy our school holiday workshops in Dire Dawa. Our professional artists are experts at teaching beginners from scratch. We start with basic safety and can control, then move on to simple shapes before letting you loose on your masterpiece. Most participants are shocked by how much they improve in just a single session. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself!

Is the spray paint safe for children and teens?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free creative environment for all students and parents.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy! Think old sneakers and casual wear. Since Dire Dawa can get quite warm during the day, breathable fabrics are your best friend while we work on our outdoor murals.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, practice different spraying techniques, and complete a final group mural or individual canvas. It’s the perfect duration to stay engaged and energized without getting tired. We can also adjust the timing for special private group bookings if needed.

Can I change the number of participants after booking?

Yes, we have a flexible booking policy! While we appreciate knowing your final numbers in advance, you can usually adjust the group size up to 48 hours before the workshop starts. At Graffitifun, we don't require upfront payments for these sessions—you can pay after the workshop is completed. This makes organizing a holiday activity in the 'City of Love' much less stressful for parents and organizers.

What is the minimum age for the workshop?

Our workshops are generally designed for children aged 8 and up, as well as teenagers and adults. Younger kids might find the spray cans a bit heavy or difficult to press, but we can often accommodate them with extra guidance if they are part of a family group. Graffiti is a fantastic multi-generational activity that brings everyone together through color and creativity!

Local culture

Dire Dawa has always been a city of unique character. With its distinct French colonial architecture in Kezira and the bustling, traditional vibes of Megala, it’s a city that breathes inspiration. The relaxed "Laga" lifestyle makes it the perfect backdrop for street art. We love incorporating the local flavor into our workshops—think vibrant colors inspired by the local markets and patterns that reflect the diverse heritage of the region. 🌍

Fun Fact: Dire Dawa was founded because of the Ethio-Djibouti Railway. That industrial, transit-hub energy is exactly what birthed modern graffiti culture in cities like New York, making Dire Dawa the spiritual home for street art in Ethiopia! 🚂🔥
