Is the paint safe for participants with sensitivities?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves. For our special needs workshops in Hawassa, we use low-odor, non-toxic water-based spray paints whenever requested to ensure a comfortable breathing environment. Our instructors are trained to prioritize the physical and emotional safety of every participant, making sure the experience remains stress-free and purely enjoyable for everyone involved.

Are your Hawassa workshop locations wheelchair accessible?

Yes, we believe art should be accessible to everyone. Our workshop locations in Hawassa are chosen for their accessibility, ensuring that participants using wheelchairs or those with limited mobility can move around freely. We also adapt our canvas setups, placing them at reachable heights so that every guest can comfortably spray and design their masterpiece without any physical barriers getting in the way of their creativity.

What is the maximum group size for a special needs workshop?

There is no fixed limit! We specialize in small, intimate groups for a personalized touch, but we can also organize larger events for schools or care centers in Hawassa. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we can scale the workshop to match your needs. Generally, we recommend a ratio of one artist per 10-12 participants to ensure everyone gets the attention and support they deserve.

Do participants need previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists are patient and skilled at breaking down graffiti techniques into simple, fun steps. Whether a participant has never held a spray can before or has had some experience with art, we guide them through the process at their own pace. The goal is self-expression and fun, not technical perfection from the start.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard special needs session typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus without causing fatigue. However, we are flexible! If you feel the group would benefit from a shorter, high-impact session or a longer, more relaxed pace with breaks, we can customize the timeline to fit the specific needs of your participants.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all spray cans, premium caps, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, masks), and the canvases or boards we will be painting on. For special needs programs, we also bring specialized tools or larger nozzles if they help with ease of use. You only need to bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change, especially with specialized care groups. While we encourage booking in advance to secure your preferred date, we have a flexible approach. We don't require upfront payments—you pay after the workshop is complete. If you need to reschedule, just let us know as soon as possible, and we will work with you to find a new date that fits your schedule.
