What materials are included in the workshop?

For our Street art festival workshops in Lubumbashi, we provide high-quality spray cans, safety masks, gloves, and protective suits. You don't need to bring anything but your creativity! We also provide various surfaces to paint on, ranging from large-scale festival walls to individual canvases you can take home. Everything is included in the price, so there are no hidden costs for your festival-goers once they arrive.

Do I need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who have never held a spray can to experienced artists. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, starting with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to more complex techniques like shading and outlines. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself, regardless of your previous art experience or skill level.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respirators/masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas at the festival site. Our instructors are trained to monitor the group and ensure everyone follows the safety protocols, especially when multiple people are spraying simultaneously near the festival crowds in Lubumbashi.

What happens if it rains during the event?

In 'L’shi', things can get hot or rainy! For festivals, we usually have covered areas or marquees ready. If the weather is too extreme for outdoor spraying, we can often move the workshop to a sheltered spot or provide indoor-suitable materials like paint markers on canvas. We always have a backup plan with our local artists to ensure the festival vibe keeps going no matter what.

Can you accommodate large festival crowds?

We are extremely flexible! Our festival workshops can host small groups or hundreds of people throughout the day in a 'walk-in' style. For a structured 1.5-hour session, we recommend groups of 10-20 people per instructor to ensure everyone gets personal attention. If you are planning a massive event in Lubumbashi, we can scale up with multiple artists to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Is there an age limit for workshop participants?

The minimum age is typically 6-8 years old, as children need enough hand strength to press the spray nozzle and the ability to wear a safety mask properly. For younger kids at festivals, we often set up 'doodle zones' with markers or water-based paints so they can still feel part of the creative street art energy without the heavy-duty gear. Everyone gets a chance to be creative!

How do I book and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy! Simply use our online cost calculator or contact us directly. We don't require upfront payments – you pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. Because we have a large team of backup artists, you don't have to worry about last-minute cancellations. We'll find the perfect lead artist to match the specific vibe of your Lubumbashi street art event.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Lubumbashi, or 'L’shi' to the locals, is a city with a unique aesthetic blend of industrial heritage and vibrant Congolese culture. The street art scene here is growing, reflecting the resilience and creativity of the Copperbelt’s youth. At our workshops, we tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the bright colours of the local markets and the bold patterns found in Congolese textiles. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Lubumbashi is the second largest city in the DR Congo and serves as a major hub for art and music? The city's 'Étoile du Katanga' spirit often finds its way onto the walls in the form of stars and bold, energetic shapes! 🇨🇩

Our workshops foster that same sense of community you find in the local quartiers, encouraging collaboration and shared storytelling on a grand scale.
