Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teens?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously at our Bahir Dar sessions. Every child is provided with high-quality gloves, protective masks, and coveralls to keep their clothes clean. We use water-based spray paint whenever possible and always work in well-ventilated outdoor environments. Our instructors are professional artists who have extensive experience working with youth, ensuring a supervised, fun, and completely safe creative atmosphere for everyone involved.

What is the age limit for the summer camp workshop?

Our summer camp activities are designed for youth generally between the ages of 8 and 18. We group participants by age and skill level so that the challenges are appropriate. For younger kids, we focus more on stencil art and basic shapes, while older teens can dive into complex lettering, shading techniques, and character design. This ensures everyone feels confident and inspired throughout the day.

How long does a typical creative session last?

The workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you are integrating this into a larger summer camp programme in Bahir Dar, we can adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule. We are flexible and want to make sure the flow works for your group.

What do we need to bring to the workshop?

Participants should wear comfortable clothes and shoes they don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—even with our protective gear, kids find a way to get messy! Other than that, just bring some water and plenty of energy. We provide all the professional spray cans, caps, masks, gloves, and the canvases or practice walls. We handle all the prep and cleanup so you don't have to.

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

Don't worry about the weather! While we love the sunshine of the Amhara region, we always have a backup plan. If it rains, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space using specialized low-odour markers and water-based techniques that are safe for indoor use. We also have a pool of backup artists, so we almost never have to cancel a scheduled event.

Do the kids get to keep their artwork?

Yes, every participant gets to take a piece of their art home! Usually, we work on individual canvases or boards that serve as a fantastic souvenir of their summer in Bahir Dar. For larger groups, we sometimes create a massive collaborative mural that can be displayed at your school or community centre, but we always try to ensure everyone has a personal creation to show their family.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in a stress-free booking process. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Once the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience, we will settle the payment via bank transfer or the agreed-upon method. This 'pay after' policy is our way of guaranteeing that we provide the best possible service to the youth of Bahir Dar.

The experience

Choosing our graffiti workshop for your summer activities means choosing an experience that sticks with kids for life. It is not your average classroom art project; it is an immersive dive into a global culture that encourages bold thinking.

Professional Mentorship: Learn directly from active street artists who know the real techniques.
Confidence Booster: Seeing a large-scale artwork come to life gives youth a massive sense of achievement.
Safe & Legal: we provide a controlled environment where kids can explore "rebellious" art responsibly.
No Stress Booking: With no upfront payment and backup artists ready, your event is guaranteed to happen.
Team Building: Collaborative murals teach kids how to communicate and work together toward a visual goal.
Great for All Levels: Whether they are naturally artistic or have never held a spray can, everyone can succeed.

Step by step

Intro and safety brief: We start with a warm welcome and go over how to use the equipment safely while protecting our environment.
Sketching your ideas: Every great mural starts with a plan. Kids learn to sketch their tags and designs on paper first.
Cap and spray control: Our artists demonstrate different 'caps' (nozzles) and how to control the pressure for thin or thick lines.
Outline techniques: Participants move to the wall or canvas to start 'blocking in' their main shapes and lettering.
Filling with colour: This is where the magic happens! We help the kids choose vibrant palettes to bring their designs to life.
Adding highlights and 3D: We teach professional tricks like adding shadows and 'shines' to make the art pop off the surface.
The final outline: A crisp final outline is added to clean up the edges and give the artwork a professional look.
Photo session and wrap-up: We take group photos with the finished masterpieces before packing up the gear.

Local culture

Bahir Dar is known for its wide, palm-lined avenues and the stunning Blue Nile, and we bring that same sense of flow and beauty to our street art workshops. While the city is famous for its ancient monasteries and natural beauty, there is a growing modern energy among the youth here. We tap into that local 'Tana' spirit, encouraging participants to incorporate local symbols and the vibrant colours of Ethiopia into their graffiti pieces. Whether we are setting up near the bustling city centre or a quieter spot by the water, the relaxed and friendly vibe of Bahir Dar makes it the perfect backdrop for a creative summer camp. It is about celebrating the new face of Ethiopian art right here in the heart of the Amhara region.

Pricing

We offer competitive and transparent pricing to ensure your summer camp stays on budget. Our rates typically range from Br1500 to Br3500 per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the amount of materials required. The best part? You don't have to pay a Cent until the workshop is over! We believe in the quality of our work and want you to be completely satisfied first.
