Is the graffiti workshop safe for younger students?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, we use specialized low-odor spray cans and prioritize safety above all else. We provide every student with protective gear, including gloves and masks. Our professional artists are trained to supervise school groups in Hawassa, ensuring a controlled environment where students can focus on being creative while staying completely safe and clean throughout the process.

Where in Hawassa do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the graffiti workshop right on your school grounds in Hawassa if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall. If that is not an option, we can arrange a professional street art location nearby. We bring all the necessary boards, plastic coverings, and materials to ensure your school property remains spotless.

How long does a typical educational session last?

A standard school workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for a deep dive into street art history, practicing basic spraying techniques, and completing a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots to make it work for you.

What do we need to provide as a school?

Nothing at all! Graffitifun provides everything your students need to become street artists for a day. This includes high-quality spray paint, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the canvases or boards they will be painting on. Just make sure the students wear old clothes and comfortable shoes, as things might still get a little messy during the creative process!

What is the minimum age for participants?

We believe street art is for everyone! Our workshops are ideally suited for students aged 8 and up. For younger children, we simplify the techniques, while for older teenagers in Hawassa secondary schools, we dive deeper into complex mural design and social messaging through art. We always tailor the level of instruction to the specific age group.

Do students need to have previous drawing skills?

One of the best things about our workshops is that no prior artistic skill is required. Our professional artists guide students through every step, from holding the can to layering colors. It is amazing to see students who think they aren't 'artistic' walk away with a stunning piece of work. It is all about confidence and having fun!

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Yes, we love it when schools have a specific theme! Whether it is environmental awareness, school spirit, or an Ethiopian cultural theme, our artists can help the students design a mural that reflects your chosen topic. It is a fantastic way to combine art with other subjects like social studies, history, or science in a memorable way.
