Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

You don't need any artistic background to enjoy our graffiti workshop in Bahir Dar! Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering shading techniques. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before, and they are always amazed by the high-quality masterpiece they create by the end of the session. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

We prioritize your safety above all else. Graffitifun provides high-quality protective gear, including professional masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use premium spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before we start, ensuring a worry-free creative environment for you and your travel companions.

How long does the experience take?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final artwork. We find this is the perfect duration to stay energized and focused without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to explore the beautiful Lake Tana later in the day.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. Since Bahir Dar can be quite sunny, bringing a hat and sunglasses is also a great idea. We provide everything else, including all the paint, caps, and canvases you will need for your project.

Can children and families participate together?

Absolutely! We love hosting families. Graffiti is a fantastic way for kids and teenagers to express their creativity in a bold, new way. We adjust our teaching style to be age-appropriate, ensuring everyone from children to grandparents feels included. It is one of the most unique family-friendly activities you can find in Ethiopia, offering a modern contrast to the historical monastery tours.

Where exactly in Bahir Dar does the workshop take place?

We host our workshops at vibrant, accessible outdoor locations around Bahir Dar. Often, we set up near the lakeside or in creative community spaces that capture the city's relaxed atmosphere. Once your booking is confirmed, we will send you the exact location details and directions.
