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

Our graffiti workshops in Benin City are designed for absolute beginners. You don't need any prior drawing or painting skills to enjoy the experience. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to layering colors. Most tourists find it surprisingly easy and very relaxing once they get the rhythm of the spray.

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

We prioritize your safety above all else. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks to filter out fumes. All workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated legal graffiti walls. Our facilitators are trained professionals who ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a great time creating their street art.

How long does the workshop session last?

Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the craft, technique practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We can also customize the duration if you have a tight sightseeing schedule around the city—just let us know what works for you.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide protective overalls, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think casual and practical—sneakers are better than sandals for stability while you work on your mural at the wall.

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

Yes, we have a 'pay after the workshop' policy for most groups. We believe in the quality of our experience and want you to feel confident in your choice. No upfront payment is required to secure your booking, and we have backup artists available to ensure your session never gets cancelled at the last minute.

Can I take photos and videos during the workshop?

Definitely! We encourage you to take as many photos and videos as you like. Seeing your progress from a blank wall to a finished piece of street art is part of the fun. It’s a great way to document your trip to Benin City and share a unique side of Nigerian culture with your friends.

What kind of materials do you provide?

At Graffitifun, we use high-quality spray cans with various nozzles (caps) for different effects. We also provide professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits. All the materials are included in the price, so you don't need to bring anything but your creativity and energy to the session.
