I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Dessie have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists walk you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced shading techniques. We provide a safe, supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created to show off to your fellow travelers.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority while we're having fun! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialized FFP3 masks to ensure you don't breathe in any fumes. The workshop takes place in well-ventilated areas. Our instructors are experienced pros who manage the equipment carefully, making this a safe, exhilarating experience for tourists of all ages.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Dessie typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, practicing your technique on practice walls, and finally completing your full-scale canvas or mural project. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule without feeling rushed.

What should I wear and bring with me?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, even though we provide full protective gear. Since Dessie can have changeable weather, dressing in layers is a smart move. We provide everything else: premium spray paint, caps, masks, gloves, and the canvas or wall space for your creation.

Can I book this for a large travel group?

We love hosting groups! Whether you are a solo backpacker looking to meet people, a couple on a romantic Ethiopian adventure, or a large travel group, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personalized coaching and plenty of 'airtime' with the spray cans.

Do I need to pay in advance?

No upfront payment is required when you book your Dessie workshop! We believe in the quality of our experience, so you can pay after the workshop is completed. This keeps your travel planning stress-free. We accept various payment methods and can provide a digital receipt for your travel expenses. Fun is guaranteed, or we make it right!

Local culture

Dessie, often called the 'Gateway to the North,' is perched beautifully in the highlands, offering a unique backdrop for any artist.

Fun Fact: Dessie is known for its steep hills and dramatic views. Creating art at this altitude literally takes your breath away (in the best way possible)!

If you're heading to other parts of the country, don't miss out on the street art scenes in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, or Adama.
