Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Gondar have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, including how to hold the can, controlling pressure, and making clean lines. By the time you start on your masterpiece, you will feel like a pro. We focus on fun and creativity, so there is no pressure to be perfect—just enjoy the process!

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. The spray paints we use are professional grade, and our instructors provide a full safety briefing before we start. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, as we will be working in an active, creative environment.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard workshop for tourists in Gondar lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a technical demonstration, practice sessions, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a tight travel schedule, let us know, and we can adjust the pace to fit your itinerary perfectly.

What is included in the workshop package?

Everything you need is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colors, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface you will be painting on. For tourists, we often use high-quality canvases so you have a portable piece of art to take home, or we use designated practice walls for a larger-than-life experience.

How does the payment process work?

We are very flexible! You do not need to pay anything upfront when you book. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept cash in ETB or electronic transfers. This 'pay later' policy ensures that you can book with total confidence while exploring the beautiful city of Gondar.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We can accommodate everything from solo travelers and couples to large tour groups. Whether you are a backpacker looking for a unique afternoon activity or a large family group exploring the Royal Enclosure, we scale our team of artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. For very large groups, we bring in backup artists to keep the energy high!

Local culture

Gondar is a city of stories, told through stone and ancient paintings. From the iconic Debre Berhan Selassie Church with its ceiling of winged angels to the towering castles of the Emperors, inspiration is everywhere. Street art in Ethiopia is a growing movement, blending traditional motifs with modern urban expression. In Gondar, we embrace this fusion by encouraging our guests to draw inspiration from the city's royal heritage and vibrant street life. ✨

Fun fact: Did you know that the "Gondarine style" of painting, characterized by bold colors and large eyes, influenced Ethiopian art for centuries? We love seeing tourists incorporate these classic elements into their modern graffiti pieces! 🎨
