Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

No prior experience is necessary! Our workshops in Jijiga are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. We focus on fun and creativity, so even if you've never picked up a can of paint in your life, you'll walk away with a piece of art you're proud of.✨

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a variety of vibrant colours, protective gear (gloves and masks), and the surface you'll be painting on (usually a large canvas or a designated wall space). You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on!🎨

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odor spray paints whenever possible and provide all necessary protective equipment, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before we start. The workshop is held in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone can breathe easily while they create.🛡️

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective gear, we strongly recommend wearing 'work clothes'—items you wouldn't mind getting a permanent splash of colour on. Spray paint is tough to get out of fabric! Comfortable shoes are also a must as you'll be standing and moving around while you paint your masterpiece.👟

How long does the workshop last?

A standard tourist workshop in Jijiga typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your main artwork. It's the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule!⏱️

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, or a large tour group, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your group size when you request a quote!👥

How do I book and when do I pay?🎉

Booking is easy and risk-free. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Simply contact us with your preferred date and group size, and we will send you a custom quote. Once confirmed, you pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with your experience before any money changes hands.💰

Local culture

Jijiga is a city of movement and bright colours, from the flowing traditional garments in the markets to the rapid urban growth seen across the Somali Region. Our workshops celebrate this local energy by encouraging you to incorporate regional patterns and vibrant desert hues into your work. Street art in Ethiopia is a growing movement, and Jijiga’s unique position as a cultural crossroads makes it the perfect place to experiment with new styles.
