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

No prior art experience is needed to enjoy our Jimma workshops! Our professional artists specialize in teaching absolute beginners. We start with basic spray can control and safety, then move into lettering and shading techniques. By the time we finish, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having a great time and expressing your unique personality through vibrant street art!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor setting. Our Jimma instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. While the paint is permanent on the wall, we make sure it stays off your favorite travel outfit!

How long does the graffiti experience take?

A standard session for tourists in Jimma lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the safety briefing, the history of street art, practice sessions on plastic wrap or practice walls, and finally, the creation of your main piece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing without feeling rushed, giving you plenty of time to master the spray can.

Where exactly in Jimma do the workshops take place?

We usually host our Jimma workshops at vibrant outdoor locations that capture the city's unique spirit, or at a private creative space if the weather is unpredictable. Once you book, we’ll provide the exact coordinates. We can also come to your hotel or a specific venue if you are traveling with a large group and have the appropriate outdoor space available.

What should I bring with me to the session?

Your creative spirit is the only thing you need! Graffitifun provides everything else: a wide variety of spray paint colors, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the canvas or wall space. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. Don't forget your camera or phone—you'll definitely want to capture the process and your final artwork!

Can I book a workshop at the last minute?

We love the flexibility of travel! While we appreciate early bookings to ensure we have your favorite colors in stock, we can often accommodate last-minute requests if an artist is available. Since we have backup artists ready to go, we rarely have to say no. Just send us a quick message or use our cost calculator to check availability for your dates in Jimma.
