Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Mwanza workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced layering techniques. You don't need to be 'artistic' to have a great time—we're all about discovering your hidden creativity in a fun, relaxed environment. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve in just a few hours!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and all the professional tips you can handle. Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some water to stay hydrated under the Tanzanian sun!

How do you ensure the safety of the participants?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all participants with professional-grade protective masks and gloves. Our instructors are highly experienced and will give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the 'spray away' rules to keep the session safe and enjoyable.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard workshops in Mwanza typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a tutorial on techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you're on a tight safari schedule or want a longer, deep-dive session, just let us know! We can adapt the timing to fit your group’s needs and travel plans.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! One of the best parts of our tourist workshops is that you get to paint on a transportable canvas. Once the paint is dry, you can roll it up or pack it away to take home as the ultimate, personalised souvenir from your time in the Rock City. It’s a much more meaningful memento than a standard postcard or a mass-produced trinket!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We can host small private groups, families, or larger tour groups. Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a unique activity or a group of twenty friends exploring Tanzania together, we have the staff and equipment to accommodate you. For very large groups, we simply bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention.

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can request a quote through our website based on your group size. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You only pay after the workshop is complete, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations.

Local culture

Mwanza is a city of stunning natural beauty, famous for the massive granite boulders that dot the landscape. But beyond the rocks, there is a growing urban energy. Our workshops tap into this modern Tanzanian spirit, blending traditional influences with international street art styles. While you paint, you'll feel the cool breeze from Lake Victoria and the bustling rhythm of the lakeside markets nearby.

Fun Fact: Did you know Mwanza's famous 'Bismarck Rock' is one of the most photographed spots in East Africa? We often see tourists drawing inspiration from the lake’s unique topography for their graffiti pieces! 🇿🇦

Whether you've spent the week on safari or are just starting your Tanzanian adventure, adding a splash of spray paint to your itinerary is the best way to connect with the local creative scene. We encourage our guests to explore other hubs like Dar es Salaam or Arusha to see how the street art vibe changes across the country!

Our workshop prices are as unique as your artwork! Because we tailor every session—whether it's an intimate family lesson or a large group activity—prices depend on your group size and chosen setup. We believe in transparency and fun, which is why we offer no upfront payments. You get to enjoy the experience and pay once we've guaranteed your satisfaction! ✨
