Do I need to be an artist to participate in the workshop?

You don't need any prior art skills to join our Tanga workshop! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, palm pressure, and nozzle control. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed, supportive environment. Everyone leaves with a smile and a fresh set of skills!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints in a well-ventilated outdoor setting. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free experience for tourists of all ages. Just bring your enthusiasm, and we'll take care of all the protective gear and equipment!

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard workshops for tourists in Tanga typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your own artwork. If you have a tight travel schedule, just let us know! We can often adjust the pace to suit your group’s needs without rushing the fun part—the painting itself!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable, casual clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. While we provide full protective overalls, gloves, and masks, it's always best to play it safe. Tanga can be warm, so breathable fabrics are a great choice. Don't forget your sunglasses and a camera to capture the progress of your street art masterpiece from start to finish!

What is the maximum group size for a booking?

Our workshops are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a couple on holiday, or a large family exploring Tanzania, we can accommodate you. For very large tour groups or corporate retreats, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and plenty of time with the spray cans. Just get in touch, and we will tailor the setup for your specific numbers.

Can I choose what I want to paint?

Absolutely! We love it when participants want to create something deeply personal. You can choose to paint your name, a travel quote, or even a stencil-style portrait. Our artists are there to help you sketch out your ideas and guide you on which colours will pop. It’s your canvas, and we want you to leave Tanga with an artwork that tells your unique Tanzanian story.

How do I book and is there an upfront payment?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website for your specific dates and group size. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You can settle the booking after the workshop is complete. We also have a pool of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your holiday plans.

Local culture

Tanga is a city of hidden gems, where colonial history meets a relaxed Swahili pace. While many tourists head straight for the Amboni Caves or the ruins of Tongoni, the local art scene is quietly bubbling with energy. Our workshops tap into this coastal vibe, blending traditional Tanzanian aesthetics with modern urban expression. You’ll find that street art in Tanga is about community and storytelling—elements we bring into every session. 🌊

Fun Fact: Tanga’s name comes from the word for 'Sail' in Ki-Swahili. Just as the dhows have navigated these waters for centuries, our artists will help you navigate the waves of your own creativity! ⛵

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible and tailored to your specific needs. Costs depend on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether you want to paint a permanent wall or take-home canvases. 💸
