I've never done graffiti before, is this workshop suitable for me?

Absolutely! Our Tshikapa workshops are specifically designed for beginners and tourists who have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to advanced shading techniques. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a little bit of expert coaching and the right atmosphere.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Your safety is our priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly, making the experience both safe and enjoyable for explorers of all ages.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard sessions for tourists in Tshikapa usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover safety, practice basic strokes, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. If you have a tight travel schedule, let us know – we can often tailor the timing to fit your itinerary through the Kasai region.

What should I wear to my graffiti experience?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls, spray paint can be unpredictable! Since Tshikapa can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best bet. Don't forget your camera or phone to capture the process and your final masterpiece.

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

We are incredibly flexible for our travelling guests! You don't need to pay anything upfront. You can settle the payment after the workshop once you've had a fantastic time. We accept several payment methods, but it's always worth checking with us during the booking process for the current most convenient local options in the Kasai-Occidental area.

Can I take my creation home with me?

Yes, you certainly can! While we often work on large communal murals, we can also arrange for you to spray on individual canvases or boards. This is a popular choice for tourists who want a unique, handmade souvenir from their time in DR Congo to take back home. Just let us know your preference when requesting your quote.

What happens if it rains or the artist is sick?

If the weather doesn't play ball, don't worry! We have backup plans and alternative covered locations in Tshikapa to ensure the fun doesn't stop. Additionally, because we have a large team of backup artists, we guarantee that your workshop will go ahead even if your lead instructor falls ill. Your travel plans are safe with Graffitifun.
