Is the graffiti workshop safe for university students?

Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. Our workshops in Addis Ababa use high-quality spray paints, and we provide every student with protective gloves, masks, and coveralls. Our professional instructors are seasoned artists who guide you through the process, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having an absolute blast creating their masterpieces.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on spray time for everyone to complete their individual or group projects. We can also adjust the timing to fit your specific campus schedule or event requirements.

Do we need prior art experience to participate?

You don't need a single ounce of artistic talent to join us! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We teach you everything from how to hold the can to creating cool effects like fades and outlines. It’s all about experimentation and having fun. You’ll be surprised at the professional-looking art you can create by the end of the day.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray cans in a wide variety of colors, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the canvases or surfaces we will be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, and bring your creative energy!

Can you host the workshop directly on our campus?

Yes, we can! While we have great locations in Addis Ababa, we are also fully mobile. We can bring the workshop directly to your university campus, whether it's an outdoor courtyard or a well-ventilated indoor hall. We handle the setup and the cleanup, making it a completely hassle-free experience for student unions or event organizers.

What happens if the artist is unavailable?

We pride ourselves on reliability. Life happens, but your event shouldn't suffer. We have a dedicated team of backup artists ready to step in if an instructor becomes unavailable. Furthermore, we don't require upfront payments; you pay after the workshop is successfully completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience we provided.
