Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Mbeya university workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those who have dabbled in sketching. Our professional artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. You'll start with basic lines and fills before moving on to more complex techniques. Most students are shocked at how professional their work looks by the end of the session. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What materials are included in the university workshop?

We provide everything you need to create a masterpiece. This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We also provide the canvases or boards we'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your creativity, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and plenty of energy!

Is the workshop safe for students and campus property?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks and latex-free gloves for every participant. Our workshops are ideally held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the fresh Mbeya breeze. Our instructors are also trained to manage group dynamics safely, ensuring everyone handles the spray cans correctly while maintaining a respectful and secure environment for all students and staff.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard university workshop in Mbeya usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti history, a safety demonstration, some practice time on 'try-out' boards, and then the main event where you create your final piece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific event schedule or lecture breaks if you have a tighter window!

Can we paint on actual university walls?

While we specialize in temporary setups using high-quality wooden boards or canvases that students can keep, we are open to discussing permanent murals on university walls. This requires explicit permission from the administration. If you’re looking to brighten up a specific campus building in Mbeya, let us know and we can provide a professional proposal for a permanent street art project that involves student collaboration.

What happens if we have a very large group of students?

We love hosting large groups! Whether it’s a specific faculty workshop or a massive campus-wide festival, we can scale our team. We have a network of backup artists to ensure your event never gets cancelled. For very large groups, we often set up multiple 'stations' so everyone gets plenty of time with a spray can and individual guidance from our pros. No one gets left out of the creative process!

How does the booking and payment process work?

We offer total flexibility with our 'Pay After' policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your Mbeya workshop date. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay once the workshop is completed and everyone is happy. This makes it much easier for university societies or student unions to manage their budgets and internal approval processes without the stress of immediate deposits.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Mbeya university event? because it’s the ultimate way to swap the pen for a spray can and build something epic with your peers. 🚀 Here is why students love it:

Epic Stress Relief: Forget exams for a few hours and let out some steam with a can of paint in your hand.
Total Inclusivity: You don't need to be an "art student" to excel. Street art is for everyone, regardless of skill level.
Social Media Gold: Your campus feed will look incredible with photos of students creating vibrant, massive pieces of art. 📸
Real World Skills: Learn about colour theory, perspective, and design in a way that feels like play, not work.
Team Vibes: Nothing builds a sense of community like collaborating on a large-scale mural or cheering on your mates' designs.
Zero Hassle: We bring everything! You just provide the space and the students, and we handle the rest.

Step by step

Intro & Inspiration: We kick things off with a quick look at the history of street art and the different styles you'll see around the world.
Safety First: Everyone gets geared up with protective suits, masks, and gloves. We’ll show you exactly how to handle the cans safely. 🔥
First Sprays: You’ll start on a practice board to get a feel for the pressure, distance, and "flow" of the spray paint.
Sketching Your Idea: Our pros help you translate your thoughts into a rough outline on your canvas or board.
Filling In: This is where the colour comes to life! You'll learn how to apply smooth layers and blend shades like a pro.
The Outline: Learn the "clean-up" technique—using a contrasting colour to make your shapes and letters pop.
Detailing & Highlights: We’ll teach you how to add those final flares, sparkles, and shadows that give your art depth. ✨
The Big Reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collective gallery of work created by the Mbeya student community.
Clean Up: We pack up all the gear, leaving your campus exactly as we found it (except for the amazing new art!).

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours (we can adapt to your lecture schedule!).

Local culture

Mbeya is known as the "Green City," nestled amongst the beautiful Mbeya Range and the Loleza Peak. This natural beauty provides a stunning contrast to the urban grit of graffiti art. We love the creative energy at institutions like the Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST) and Teofilo Kisanji University. Student life here is vibrant, and street art is a fantastic way to celebrate local culture and university spirit. ⛰️

Fun Fact: Did you know that the coffee grown in the hills surrounding Mbeya is world-famous? Just like a perfectly roasted bean, our workshops are all about finding that perfect blend of technique and passion!

Whether we are setting up on a campus courtyard or a nearby community space, we bring a vibe that matches the rhythmic heart of Mbeya. It’s not just about painting; it’s about contributing to the creative pulse of one of Tanzania’s most dynamic cities.
