Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop in Dessie?

Absolutely no prior art experience is needed! Our Dessie graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on the fun and the process of creation, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you're truly proud of. Everybody has a creative side—we're just here to help you find it.

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority while we're having fun. We provide top-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that everyone follows the correct procedures while handling the equipment. You can focus entirely on your art knowing we have the safety side covered.

How long does a typical street art session last?

A standard public art graffiti workshop in Dessie typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic can control, and complete a final masterpiece. If you are planning a larger community event or a festival, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for staying energized and focused without getting tired.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We bring everything you need! Your booking includes all premium spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colors, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces we will be painting on. Whether we are working on large canvases or a designated wall space, you don't need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty, just in case!

Where in Dessie do the graffiti workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations in Dessie. We can host the workshop at a central public art spot, or if you have a specific private venue, office courtyard, or school grounds in mind, we can come to you. We just need a well-ventilated space and permission to paint. If you're unsure where to go, just ask us—we know the best spots around town that offer the perfect backdrop for a day of spray painting.

How does the payment process work? Do I pay upfront?

We believe in a 'fun first' policy, so we don't require any upfront payments. You can book your session and secure your date, and then pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. It’s all about making the process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible for you and your group.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Dessie weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. Since graffiti is best done in dry conditions, we always keep an eye on the forecast. If rain is expected, we can often move to a covered outdoor area or reschedule the event to a better day at no extra cost. Our team is very flexible and will work closely with you to ensure your street art experience isn't dampened by a few clouds.

Local culture

Dessie, the "Buna" capital of the north, sits beautifully nestled between the Tossa and Azwa mountains. This city has always been a hub of movement and trade, making it the perfect place for an art form that is all about energy and public expression. Our workshops often take inspiration from the stunning Kombolcha-Dessie landscapes and the resilient spirit of the local community.

Fun Fact: Did you know Dessie's name translates to "My Joy" in Amharic? We aim to live up to that name by ensuring every workshop is filled with laughter and creative satisfaction. Whether we are painting near the bustling city center or in a quieter spot overlooking the valleys, the "Dessie vibe" always finds its way into the art we create together. 🏔️
