Do I need to be an artist to participate?

Absolutely no prior experience or artistic talent is required to join our Hawassa workshop! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of can control and simple lettering. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun, expressing yourself, and trying something completely new in a supportive environment.

Is it safe and messy?

Safety and cleanliness are our priorities. We provide high-quality gloves and protective masks to ensure you don't inhale fumes. While we use professional-grade spray paint, we also offer protective gear to keep your clothes clean. However, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or something you don't mind getting a little paint on, just in case you get extra creative with your spray!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard public art session in Hawassa usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale mural or individual canvases. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep the energy high without getting tired. Longer sessions can be arranged for larger groups or complex festival projects.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveler looking for a private lesson or a large organization planning a festival for hundreds, we can accommodate you. For group bookings, we usually recommend a minimum of 5 people to get the best atmosphere, but we have backup artists ready to scale up for massive public events anywhere in the Sidama region.

Where do the workshops take place in Hawassa?

We love working outdoors to capture the true spirit of street art! In Hawassa, we often host workshops near the lake or in designated urban art spaces. However, we also have indoor solutions using low-odor water-based paints if the weather doesn't cooperate or if you prefer a gallery-style setting. We can even bring the mobile graffiti wall directly to your specific location!

What exactly is included in the price?

Your booking includes everything! We provide premium spray cans in a rainbow of colors, professional caps (nozzles) for different effects, high-quality masks, gloves, and the painting surface (either a communal wall or individual canvases). You also get the expert guidance of our pro artists throughout the entire session. There are no hidden fees—just show up and start spraying!

Do I need to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your date in Hawassa. You can pay after the workshop once you've seen the results and had an amazing time. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. Your satisfaction and trust are what keep us going as the top art providers!
