Do I need to have any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our Jimma workshops are designed for everyone, from people who have never held a spray can to experienced illustrators. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on technique, safety, and most importantly, having a great time. You will be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session with just a little guidance from our pros.🔥

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray paint in a variety of vibrant colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space for the workshop. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, some comfortable shoes, and your creative energy. We handle all the prep and cleanup so you can focus on the art.🎨

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces to ensure proper air circulation. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session, teaching you the correct way to handle the cans and respect the environment. We make sure the experience is safe for all ages.🛡️

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard public art workshop in Jimma typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of basic techniques, sketching your design, and the actual painting process. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass or have a very large group, we can adjust the duration to fit your specific needs and schedule.⏱️

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! Since most of our sessions are active and involve moving around, sneakers or closed-toe shoes are the best choice. It is all about being comfortable while you let your creativity flow across the wall.👟

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

While Jimma is known for its beautiful greenery and occasional rain, we always have a plan! We have access to covered outdoor areas and indoor spaces where we can set up portable walls or use large canvases. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what. We make sure the creative fire keeps burning, rain or shine!🌦️

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us a request through our contact form. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We believe in our service and want to make sure you have the best time possible in Jimma.✨

Local culture

Jimma is a city where history meets a youthful, energetic vibe. As the capital of the former Kingdom of Jimma, it has always been a hub of culture and exchange. Today, that exchange is taking a visual turn. We love bringing street art to Jimma because the city's natural beauty provides the perfect contrast to the bold, neon colours of graffiti. From the bustling markets to the quiet, green outskirts, the spirit of "Buna" (coffee) culture inspires a relaxed yet focused creative flow in our participants.

Fun Fact: Did you know Jimma is located in the region where Coffee Arabica was first discovered? We often see participants incorporating coffee cherries and tropical leaf patterns into their graffiti designs! ☕🎨
