Do I need to have any artistic skills to join a workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Mekelle have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, teaching you how to control the pressure, create clean lines, and build shapes. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the creative process. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created.

Is the graffiti workshop safe and what gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you don't inhale any fumes, along with protective overalls and gloves to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints that are safe when used with the provided gear. Our instructors are also trained to manage the workshop area safely, ensuring a fun experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public art workshops in Mekelle typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale piece. If you are looking for a shorter high-speed session or a full-day immersive masterclass, we can definitely customize the duration to fit your group's specific needs and schedule.

Where do the workshops take place in Mekelle?

While we love the raw energy of urban walls, we offer flexible location options. We have several 'legal walls' and creative spaces we use around Mekelle. Alternatively, if you have a private property or a specific venue in mind, we can bring the workshop to you using mobile wood panels or plastic film walls. This allows us to bring the street art vibe anywhere!

How does the 'pay after' policy work?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can organize your event, get everyone excited, and handle the payment after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before a single cent is spent. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.

What should I bring to the workshop?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on. Even though we provide protective suits, it's best to be safe! Also, bring your energy and an open mind. We provide all the professional materials, including premium spray cans in every color of the rainbow, nozzles (caps), canvases, and safety equipment. You just need to show up and have fun!

Local culture

Mekelle is a city of incredible resilience and rising creativity. Known for its wide boulevards and the iconic Romanat Square, the city provides a unique backdrop for public art that speaks to both tradition and modern Ethiopian life. The local street art scene here is growing, influenced by the deep cultural history of the region and the youthful energy of its university students.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Mekelle's name is said to be derived from the 'Mekelle-Ily' (the place of the spirits)? Today, we channel that spiritual energy into vibrant, living murals that decorate our urban landscape! ✨

Our workshops often draw inspiration from Tigrayan motifs, blending them with modern "wildstyle" lettering to create something truly unique to this highland hub.
