How it works

  1. Introduction & inspiration: We start with a brief history of graffiti culture and show you some incredible local street art examples to get your ideas flowing.
  2. The gear demo: Our pro artists show you how to use the spray cans, explain the different nozzles (caps), and show you how to stay safe and clean. ✨
  3. Mastering the lines: You'll start by practicing basic lines, dots, and curves on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and movement.
  4. Concept sketching: Whether it's a personal tag or a group mural, we'll help you sketch out your design before you start spraying the 'real' thing.
  5. Filling and fading: Learn the secrets of 'filling in' large areas smoothly and how to create those cool colour fades and gradients. 🎨
  6. The outline (the 'piece'): This is where it comes together! You'll apply the final outlines and sharpened edges to make your artwork pop.
  7. Adding details: Use highlights and shadows to give your graffiti depth and a professional 3D effect. 🔥
  8. Final masterpiece: Step back and admire the collaborative wall or your individual canvas. It's time for some legendary group photos!
  9. Wrap-up: We handle all the cleanup, leaving the site as we found it, but with a lot more colour in everyone's memories!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our participants in Kisangani have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to shake the can to mastering different 'caps' for varied strokes. We focus on fun and expression over perfection, so you'll feel like a pro by the time we finish. We provide all the guidance and safety kit you need to start your street art journey.

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring everyone has a great time without any risks. Just wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard cultural graffiti workshop in Kisangani typically lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything! Your booking includes all premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on (such as large boards or canvases). We also provide professional-grade caps for different spray widths. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some water to stay hydrated in the Kisangani heat. We handle the setup and the cleanup.

Can you accommodate large groups or festivals?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops for small groups of 5 friends or large-scale cultural events with over 100 participants. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'graffiti stations' to ensure everyone gets hands-on time and personal instruction. No matter the size of your group in Kisangani, we have the resources to make it happen smoothly.

When do I need to pay for the workshop?

We believe in the quality of our service, so we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can book your date and confirm the details with us, and then pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. This gives you total peace of mind and ensures we are fully committed to delivering an amazing session for your Kisangani event.
