What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete experience. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colors, professional-grade protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creations. You only need to bring your energy and maybe some clothes you do not mind getting a bit of dust on.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction, a skill-building practice session, and the final creation of your large-scale artwork. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a longer corporate retreat schedule or a full-day team-building event if you need something more intensive.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality equipment and ensure all participants wear protective gear, including specialized masks for fume protection and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces. Furthermore, our instructors are experienced professionals who monitor the group at all times to ensure a safe and fun creative environment for everyone.

We offer great flexibility for our Addis Ababa clients. You do not need to pay anything upfront when you book your retreat. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative experience we provided before any transaction takes place.
