Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during school holidays?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are experienced in teaching young people and ensure a supervised, secure environment. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control, making it a safe and productive way to spend the school holidays in Addis Ababa.
Do participants need any prior drawing or painting skills?
No prior art experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those who love to doodle. Our expert instructors will guide you through every step, from basic lines to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you’ve created on your own piece of Addis street art.
What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?
We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls or aprons, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Since most of our sessions in Addis Ababa take place outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces, dress appropriately for the local weather to stay comfortable throughout the creative process.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
Our standard school holiday workshops in Addis Ababa typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is perfect for maintaining high energy levels and providing enough time to learn the techniques and finish a complete piece of art. We balance the time between technical instruction, practice sessions, and the final creative spray painting phase to ensure a full experience.
Can you host the workshop at our specific location?
Yes, we offer complete flexibility! While we have several creative "legal walls" and partner spots around the city, we can also bring the graffiti experience directly to your location in Addis Ababa. As long as there is adequate ventilation and space, our mobile team can set up everything needed for a professional workshop at your venue or school grounds.
What materials are included in the workshop price?
Everything is included! When you book a school holiday package with Graffitifun, we provide all the spray paint cans, specialized caps (nozzles), protective gear, gloves, and the painting surfaces (like large boards or walls). You don't need to shop for anything; just bring your creativity and enthusiasm. We take care of all the logistics and cleanup after the session.
How much does the graffiti workshop cost per person?
The cost varies based on the number of participants and the specific setup required. In Addis Ababa, prices generally range from Br1500 to Br3500 per person. Larger groups often benefit from a lower price per head. To get the most accurate pricing for your specific school holiday group, we always recommend reaching out for a custom quote tailored to your needs.
