How it works

  1. The safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about safety, gear, and how to use the spray cans professionally.
  2. The demo: Watch our lead artist show off some "can control" techniques, from thin lines to thick fills.
  3. Sketching the dream: Participants grab markers and paper to plan their tags and designs before hitting the wall.
  4. First lines: We start on the wall! Kids learn how to set the foundations of their piece with light "ghost lines".
  5. Filling in: This is where the magic happens as the group adds vibrant colours and learns how to layer paint.
  6. Outlining and details: Our artists help the students sharpen their edges and add those crisp "power outlines" that make graffiti pop.
  7. The finishing touches: We add highlights, shadows, and maybe a few "drips" for that authentic street art look.
  8. The grand reveal: Step back and admire the collaboration! It's time for a group photo with the finished masterpiece.

Frequently asked questions

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to budding young artists. Our professional street artists guide the kids through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. By the time they reach the final masterpiece, they’ll have the confidence and skills to create something they are truly proud of. It’s all about discovery and having a blast with a spray can in hand.

Is the workshop safe for children?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint, and our experienced instructors supervise the group at all times. All sessions are held in well-ventilated areas to ensure a safe environment. You can relax knowing your kids are in expert hands while they explore their creative side during the school break.

How long does a typical session last?

Typically, our school holiday workshops in Dar es Salaam last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the techniques, sketch their ideas, and complete their large-scale graffiti mural without feeling rushed. It’s the perfect duration to keep energy levels high and focus sharp, ensuring every participant finishes their artwork and feels like a genuine street art pro.

What should the participants wear?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide protective overalls, it's always best to be prepared. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. We provide everything else, including premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps, masks, and the "canvas" (usually a large wooden wall or plastic wrap). Just bring your energy and creativity!

Can they work on a group project together?

Absolutely! We love it when kids work together. While we teach individual skills like tagging and outlines, the main event is often a massive collaborative mural. This teaches teamwork and communication as they decide on a theme and colour scheme together. It’s a fantastic way for them to make new friends during the holidays while contributing to one giant, vibrant piece of community street art.

Where in Dar es Salaam do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! If you have a specific location in Dar es Salaam in mind, like a school yard or a community centre, we can usually bring the workshop to you. If not, we have several creative "street spots" around the city where we host our sessions. All we need is a well-ventilated space and permission to get a little bit colourful. Contact us to discuss the best spot for your group.

How does the payment process work?

No upfront payment is required when you book! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the session is complete. This makes the planning process completely stress-free for parents and organisers. Simply request a quote, confirm your date, and get ready for an unforgettable holiday experience. If plans change, our flexible booking system and backup artist guarantee mean you’re always covered.
