Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum age for the graffiti workshop?
For our school holiday workshops in Kinshasa, we recommend children be at least 6 years old. This ensures they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow safety instructions. We use specialised low-pressure cans for younger artists to make the process easier. Our professional artists are fantastic at adapting their teaching style to suit different age groups, ensuring everyone from primary kids to teenagers has a brilliant time.
Is the workshop safe for children?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art spaces. Our instructors are seasoned professionals who start every session with a comprehensive safety briefing. We use non-toxic, professional-grade paints, and our backup artist policy ensures that your session always has expert supervision.
Do the kids need any prior drawing or painting skills?
Not at all! Our school holiday programme is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to budding young artists. Our Kinshasa-based street artists guide the children through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, yet they all leave with a finished piece of art they can be proud of.
What should the participants wear to the session?
We suggest wearing comfortable, old clothing and closed-toe shoes. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and paint might find its way onto sleeves or shoes. It’s best to wear things you don’t mind getting a little bit of 'artistic character' on. Since Kinshasa can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are also a great choice for staying comfortable during the session.
How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?
A standard school holiday workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn techniques and complete a full mural. For larger groups or holiday camps in the DRC, we can extend the duration or split the group into rotations. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining focus and achieving high-quality results.
Can the children take their artwork home?
Absolutely! While we have a dedicated wall or boards for the workshop, the students will often work on their own individual pieces or contribute to a large-scale collaborative mural. If they work on mobile canvases or boards, they can certainly take their creations home to show off to family and friends. It’s a fantastic way for them to remember their creative holiday experience in the heart of Kinshasa.
How does the payment process work?
One of the best things about booking with us is that you don't have to pay anything upfront. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This gives you total peace of mind when planning your holiday activities. We accept various payment methods, and our friendly team will provide you with all the details once your booking is confirmed.
