Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting experience is required. Our professional artists in Lubumbashi are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on 'controlled chaos' and creative expression, ensuring that every participant—regardless of their artistic background—walks away with a masterpiece they are proud of. It’s all about having fun and trying something new during the school break!

Is the spray paint safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor areas with proper airflow. Our instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for all students.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or old outfits that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Spray paint is permanent and, despite our best efforts with gear, a stray drip or smudge can happen when you're in the creative zone! Comfortable closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety while moving around the canvases.

How long does a typical holiday workshop last?

A standard school holiday workshop in Lubumbashi typically runs for about 2 hours. This provides enough time for the intro, technique practice, and the final creation. However, we can also offer extended half-day sessions or multi-day boot camps for groups who want to dive deeper into street art culture and mural design. Use our cost calculator to see how different durations affect the price!

Can you accommodate large holiday club groups?

We can certainly accommodate large groups! Whether it's a small group of friends or a large community holiday programme, we have a network of backup artists in the DR Congo to ensure we maintain a great student-to-teacher ratio. For very large groups, we often rotate participants through different 'stations' to keep the energy high and the spray cans moving.

What happens if we need to cancel our booking?

We understand that plans can change. That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. If you need to reschedule or cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, just let us know as soon as possible. Our goal is to keep things stress-free so you can focus on the art!
