Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting experience is needed to enjoy our Mbuji-Mayi school holiday workshops. We specialise in teaching beginners the ropes. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to creating your first masterpiece. It’s all about having fun, being bold, and trying something new in a supportive environment.

Is it safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or large indoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and ensure that all participants follow safety protocols throughout the entire session. We make sure the environment is as safe as it is creative.

What should I wear to the workshop?

For our school holiday sessions in Mbuji-Mayi, we recommend wearing comfortable old clothes and sturdy shoes. Even though we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or trainers! It’s best to wear something that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic character' on. We'll take care of the rest of the gear.

What materials are included in the price?

Everything is included! When you book a holiday workshop with us, we provide the spray cans, a wide variety of caps for different effects, protective gear, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on (like Large boards or canvases). You don’t need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm and perhaps some water to stay hydrated while you work.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Don't worry about the weather! We have various locations across Mbuji-Mayi, including sheltered outdoor spots and large, airy indoor venues. If the tropical rain starts pouring, we simply move the session to one of our covered areas. Your creative flow won't be interrupted by a bit of rain; we always have a plan B ready to go.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our holiday workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale graffiti piece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep energy levels high and allow everyone to finish their artwork without feeling rushed or overly tired. Large groups can sometimes opt for extended sessions.

Can I book this for a large group of friends?

Yes, we love helping groups! Whether you're a youth club, a large family, or a group of friends, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we often send multiple artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention. We offer tiered pricing, so the cost per person often decreases as your group size increases. Just let us know your numbers when you enquire! factory

Will I get to take my artwork home?

We offer a range of options! While most workshop pieces are done on communal boards or temporary walls to give that authentic 'street' feel, we can also arrange for participants to paint on individual canvases. This is a popular choice for holiday sessions as it means you get to take your unique creation home to hang on your wall immediately!
