How it works

Introduction & safety: We start with a warm welcome and a quick briefing on how to use the equipment safely while protecting our environment.
The 'Tag' creation: Every artist needs a signature! Kids learn how to design their own unique graffiti tag on paper first.
Can control basics: Our pros teach the secrets of 'can control'—how to create thin lines, thick fades, and smooth dots.
Practice run: We head to the practice wall or plastic film to get a feel for the pressure and flow of the spray cans.
Sketching the masterpiece: Participants start sketching their main concept onto the large canvas or wall surface.
Filling & coloring: This is where the magic happens! We use a burst of vibrant colors to fill in the designs and bring them to life.
Outlining & highlights: We add the finishing touches with sharp outlines and highlights to make the artwork pop and look professional.
Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the art, followed by a quick tidy-up of the area.
Taking home the art: If we painted on individual canvases, the kids get to take their amazing new street art home to hang on their walls!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during school holidays?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise the entire session in Mekelle, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We choose well-ventilated outdoor spots or spacious indoor areas to make sure the environment is perfect for a fun and healthy creative session for your children.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

No prior artistic skill or drawing experience is needed! Our workshops in Mekelle are designed for beginners. Our friendly artists will guide the kids through every step, from holding the can to master layering techniques. It’s all about having fun, expressing yourself, and learning something new. We often find that kids who think they aren't 'artistic' end up creating the most amazing pieces of street art!

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. Even though we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business when you're having this much fun! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety while moving around the canvases. Think of it as a creative workout—wear something that lets the kids move freely as they paint their masterpieces.

Are all materials included in the workshop price?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience in Mekelle. This includes a wide variety of colorful spray cans, caps for different line widths, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the canvases or surfaces to paint on. You don't need to bring a single thing—just your energy and imagination! We handle all the setup and the heavy lifting so you can focus on the art.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the workshop?

The weather in Mekelle is usually great, but we always have a plan B! If it rains, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a suitable indoor location. Because we have a large network of artists and flexible setups, we ensure the school holiday fun doesn't stop just because of a few clouds. We’ll coordinate with you to make sure the kids stay dry and creative.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

A standard school holiday workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tag', and collaborate on a final large-scale piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping kids engaged and excited without them getting tired. We can also customize the duration if you have a specific schedule to meet!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops for small groups of friends or large-scale holiday programs for dozens of children. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure every child gets personal attention and guidance. Whether it's a small neighborhood gathering in Mekelle or a major city-wide holiday event, we have the staff and equipment to make it a massive success.
