Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to participate in the workshop?

You don't need any prior experience to join our street art festival workshop in Kananga. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether you've never touched a spray can before or you have some artistic background, we'll guide you through the process of creating your first masterpiece. It’s all about having fun and expressing your unique personality through colour and design!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for beginners?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use professional-grade paints and ensure our outdoor festival setups in Kananga have plenty of ventilation. You’re in safe, experienced hands throughout the entire creative process.

What should I wear and bring to the festival?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little paint on, just in case! Even though we provide protective suits, it's best to wear older trainers and casual wear. Since Kananga can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best bet. We provide everything else, including high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps, and the surfaces you'll be painting on.

Can children join the graffiti workshop?

Absolutely! Our street art festival workshops are designed to be inclusive and family-friendly. We have experience working with children (usually aged 6 and up) and teenagers. It’s a brilliant way for kids to develop their motor skills and express their creativity in a supervised, positive environment. It’s often the highlight of the festival for younger attendees who love seeing their work on a large scale.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard festival workshop session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice on practice walls, and then the creation of your final piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where participants stay energised and focused without getting too tired. However, we can adapt the timing to fit the specific schedule of the Kananga event.

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We don't require upfront payments for our festival bookings. You can organise the event with us, and payment is settled after the workshop is complete. We believe in the quality of our service and want you to be 100% satisfied with the experience before everything is finalised. This makes the planning process much less stressful for organisers!

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

We understand that plans can change. Because we have a large team of professional artists, we always have backup artists ready to step in if someone falls ill. This means your street art experience in Kananga is highly unlikely to be cancelled. If the weather is extremely poor, we try to find a covered area or reschedule to a time that works for everyone involved.
