How it works

  1. Arrival and safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and suit everyone up in protective gear. Safety first!
  2. The basics of 'can-control': Kids learn how to hold the spray can, how to control pressure, and how to create clean lines.
  3. Sketching the vision: Our artists help the group brainstorm a theme or a giant mural design on paper before touching the wall.
  4. The 'first layer': Participants start filling in the large areas of colour, learning about coverage and overlapping.
  5. In-depth techniques: We teach more advanced tricks like shadows, highlights, and the famous 'outline' that makes art pop.
  6. Personal signature (The Tag): Every artist needs a signature! Kids practice their own unique tags to sign off their work.
  7. The big reveal: We step back to admire the finished collaborative mural or individual canvases. It's a proud moment!
  8. Photo session: We take high-quality photos of the kids with their artwork so they can show off their skills to friends and family.

Frequently asked questions

Do the kids need to have any previous drawing or art skills?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to join our summer camp activities in Lubumbashi. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to 3D effects and shading. Most kids are shocked by what they can create in just one session. It is all about building confidence and having a blast with the spray cans!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for low-odour and safety standards. Every session begins with a comprehensive safety briefing where we teach kids how to handle the equipment responsibly. Our instructors supervise the group closely at all times to ensure a secure and creative environment.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable trainers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective suits, sometimes a little 'creative splash' can find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Since Lubumbashi can get quite warm during the summer months, light, breathable clothing is best. Don't forget a hat and some drinking water to stay hydrated while we work our magic outdoors!

How long does a typical graffiti summer camp session last?

A standard summer camp graffiti session usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, but we can easily adapt this to fit your camp's specific schedule. For larger groups, we often run several back-to-back sessions or one big collaborative project that spans the whole afternoon. We are totally flexible and can work around your lunch breaks or other planned activities to make the day run smoothly.

Can you accommodate large groups of 50 or more children?

We love big groups! We can accommodate anything from a small group of 10 to large camp gatherings of 100+ participants. For larger numbers, we simply bring more professional artists and set up more spray stations to ensure everyone gets plenty of 'can-time.' We make sure the artist-to-student ratio stays low so that every child receives personal guidance and help with their masterpiece.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

In the event of heavy rain in Lubumbashi, we have a few tricks up our sleeves. If you have an indoor space with high ceilings and good ventilation, we can often set up there using floor protection. Alternatively, we can reschedule to a different day or use our 'backup artists' system to ensure your event happens as soon as the weather clears up. We always consult with you to find the best solution.
