Why choose us in Adama?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your school in Adama? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building confidence and teamwork. Here’s why schools love our programs:
- Encourages Collaboration: Students must work together to create a single, cohesive mural, teaching them the value of teamwork and compromise.
- Safe & Controlled Environment: We turn a "rebellious" art form into a structured, educational experience guided by professionals.
- Focuses on Fine Motor Skills: Controlling a spray can requires precision and focus, helping students develop physical coordination.
- Boosts School Spirit: Creating a permanent mural on school grounds creates a lasting sense of pride and ownership among the student body.
- Mental Well-being: Art is a powerful outlet for self-expression, helping students manage stress and communicate their emotions in a healthy way.
- Professional Guidance: Learn from the best artists in Ethiopia who have years of experience in both art and youth mentorship.
How it works
- Introduction and history: We start with a brief, engaging talk about the origins of graffiti culture and its evolution into modern street art.
- Safety and gear: Students get geared up in protective suits, masks, and gloves while learning the safety rules of the spray can.
- Technique demonstration: Our pro artists show the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths.
- Sketching the vision: Students work together to sketch their ideas on paper, planning out the colors and the overall composition of the mural.
- First layers: The fun begins! Students start filling in the large background areas and basic shapes on the wall or canvas.
- Adding detail: Using finer nozzles, the students learn how to add shadows, highlights, and outlines to make their art "pop."
- The tag: Every artist needs a signature. We show students how to create their own stylized tag to sign off their work.
- Group review: We finish with a gallery walk where the group discusses the meaning behind their creation and celebrates their hard work.

Frequently asked questions
Is the paint safe for school students to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with FFP2 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep their school uniforms clean. Our instructors start every session with a safety briefing on how to handle spray cans responsibly. We use high-quality, professional paints and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a space with proper airflow here in Adama.
Do students need to have any drawing skills?
No prior artistic experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and beginner-friendly. We guide the students through the entire process, from basic lines to more complex shading. Whether a student is a natural artist or has never held a brush, they will be able to create something they are proud of by the end of the session.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops in Adama typically last between 90 minutes and 3 hours. We can easily adapt the timing to fit your school's schedule, whether it's for a single double-period class or a full day of creative activities. We usually suggest at least 2 hours to give students enough time to practice and complete a full collaborative mural.
Can you come to our school or do we go to a studio?
We are extremely flexible! We can bring all the equipment to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space. Alternatively, we can arrange for the workshop at a legal street art location in Adama. We provide 'mobile walls' (plastic film or wooden boards) if you don't want the paint to be permanent on your school property.
Can the graffiti workshop follow a specific educational theme?
Absolutely. We often work with teachers to incorporate specific themes into the artwork. Whether you want to focus on Ethiopian history, environmental issues, or school values like unity and respect, our artists can design a session that aligns with your educational goals. Just let us know your theme when you book, and we will handle the rest.
What is the maximum group size for a school event?
Yes, we have a large team of professional artists and can handle groups ranging from a single class of 20 to an entire grade of over 100 students. For larger groups, we simply bring more instructors to ensure every student gets individual attention and remains safe while using the spray cans. Contact us for specific logistics regarding large group bookings.
Do we need to pay anything upfront to book?
For schools, we offer a very flexible 'pay after' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments to secure your date. We want the process to be as stress-free as possible for administrators. Once the workshop is finished and your students are happy with their masterpieces, we will process the payment. This ensures 100% satisfaction before any money changes hands.
