- Colour & filling: We move on to the fun part—adding vibrant colours! Our artists teach blending and fading techniques to make the art pop.
- Outlining & highlights: Precision is key. We show the students how to add sharp outlines and 'shining' highlights to give their work a 3D effect.

Frequently asked questions
Is the paint safe for school students to use?
Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep students safe and their uniforms clean. We only use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large open halls to ensure a healthy environment for every participant.
What age groups are these graffiti workshops suitable for?
Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone from primary school pupils to university students. We tailor our teaching style and the complexity of the art based on the age group. For younger children, we focus more on shapes and colour mixing, while older students can dive into complex layering, 'wildstyle' lettering, and the social history of urban art movements. It's a versatile medium that engages every age.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Don't worry about the British weather or a bit of Arusha rain! If we're working outdoors and the weather turns, we usually have a backup plan. We can move the session under a large canopy or into a well-ventilated school gym or hall using floor protections. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel—we make sure the creativity keeps flowing regardless of the elements.
Do we need to pay in advance to book a school session?
We like to keep things flexible and stress-free for schools. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. After the workshop is complete and your students have finished their masterpieces, we'll send over the invoice. You simply pay after the event. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. It's all about trust and great art!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school workshop typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching, technique practice, and the final creation. However, we can easily adapt the schedule to fit into your school's double-period blocks or run it as a full-day 'Art Intensive' event. Let us know your timetable requirements and we will build the programme around them.
Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to our school?
We bring the art gallery to you! Our artists travel to your school location in Arusha or the surrounding areas. We can set up on your school playground, sports field, or even inside a large, airy hall. We provide all the mobile 'graffiti walls' (cellograph or wooden panels), so we don't need to paint on your actual school buildings—unless, of course, you want us to create a permanent mural!
Can we link the workshop to a specific curriculum theme?
Definitely! We love merging art with education. If your students are studying a specific theme—like environmental conservation, Tanzanian history, or school values—we can centre the workshop around that. Students can work together on a large collaborative mural that reflects their learning, making it a powerful visual tool for the school community. Just let us know your theme when booking your quote.
