Is the paint safe for school students to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep their uniforms clean. Our professional artists are trained in workshop safety and use low-odour spray paint specifically designed for ease of use. Every session begins with a comprehensive safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly while having a blast.
Can you host the workshop directly at our school?
Absolutely! We are completely mobile and love bringing the art studio to your campus. Whether you have a large playground, a sports field, or a well-ventilated indoor space, we can set up our professional boards and protective sheeting. Alternatively, we can arrange a session at a local creative hub in Goma if you'd prefer an off-site excursion to get the kids out of the classroom.
What is the minimum age for participants?
We usually recommend our school workshops for students aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans effectively. For younger primary students, we offer modified sessions focusing more on street art stencils and marker techniques, ensuring that every age group gets a rewarding and age-appropriate creative experience.
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for the introductory history talk, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of the final large-scale masterpiece. We are very flexible, though; if you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can condense or extend the session to fit your schedule perfectly.
Do the students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We often find that students who don't consider themselves 'traditionally artistic' thrive in graffiti workshops because the medium is so physical and forgiving. It’s all about expression, confidence, and having a great time together.
How does the payment process work for schools?
We believe in transparency and trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Payment is only settled after the workshop has been successfully completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This 'pay-after' policy ensures that schools can book with total peace of mind, knowing we are committed to delivering an exceptional educational event.
