How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
For school workshops in Gondar, we typically recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides enough time for a solid introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, and plenty of hands-on spray painting. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific period schedule or double-block requirements without losing the creative momentum.
Is the paint safe for students to use?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and overalls for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly. We also use low-odor paints whenever possible to ensure a comfortable and safe breathing environment for the youth.
Do we need to travel to a studio, or can you come to our school?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises in Gondar, perhaps on a playground or an outdoor sports court. If you'd prefer an off-site experience, we can arrange a professional studio space. We bring all the necessary boards, canvases, and protective floor coverings to ensure your school grounds remain spotless and paint-free.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for various age groups! We generally recommend the activity for students aged 10 and up, as they have the motor skills to handle the spray cans effectively. However, we can adapt the curriculum for younger children using water-based markers or simplified stencils, making it a perfect fit for both primary and secondary schools.
Do the students need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our Gondar-based artists start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create simple lines. We guide every student through the process so that by the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw' will have created a piece of art they are proud of.
When do we need to pay for the workshop?
We believe in transparency and trust. For school bookings in Gondar, we do not require any upfront payment. You can book your date and confirm the session, and the payment is only processed after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any funds are transferred.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Rain or shine, the creativity doesn't stop! If we are planning an outdoor session and the weather in Gondar turns sour, we can easily move the workshop indoors. We use specialized floor coverings and ventilation techniques to ensure the indoor space stays clean and safe. Our backup artists also ensure that we never cancel a session due to staff illness.
