Frequently asked questions

When is the best time of year to book a workshop in Abuja?

Abuja is generally nice throughout the year, but the best time for our outdoor graffiti workshops is during the dry season, from November to March. This way, the harmattan dust won't mess with your fresh paint, and we won't have to worry about sudden rain showers interrupting your creative flow while you work on your masterpiece.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from people who can't draw a straight line to seasoned artists. Our professional street artists will guide you through the basics of can control and lettering. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create something beautiful once you learn the right techniques from our team.

Is the spray paint safe for me to use?

We take your safety very seriously. We provide high-quality masks to prevent you from inhaling fumes, as well as gloves and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our instructors are also trained to manage the workshop environment safely, ensuring that everyone has a fun experience without any accidents or health concerns during the session.

How long does a typical tourist workshop last?

Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, some practice runs on cardboard or practice walls, and then the final creation of your main piece. If you have a specific schedule or want a longer session, just let us know and we can adjust the program.

Do I need to pay a deposit before the workshop?

No way! One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'pay after' policy. We trust our clients and are confident in our service. You only pay once the workshop is complete and you are satisfied with the experience. This means you can book with total peace of mind, knowing we are committed to delivering a great time.

Can you host the workshop at my specific location in Abuja?

Yes, we can definitely help with that! While many of our workshops happen at dedicated creative spots, we can also organize sessions at specific locations if they meet safety requirements. If you're staying at a hotel or have a specific spot in mind in areas like Garki or Maitama, tell us and we will see if we can make it happen.

What should I wear and bring to the session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on, even though we provide protective gear. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Abuja can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. We provide everything else, including premium spray cans, caps, masks, and all the surfaces you will be painting on.
