Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any drawing skills or previous experience?

You absolutely don't need any prior art experience! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional graffiti artists in Accra will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our tourist guests have never touched a spray can before, and they are always amazed at the incredible masterpieces they create by the end of the session. It's all about having fun and expressing yourself!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge variety of vibrant colours, protective gloves, and masks. Depending on the workshop package, you'll be painting on high-quality canvases that you can take home or a dedicated legal graffiti wall. We suggest wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on, just in case!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard graffiti workshop for tourists in Accra typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, an introduction to the history of street art, practicing basic techniques, and then dive into creating your main project. We move at a pace that keeps things exciting while ensuring you feel confident with the spray can before we start the big pieces.

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas. Our artists are trained professionals who provide clear instructions on how to use all equipment safely. We ensure a controlled environment where you can focus entirely on your creativity without any worries. It’s a safe, fun, and colourful environment for everyone involved!

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are very flexible with group sizes! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a unique activity, a couple on holiday, or a large tour group exploring Ghana, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your group size when you request a quote, and we’ll tailor the session for you.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Accra is a tropical city, so we always have a plan! Many of our workshop locations are covered or have indoor alternatives nearby. If the weather looks truly impossible, we can usually reschedule your session or move to a fully sheltered spot. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are very reliable and rarely have to cancel. We do our best to make sure your creative plans stay on track!

Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?

Absolutely! If you choose a canvas-based workshop, you can take your artwork with you as a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your time in Accra. If we are painting on a large public wall, the memories (and the photos!) are yours to keep forever. Many tourists find that their canvas fits perfectly in a suitcase once the paint is dry, making it the most unique memento of their Ghanaian adventure.
