Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?
Absolutely! Most of our visitors in Kano have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a little bit of expert coaching and a lot of Nigerian creativity! Every workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly and totally stress-free.
Is the graffiti workshop safe?
Safety is our top priority while we're having fun. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We only use professional spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are also trained to ensure everyone handles the equipment properly, making this a safe experience for tourists of all ages.
How long does the experience take?
A standard tourist session in Kano typically lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a tight travel itinerary, we can sometimes adjust the duration to fit your schedule—just let us know!
Where exactly do we paint?
For our tourist workshops in Kano, we usually work on high-quality canvases or large wooden boards. The best part? You get to take your artwork home with you! It makes for a unique, handmade souvenir of your time in Kano. If you're traveling light, we can discuss creating a shared mural on a wall if local permits allow at that time.
What should I wear for the session?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear, it's always better to be safe. Since Kano can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. Don't forget your sunglasses and a camera to capture the process of you becoming a street art legend.
How do I book and when do I pay?
Booking is easy and flexible. You don't need to pay anything upfront; you can pay after the workshop is completed! Simply reach out via our contact form or cost calculator, and we'll check our availability for your dates in Kano. We have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your holiday plans.
