Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Absolutely not! Most of our guests in Kumasi have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create in just a couple of hours with the right guidance. It's all about having fun and being creative in a relaxed environment.

What is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a fantastic street art experience. This includes premium spray paints in a wide range of vibrant colours, high-quality caps for different effects, protective gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. The only thing you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some old clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our professional artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session, teaching you how to use the equipment correctly and look out for your fellow creators.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard tourist workshop in Kumasi typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a safety briefing, some practice runs with the cans, and the creation of your final artwork. We don't like to rush the creative process, so we ensure there's plenty of time for you to perfect your piece and snap some great photos for your travel blog!

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are extremely flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a private session, a couple on holiday, or a large tour group exploring the Ashanti region, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we often bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your group size when you request a quote, and we will handle the rest.

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

Usually, the weather in Kumasi is great for outdoor painting. However, if it rains, we have plenty of backup plans! We work with several partner venues that offer covered outdoor spaces or well-ventilated indoor areas. Because we have local backup artists and flexible locations, your workshop is very unlikely to be cancelled. We’ll make sure the creative flow continues, rain or shine!

Do I need to pay in advance to secure my spot?

We believe in a stress-free experience for our visitors. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you're happy with the results. We want you to feel 100% confident in our service. We accept various payment methods for your convenience—simply talk to our team when booking to find the best option for your travel plans.
