How it works

Warm welcome: Meet your local pro artist at our vibrant Tamale street art spot. We'll start with a quick intro to the history of graffiti.
Gear up: Don your protective suit, mask, and gloves. We make sure you look the part and stay clean before the paint starts flying!
Master the grip: Learn the 'can control' basics. Your instructor will show you how to handle the pressure and distance to get the perfect line.
Sketching your vision: Grab a marker or a light spray and outline your design. Don't worry, we'll help you get the proportions just right.
Fill it in: This is the best part! Learn 'filling' techniques to add vibrant colours to your piece without drips or streaks.
The sharp edge: Use 'outlining' to make your design pop. This is where your graffiti starts looking like a professional piece of street art.
Custom details: Add highlights, shadows, and those cool 'extras' like bubbles or drips that give your art its unique personality.
Signature move: Every artist needs a tag. Finalise your work by adding your personal signature to the corner of the masterpiece.
Memories captured: We'll strike a pose in front of your finished wall for some epic photos to share with friends and family back home!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Tamale workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. Whether you're a seasoned artist or someone who can barely draw a stick figure, we ensure you have a blast and leave with new skills.

Is it safe and will I get messy?

Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes paint-free. Since we use professional-grade spray paint, we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated creative zones in Tamale. Our instructors will give you a full safety briefing before we start, ensuring a fun, worry-free environment for everyone involved.

How long does the workshop last?

A typical tourist workshop in Tamale lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, practicing your 'tag' on a practice wall, and finally completing your full-scale graffiti piece. We never rush the creative process, ensuring you have enough time to perfect your details and take plenty of photos with your finished artwork!

What is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all premium spray paint cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the canvas or wall space for your creation. We also bring caps (nozzles) for different line thicknesses. You just need to bring your enthusiasm, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your camera to capture the memories.

Can I just show up or do I need to book?

Since we are frequently out on-site at various vibrant locations across Tamale, we work exclusively by appointment. This ensures we have the right amount of paint and enough artists to give your group the attention it deserves. Simply fill out our contact form to check availability for your travel dates, and we'll get back to you quickly to lock it in!

Are the workshops suitable for large tour groups?

We love hosting groups! While we can accommodate solo travellers in join-in sessions when available, we specialise in private groups. Whether you're a couple on holiday, a family exploring Northern Ghana, or a larger tour group, we can scale the experience to suit your needs. For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on coaching.

How do I pay for the workshop?

At Graffitifun, we believe in flexibility. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. We want you to feel confident in your choice, so you can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. It's all part of our commitment to making your Tamale adventure as stress-free and fun as possible!
