How it works

  1. Intro & safety briefing: Meet your local pro artist and get kitted out with your protective gear and mask.
  2. The basics of b-boying (with a can): Learn how to hold the spray can, control the pressure, and master the "nozzle shake."
  3. First lines and shapes: Practise basic strokes, dots, and squares on a practice surface to find your flow.
  4. Concept sketching: Grab a marker or a can and sketch out the skeleton of your masterpiece on the main wall or canvas.
  5. Filling and fading: Learn the secrets of "filling in" your piece and creating those iconic smooth colour gradients.
  6. The outline: Trace over your sketch with a sharp outline to make the design pop—this is where the magic happens!
  7. Adding details & highlights: Use 'skinny caps' to add fine details, stars, or 3D effects that give your art depth.
  8. The grand reveal: Step back, admire your handiwork, and take those all-important photos of your creation.
  9. Cleanup & wrap-up: We handle the mess while you enjoy the high of your newfound street art skills!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Accra workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours. We provide all the equipment, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Accra. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely and will demonstrate the correct way to handle spray cans to ensure a fun, accident-free environment for all participants.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide protective overalls, spray paint can sometimes find a way onto your footwear. Since Accra can be quite warm, light, breathable fabrics are best. Don't forget your sunglasses and some sunscreen if we are working in an open outdoor spot!

How long does a typical session last?

A standard public art workshop in Accra usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a thorough introduction, some practice rounds on plastic film or boards, and then the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience or have a large group, we can adjust the timing to suit your schedule.

What materials are included in the session?

We use high-quality spray paints specifically designed for street art, along with various 'caps' or nozzles to create different effects. We also provide protective gear, including masks and gloves. For public art projects, we often use large-scale canvases, boards, or designated wall spaces. If you're interested in digital prep, you can even use our Tag Creator on our website before you arrive!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Accra weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If the forecast looks rainy, we usually move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with professional ventilation. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we rarely have to cancel. We will always communicate with you in advance to ensure the workshop goes ahead smoothly, rain or shine.

Can we do the workshop at a location of our choice?

We love bringing street art to the wider community! If you have a specific wall in mind in Accra, we can help navigate the permissions or bring our own mobile graffiti walls to your location. For larger public art installations or brand activations, we work closely with local authorities and partners to ensure everything is legal, safe, and contributes positively to the city's vibrant visual landscape.
