Frequently asked questions
I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?
Absolutely! Most of our participants in Kinshasa have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle, manage pressure, and create clean lines. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. We provide a supportive, fun environment where there are no mistakes, only creative expressions.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones in Kinshasa. Our instructors are experienced professionals who oversee every step of the process to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time while learning the craft.
What is the minimum age for the workshop?
For our public art programs in Kinshasa, we typically recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This ensures that the participants have the physical strength to operate the spray cans and can follow safety instructions. We also offer specialised kids' parties with tailored techniques for younger creators. It’s a fantastic way for children and teenagers to develop their motor skills and artistic confidence.
What happens if I need to cancel my booking?
We understand that plans in a busy city like Kinshasa can change. One of our biggest advantages is that we don't require upfront payments – you pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible. We even have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead even if there’s an unexpected scheduling conflict.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard public art workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural. If you have a specific timeframe in mind for a festival or event, we can easily adapt the duration to suit your schedule.
What do I need to bring with me?
Everything you need is included in the price! We provide all the spray cans in a wide range of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a wall or a mobile board). We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, as you'll be moving around quite a bit while painting your masterpiece.
