Pas cu pas

  1. Introduction & Safety: Meet your artist and get fitted with high-quality masks and gloves. We'll chat about the plan and ensure everyone feels comfortable.
  2. The Basics of the Can: Learn how to hold a spray can, how to control pressure, and how to swap 'caps' for different line widths and effects.
  3. Line Work & Shapes: Start your practice on a test surface. You'll learn how to draw clean lines, circles, and basic shapes—the building blocks of any great tag.
  4. Sketching Your Idea: Time to plan! Use chalk or light spray paint to sketch out your design or lettering on your main canvas.
  5. Filling & Fading: Learn the 'fill-in' technique to add vibrant colour to your piece and experiment with gradients to create a cool 3D effect.
  6. Outlining: This is where the magic happens. Use a contrasting colour to outline your shapes, making your graffiti pop off the background.
  7. The Final Flourish: Add highlights, 'highlights' (light reflections), and little details that make your artwork unique.
  8. The Big Reveal & Photos: Step back and admire your work. We'll take group photos so you can show off your skills to the world!

Zanzibar City's Artistic Pulse

While Zanzibar City may not be widely known for a prominent public graffiti scene in the same way some larger global cities are, there is an undeniable artistic energy present. You might encounter various forms of public art, from colourful murals depicting local life and history on shop fronts to expressive designs adorning dhows in the harbour. The creative spirit here often manifests through traditional crafts, intricate carvings, and the vibrant textiles found in the markets.

Our workshops tap into this inherent creativity, providing a contemporary outlet for expression that complements the island's rich artistic heritage. It is about bringing modern street art techniques into a setting brimming with historical and cultural narratives, allowing participants to contribute to the visual dialogue of Zanzibar in a respectful and engaging way.
