How long does a typical after-school graffiti session last?

Our Thika after-school workshops usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is perfect for students to learn the fundamentals, sketch their ideas, and execute a final piece without losing focus. We find this duration keeps the energy high and the creativity flowing from start to finish. If you have specific scheduling needs for your school or youth group, we can always chat about customising the session length to fit your timetable.🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and aprons to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists trained in workshop safety, ensuring all spray cans are used correctly in well-ventilated outdoor areas. In Thika’s warm climate, we also make sure everyone stays hydrated. You can rest easy knowing the kids are in a supervised, secure, and professional environment while they explore their artistic side.🛡️

Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?

Absolutely not! While we teach the techniques used by street artists, our curriculum emphasises legal street art, respect for property, and the difference between vandalism and public art. We focus on graffiti as a tool for self-expression and community beautification. By giving students a legitimate, creative outlet and a dedicated space to paint, we actually help reduce the urge to spray unauthorised areas around Thika. It's all about positive creative energy!✨

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'work clothes'—items they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Although we provide protective aprons and sleeves, graffiti can be a messy business when you're having this much fun! Comfortable shoes are also a must since we’ll be standing and moving around our canvases or walls. Once the aprons are on, everyone is ready to dive into the colourful world of spray art without worry. paint-flecked trainers are the ultimate badge of honour! colour.👟

Do we need to provide any art supplies ourselves?

We take care of everything! Graffitifun provides all the necessary professional equipment, including a wide range of premium spray colours, specialized nozzles (caps) for different effects, sketching materials, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. Whether it's a large temporary wall or individual canvases for students to take home, we bring the entire art studio to your location in Thika. Just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll provide the tools to make it happen!pack.🎒

Do students need to have prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners who have never held a spray can to budding young Picassos. Our expert artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. Every student in Thika will leave the session feeling proud of what they’ve created, regardless of their prior artistic experience or skill level. Everyone is an artist here!🌟

How do we book a session and when do we pay?

Booking is easy and flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront. Simply get in touch with us to discuss your group size and preferred dates in Thika. We’ll provide you with a tailored quote. Once the details are confirmed, we handle the rest. We even have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Thika? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building confidence and finding a unique voice. Here is why our sessions are a total hit:

Boosts creative confidence: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only "happy accidents" that turn into art! 🚀
Team building: Working on a large-scale mural encourages students to communicate and collaborate.
Stress relief: Spraying is a physical, rhythmic activity that helps kids unwind after a long day of exams.
Expert guidance: Learn from real pros who teach techniques they actually use in the street art world. 🎤
Take-home art: Students often create individual canvases, giving them a tangible piece of pride to show off.
Zero risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, you can book with total peace of mind.

Step by step

Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a brief history of street art and a vital safety demonstration on how to use the equipment properly.
The art of the tag: Students learn the foundations of graffiti—creating their own unique 'tag' or artist signature on paper.
Can control basics: Our pros show the group how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and use different caps for thin or thick lines.
Sketching the concept: Before hitting the wall, students sketch out their big ideas, focusing on letter structure and character design.
Outlining & filling: Time to get messy! Students start by outlining their piece on the canvas and filling it in with bold, vibrant colours.
Fading & effects: We teach cool techniques like colour blending (fades), highlights, and 'force fields' to make the art pop.
The final outline: The most satisfying part! Students add a sharp final outline to make their artwork look professional and clean.
Group gallery & photos: We finish by admiring the collective work and taking plenty of photos of the new masterpieces.
Clean up & wrap: We tidy up the site and students get to take their creative energy (and often their canvases) home!

Local culture

Thika is a town with a burning heart for industry and education, and we think it's the perfect canvas for the next generation of Kenyan creatives. From the bustling streets near Mount Kenya University to the local schoolyards, there is an undeniable energy in the air. By introducing graffiti art here, we're tapping into the same vibrant spirit that makes Thika's local markets and neighborhoods so lively. Our workshops celebrate this local identity, encouraging students to draw inspiration from their surroundings—be it the iconic Chania Falls or the vibrant local flora.

Fun Fact: Did you know Thika is nicknamed the "Birmingham of Kenya" because of its industrial history? We love bringing modern, industrial art styles like graffiti back to its spiritual home! 🔥
