Do I need to be artistic to join the workshop at a festival?

Absolutely! Our workshops at music festivals are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists guide you through every spray, teaching you techniques like 'fading' and 'outlining'. By the time the next headliner takes the stage, you'll have created a piece of art you're actually proud of. It's all about having a go and enjoying the rhythm of the spray can.

Is the graffiti workshop safe and what about my clothes?

Safety is our top priority while you're having fun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep the paint on the canvas and off your festival outfit. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor settings. Our artists are also trained in site safety, ensuring the workshop area remains a secure and creative zone for all festival-goers in Thika.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

We're flexible! While we recommend 1.5 to 2 hours for a full 'masterpiece' experience, we know festivals are busy. We offer 'drop-in' style sessions where you can contribute to a massive collective mural for 15 minutes, or dedicated slots for groups who want a deeper dive into street art culture. We work with the festival schedule so you don't miss your favourite Kenyan artists on stage.

What materials are included in the festival package?

We bring everything! Your booking includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (overalls, masks, gloves), canvases or large-scale boards, and our expert instructors. We even handle the set-up and the clean-up. All you need to bring is your festival energy and a bit of creativity. We make it completely hassle-free for festival organisers and attendees alike.

What happens if it rains during the music festival?

Thika's weather is usually great, but if it pours, we've got you covered. We can set up under high-quality stretch tents or gazebos to keep the artists and the art dry. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup plans and flexible rescheduling options. Since we don't require upfront payment, you can book with peace of mind knowing we'll find the best solution for the day.

Can you provide a collaborative mural for the whole festival?

We sure do! Beyond individual canvases, we love creating 'Live Art' walls where festival attendees can contribute to one giant, evolving piece of street art throughout the event. It’s a fantastic way to build a sense of community and leaves the festival with a stunning visual record of the weekend. It’s one of our most popular options for large events in Kenya.

Local culture

Thika, known as the 'Flame Tree Town', has a gritty, industrial charm that serves as the perfect backdrop for urban street art. As the town evolves into a hub for culture and education, the local festival scene is exploding. Adding a graffiti workshop here isn't just about paint; it's about connecting with the youthful, energetic spirit that flows from the local universities and the bustling markets.

Fun Fact: Did you know Thika was historically a major centre for the sisal industry? Today, that hardworking heritage is being reimagined by a new generation of creators who see every plain wall as an opportunity for expression. Whether the festival is near the stunning Chania Falls or closer to the town centre, we bring that authentic street art soul directly to the crowd.

Pricing

Because every music festival is unique—ranging from intimate boutique events to massive multi-day parties—our pricing is flexible. Prices depend on group size, duration, and the type of setup you're after (individual canvases vs. a giant collaborative mural).
