Is graffiti spray painting safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every pupil. Our spray paints are water-based or low-solvent where possible, and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists are also experts at managing large groups of children to ensure a controlled, safe, and fun environment for everyone.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop in Malindi usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping Year 1 to Year 6 students engaged without them losing focus. We start with a brief history and safety talk, move into technique practice, and spend the final hour creating a large-scale collaborative masterpiece or individual boards for the kids to keep.

What equipment does the school need to provide?

We handle everything so you don't have to! Graffitifun provides all the professional spray cans, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (whether that’s mobile wooden walls or individual canvases). We even bring the drop cloths to keep your school grounds tidy. All we need from your side is a dedicated outdoor space and a bunch of excited students ready to learn!

Do the students need to have prior artistic talent?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists use a 'step-by-step' method that allows even the most hesitant students to create something they are proud of. It’s not just about fine motor skills; it’s about confidence, expression, and exploring colours. We often find that students who struggle with traditional subjects really shine in this hands-on environment.

Where do the children actually paint?

We are very flexible! We can set up temporary wooden partitions on your school field, use large rolls of cellophane stretched between poles (cling-film graffiti), or provide individual canvases for each child to take home. If you want a permanent mural on a school wall, we can also facilitate a 'co-creation' project where the kids help paint a lasting piece of school history.

Can we link the workshop to our current curriculum theme?

Of course! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'The Ocean', 'School Values', or 'Malindi Wildlife'. Our artists can sketch out a professional outline based on your curriculum goals, and the students then work together to bring it to life with colour and texture. It is a fantastic way to reinforce classroom learning through a physical, creative medium.

How much does a primary school graffiti workshop cost?

Our pricing is bespoke because every school is different! Rates depend on the number of pupils, the amount of materials required, and the duration of the session. We are committed to transparency, so we offer a 'pay after the workshop' model with no upfront costs. Simply get in touch for a quick, no-obligation quote tailored to your school's specific needs.

Local culture

Malindi is a town defined by its vibrant colours—from the deep turquoise of the Indian Ocean to the bright fabrics found in the local markets. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school, you are tapping into that local creative energy! While Malindi is famous for its history and the Vasco da Gama Pillar, there is a growing modern art scene that we love to explore with the younger generation. We often find inspiration in the local marine life or the majestic Baobab trees found around Kilifi County.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the word 'graffiti' comes from the Italian word 'graffiato' (scratched)? In a coastal town like Malindi, art has always been a way to tell stories, and we are here to help your students tell theirs through modern spray cans! 🎨

Pricing

Because every school project in Malindi is unique—varying from small workshops to large-scale wall murals—we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. Our rates are flexible and depend entirely on your group size and the setup you choose. The best part? There is no upfront payment required; you only pay once the workshop is complete and everyone is happy!
