Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, water-based spray paints specifically designed for younger users whenever possible. Every student is provided with a high-quality face mask, disposable gloves, and a protective poncho to keep their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists are experienced in working with primary-aged children and maintain a supervised, controlled environment throughout the entire workshop session in Nairobi.

What should the students wear for the workshop?

We recommend that students wear old clothes or their PE kits, just in case! While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti is a hands-on art form and things can get a little messy when creativity takes over. We suggest wearing closed-toe shoes (no sandals) for better stability while painting. Our team handles all the heavy lifting and setup, so the kids just need to bring their energy!

Do the children need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics, like how to hold a spray can and how to control the pressure. Our instructors provide step-by-step guidance, ensuring that every child, regardless of their natural artistic ability, walks away with a piece of art they are proud of. It is all about building confidence and having a blast with new techniques.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots. If you have a very large group, we can rotate classes throughout the school day.

Where in the school does the workshop take place?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We bring the workshop to you! We can set up on your school playground, a paved courtyard, or even an indoor sports hall if the weather is being unpredictable (provided there is good ventilation). We use mobile plastic walls or high-quality canvases, so there is no permanent 'vandalism' involved—unless you specifically want us to paint a permanent mural on a school wall!

Do we need to pay in advance?

We believe in a 'play now, pay later' philosophy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. Once the workshop is finished and you are 100% satisfied with the experience, we will send over the invoice for payment. This makes the administrative process much easier for school bursars and parent-teacher associations who need to verify the service before releasing funds.

Can we create a permanent mural on a school wall?

Yes, we do! If you are looking to brighten up a dull school corridor or give your playground a makeover, we can incorporate a permanent mural into the day. Often, the students help design the mural, and our professional artists execute it, sometimes letting the kids fill in specific sections. It’s a fantastic way to create a lasting legacy and a sense of pride within the Nairobi school community.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary schoolers? It is more than just spray painting—it is about alternative education and building essential life skills. Here is why Nairobi schools love working with us:

Confidence boost: Nothing beats the feeling of seeing a large-scale piece of art you created yourself! 💪
Inclusion for all: Graffiti is a great leveller; often, students who struggle with traditional academics shine the brightest with a spray can in hand.
Team building: Our collaborative murals encourage kids to work together towards a massive, colourful goal. 🤝
Stress-free for teachers: We handle the setup, the teaching, and the cleanup. You just sit back and watch the magic happen!
Safety first: We provide all necessary PPE and use professional-grade, low-odour materials. 🏆
No financial risk: With our 'pay after' policy, your school's budget is always safe.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy introduction to the world of street art, showing the kids how graffiti evolved from simple tags to massive urban murals.
Safety first: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and ponchos. We explain the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
First lines: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn basic techniques like 'flaring', creating dots, and drawing steady straight lines on practice boards.
Mastering letters: We move on to the alphabet! Kids learn how to turn standard letters into 'bubble' or 'block' styles, adding that classic graffiti 3D effect.
The big design: Students sketch out their final idea on paper or directly onto their workspace, deciding on colour schemes and 'fill-ins'.
The main event: It is time to paint! Students use their new skills to create their personal masterpiece or contribute to a large-scale collaborative school piece.
The finishing touches: Our artists help the kids with 'outlining' and 'highlighting' to make their artwork pop and look truly professional.
Gallery walk: We finish with a celebration of everyone's work, taking photos and discussing the different styles created by the class.

Good to know

Duration: flexible sessions ranging from 90 minutes to 3 hours, or full-day rotations for the whole school.

Local culture

Nairobi is a city pulsing with visual energy, from the vibrant 'Matatu culture' with its world-famous bus graffiti to the stunning murals in areas like the GoDown Arts Centre. Our workshops tap into this local 'Nairobian' spirit, showing primary students that the art they see on the streets of CBD or Westlands is a skill they can master too. We aim to nurture the next generation of Kenyan creatives right here in the 'Green City in the Sun'. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nairobi’s Matatu art is considered one of the most unique forms of mobile street art in the world? Many of the artists who paint these 'Manyangas' started out just like our students—experimenting with styles and colours! 🚌🔥
