Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

You don't need any prior art experience to enjoy our Garissa creative retreat. Our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners who haven't touched a spray can to seasoned creatives looking for a fresh medium. Our professional artists guide you through every step, ensuring you feel confident and capable. It’s all about the joy of creation and the therapeutic flow of the process, rather than perfection.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete creative experience. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a wide array of vibrant colours, high-quality canvases or practice walls, and all necessary protective gear like gloves, masks, and overalls. We also bring the expertise and the music to set the vibe! All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty.

How long does a typical creative retreat last?

A standard retreat workshop session in Garissa typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the art form, practice basic techniques, and complete a final masterpiece without feeling rushed. We can also adapt the schedule for full-day retreats or multi-day creative intensives if your group is looking for a deeper dive into the street art world.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all participants with professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no fumes are inhaled. We also provide gloves and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. Our instructors are trained in site safety and will manage the environment to ensure a safe, fun, and worry-free experience for every participant.

Can you host workshops in other cities in Kenya?

Absolutely! While we love hosting local retreats in Garissa, we also offer our unique graffiti experiences in other Kenyan cities like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru. Each location offers a different backdrop and local vibe, but the Graffitifun quality and professional artist guidance remain the same. Just let us know where you'd like your creative getaway to take place, and we'll handle the rest.

What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule?

We understand that plans can change. That's why we offer a flexible booking policy where no upfront payment is required—you pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are incredibly reliable and almost never have to cancel a session from our side.

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a brief introduction to the local and global history of street art and graffiti culture.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suits, gloves, and masks while learning the essential safety protocols.
Nozzle knowledge: Learn about different spray caps (fats, skinnies, and transversals) and how they change your line work.
First lines: Head to the practice wall to get a feel for the pressure of the can and master the 'can-control' basics.
Sketching the vision: Work with our professional artists to sketch out your design on the canvas or wall.
The fill-in: Bring your sketch to life by layering vibrant colours and learning blending techniques for smooth gradients.
The outline: Use a steady hand to add the final black or white outlines that make your artwork pop.
Shadows and highlights: Add those professional-grade final touches like 3D depth, shine, and "force fields" to your piece.
The reveal: Step back, enjoy the collective gallery, and take some epic group photos with your finished masterpieces!

Local culture

Garissa is a city bursting with life and untapped creative potential. Known for its warm hospitality and the scenic beauty of the Tana River, it provides a unique atmosphere for a creative retreat. While the city is a commercial centre for the region, there is a growing appreciation for contemporary art forms that can blend with local cultural aesthetics. Bringing a graffiti workshop here is about more than just paint—it's about introducing a modern, interactive medium to a vibrant community.

Fun fact: Garissa is often called the "Gateway to North Eastern Kenya," and we think it's the perfect gateway to your new artistic passion! 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible and depend entirely on your group size, the duration of the retreat, and the specific setup you require. We believe in transparency and providing value for your creative investment.

No upfront payment required—you only pay after you've had a fantastic time making art!
