Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our retreat workshops in Thika are designed for everyone, from CEOs who haven't picked up a brush since primary school to seasoned creatives. Our expert artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving up to complex shading. We focus on the process and the 'flow' state, ensuring everyone leaves with a masterpiece they are proud of and a new-found sense of confidence.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the retreat?

Personal safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We typically host our Thika retreats in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large industrial halls to ensure plenty of fresh air. Our professional instructors are also trained to manage group dynamics safely, ensuring a secure and supportive environment for all participants throughout the creative process.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a large-scale collaborative mural. However, we can also offer full-day 'deep-dive' sessions or multi-day retreats if you want to combine graffiti with other team-building activities or strategic planning sessions in the beautiful Thika surroundings.

Where in Thika do the workshops take place?

We can host our workshops almost anywhere in Thika! Whether you have a specific venue in mind—like a hotel garden or a warehouse—or need us to find a legal graffiti wall, we are flexible. If it rains, we have backup plans involving indoor-safe paints or sheltered locations. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what.

What should we wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on. While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, it’s best to be practical. Since Thika can be quite warm, light fabrics are ideal. We provide everything else: the paint, the boards, the caps, and the inspiration! Just bring your energy and a willingness to try something new.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Of course! While we often work on large collective murals to foster teamwork, we can certainly incorporate individual canvases that your team members can take home or hang in the office. This serves as a lasting memento of your Thika retreat. Mention this during your booking, and we will ensure we have the right materials ready for your specific goals.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in Thika?

Forget the boring trust falls and PowerPoint presentations. A graffiti retreat is about raw expression, collaboration, and having a blast while you're at it. Here’s why it’s the perfect fit for your next group outing:

Pure creative freedom: Break away from the 'right way' of doing things and explore a medium where there are no mistakes, only 'style.' 🚀
Natural team bonding: Creating a massive mural requires communication and collaboration that feels organic, not forced.
Mental reset: The rhythmic nature of spray painting is surprisingly meditative, helping to clear 'brain fog' and reduce stress. 🧘‍♂️
Professional guidance: Our Thika team consists of world-class artists who make sure everyone feels like a pro from the first spray.
Instinctive innovation: Street art encourages fast thinking and adaptivity—skills that are essential in any professional environment.

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro to the world of street art and the local Thika creative scene.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suits and masks while our pros explain how to use the equipment safely.
The technique session: Learn the basics of 'can control,' from creating sharp thin lines to smooth fills and gradients.
The brainstorming: Work with our artists to sketch out a theme that reflects your group’s goals or your retreat's vision.
First strokes: Head to the wall or canvas to start the 'blocking' process, getting the large shapes down under expert guidance.
The flow state: Dive deep into the painting process. This is the heart of the retreat where the music starts and the creativity flows.
Adding detail: Our artists help you add those professional 'touches'—highlights, shadows, and clean outlines to make the art pop.
The big reveal: Step back as a group to admire the finished mural and take those all-important team photos.
Wrap-up & reflection: A final session to discuss the experience and how the lessons of the day apply to your daily life or work.

Local culture

Street art soul in the heart of Kiambu

Thika is a town of incredible energy, known for its industrial heritage and its vibrant, bustling streets. But beyond the famous pineapple plantations and the roar of the factories, there is a pulse of raw, urban creativity waiting to be tapped. Street art in Kenya is evolving fast, and Thika is no exception, with local talent increasingly using walls to tell stories of community and progress. Our retreat workshops tap into this local spirit, offering a raw and authentic experience that feels miles away from a sterile office environment.

Fun Fact: Did you know Thika is often called the "Birmingham of Kenya" due to its industrial nature? It provides the perfect gritty, urban backdrop for a graffiti experience that feels truly authentic! 🔥

While you're here, we encourage you to look around at the local murals and "matatu" art—the moving galleries of Kenya—which inspire much of the work we do. Our retreat isn't just a class; it's an immersion into Kenya's modern urban culture.
