Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our workshops in Nyeri are specially designed for total beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through every single step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading. You don't need any prior drawing skills—just a bit of enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive under our expert guidance!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Nyeri. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure everyone follows proper safety protocols while having a blast creating their masterpieces.

What should I wear to my graffiti session in Nyeri?

You should wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide protective overalls, it's best to stick to older clothes and closed-toe shoes. Since Nyeri can have varied weather, dressing in layers is always a smart idea so you stay comfortable throughout the creative process.

How long does the workshop experience take?

A standard tourist graffiti workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your own artwork. We ensure the pace is lively and engaging, so you're never bored and have plenty of time to perfect your tags!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colours, protective gear, caps (the nozzles for the cans), and the surfaces we'll be painting on. You just need to bring yourself and your creative energy. We can even provide canvases if you'd like to take your artwork home as a unique Kenyan souvenir.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Nyeri is beautiful, but if the weather doesn't play ball, we have backup plans! We usually work in covered outdoor areas or have indoor spaces available where we can safely use low-odour paints. Additionally, we have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a cancellation. Your creative experience is guaranteed!

Can you host the workshop at my hotel or lodge?

Yes, we offer plenty of flexibility for tourist groups. If you're staying at a specific lodge or hotel in the Nyeri area with an appropriate outdoor space, we can often bring the workshop to you. Alternatively, we host sessions at our inspiring local spots that give you a real taste of the Nyeri Highlands atmosphere.

Local culture

Nyeri is often seen as the gateway to the Highlands, but beneath its tranquil surface lies a growing appreciation for modern creative expression. While traditional Kikuyu crafts are legendary here, the youth culture is increasingly embracing the bold colours and storytelling power of graffiti. When you join our Nyeri graffiti experience, you aren't just painting; you're connecting with the modern pulse of Kenya. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nyeri is the final resting place of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouts? Much like the Scouts' motto, our graffiti artists believe in "Always Being Prepared"—to turn any boring wall into a masterpiece! ✨

Nyeri's crisp mountain air and lush greenery provide a stunning backdrop for our sessions, making the vibrant spray paint colours pop even more. It’s a fantastic way to spend an afternoon before heading back to your lodge for an evening sundowner.
