Do I need to be good at drawing to participate?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our university workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to those with a creative streak. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and safety. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It’s all about letting loose, having fun, and exploring a new form of self-expression with your peers in a relaxed environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We also use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our instructors are highly experienced in managing group workshops and will provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone picks up a can, ensuring a worry-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard university workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final collaborative or individual project. We can also adapt the duration to fit into a specific campus event schedule or a shorter society meeting. Just let us know your requirements, and we will tailor the session to suit your timeframe perfectly.

What materials do we need to provide?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything you need for a successful session. This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing (masks, gloves, and suits), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s a large shared canvas, individual boards, or a temporary wall setup. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

Can the workshop be held on our university campus?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your Nairobi campus, provided there is a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor hall. If you don't have a venue, don't worry—we can help source a cool, local spot in the city that fits the vibe. We’ve worked in various locations across Nairobi and are experts at setting up mobile "graffiti zones" that are safe, clean, and incredibly inspiring for participants.

Do we need to pay in advance?

One of our best features is that you don’t have to pay a penny upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel completely confident. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the booking process for student unions or society treasurers. Simply request a quote, book your date, and get ready for an epic day of street art.

Can you accommodate large student groups?

Yes, we can handle groups of almost any size! For larger university cohorts or student festivals, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and time with the spray cans. Whether it's a small art society group of 15 or a massive campus-wide event for 100+ students, we have the logistics and the professional team to make it a seamless and high-energy success. We never cancel because we have a deep roster of talent.

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next university bash in Nairobi? It’s more than just painting; it’s an experience that bridges the gap between urban culture and academic life. 🎨

Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to the world of graffiti and a quick rundown on how to use the gear safely.
The tag creator: Get your brains buzzing by sketching out your first "tag" or nickname on paper to plan your style.
Can control basics: Our pros show you how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and control the pressure for different line widths.
First lines: It’s time to spray! You'll head to the practice wall to get a feel for the paint, learning how to make dots, drips, and sharp lines.
Lettering & fills: Learn the secrets of "fill-ins" and how to make your letters pop with vibrant colours and gradients.
Outlining & shines: We’ll teach you the techniques for clean outlines and those "highlights" that give your art a professional 3D look.
The master project: Work together on a giant collective mural or finish your own individual canvas to take home to your dorm.
Final touches: Our artists help you add those fine details and "power outlines" that make the artwork truly stand out.
Photos & cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo session in front of your masterpiece and handle all the cleanup for you.

Local culture

Nairobi is often called the "Green City in the Sun," but it’s becoming equally famous for its "Canvas on the Streets." From the iconic matatu culture—where public minibuses are decked out in incredible hand-painted designs—to the rising murals in districts like Kilimani and the CBD, street art is in the DNA of the city. Taking part in a graffiti workshop here isn't just about painting; it's about connecting with a local movement that celebrates Kenyan identity and urban grit.

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 we work with grew up inspired by these vibrant designs roaming the streets!
