Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Typically, a primary school workshop in Mombasa lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and for every student to complete their individual masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a standard school morning or afternoon session to ensure it doesn't disrupt the rest of your academic timetable.

Is spray painting safe for primary-aged children?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, and use professional spray paint specifically designed for ease of use. Our artists are highly experienced in working with children and ensure a supervised, controlled environment at all times. We also ensure the workspace is well-ventilated, making the process perfectly safe for younger creators.

Do we need a specific wall at our school to do this?

Not at all! We are a fully mobile service and can bring the entire graffiti experience to your school grounds. Whether it's a playground, a sports field, or a large indoor hall, we set up temporary wooden boards or canvases. This keeps your school walls clean while giving the kids a large-scale surface to express their creativity outdoors in the fresh Mombasa air.

Can you handle large groups or multiple year levels?

Yes, we can definitely accommodate multiple classes! While we focus on keeping group sizes manageable to ensure every child gets personal guidance, we can run back-to-back sessions or bring extra artists to manage larger year groups. If you have a large primary school in Mombasa, just let us know your student numbers and we will create a custom rotation plan for you.

What happens to the artwork after the session?

Because we work with professional artists and high-end materials, the results are always impressive! Most schools choose to keep the final canvases to decorate their hallways or classrooms. It’s a fantastic way to brighten up the school environment and gives the students a lasting sense of pride and ownership over their creative work. It's much better than a standard drawing!

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend that students wear comfortable, older clothes that they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide protective aprons and gear, graffiti is an active, hands-on art form! In the Mombasa heat, light breathable clothing is best. We provide everything else including the paint, caps, boards, and safety equipment, so the school doesn't need to provide any supplies.

Are your workshops suitable for children with special educational needs?

Our workshops are highly inclusive and can be adapted for children with various needs. The tactile nature of spray painting is often very therapeutic and engaging for students who might struggle with traditional classroom settings. If you have specific requirements or need us to adjust our teaching style for certain pupils, just let us know in advance and our artists will ensure everyone feels included.
