Why choose us in Mombasa?
Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students? It’s more than just painting walls—it’s about building character and discovering new talents. Here’s why schools in Mombasa love working with us:
- Total Engagement: Even the students who usually sit at the back of the class get stuck in—graffiti is a massive "hook" for teenagers! 🔥
- Safe & Professional: We use top-tier safety gear and professional artists who know exactly how to manage a school environment.
- Zero Risk Booking: With our backup artist pool and "pay after the workshop" policy, your event is in safe hands.
- Curriculum Links: Our sessions can be tailored to support Art, Design, and even lessons on social responsibility and community.

How it works
- Intro & History: We start with a high-energy talk about graffiti culture, from New York roots to the vibrant street art seen in Kenya today.
- Safety First: Students suit up in protective gear and learn the essential 'do's and don'ts' of handling professional spray cans.
- Mastering the Can: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching how to create thin lines, thick fills, and smooth gradients.
- Sketching Your Vision: Before hitting the wall, students plan their tags or pieces on paper, focusing on letter structure and flow.
- Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! Students start applying their designs to the workspace, learning how to layer colours.
- Defining the Detail: We teach techniques like 'cutting' and adding highlights to make the artwork pop and look three-dimensional.
- The Big Reveal: We finish with a group gallery walk, where students present their work and celebrate each other's creative achievements.

Frequently asked questions
Is the spray paint safe for secondary school students?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP3 masks to prevent fume inhalation, as well as protective gloves and overalls to keep school uniforms clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated spaces. Additionally, our professional artists are experienced in managing large groups of teenagers, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing themselves.
Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?
Absolutely not! We focus on the 'art' in street art. Our instructors begin every session with a talk about the history of graffiti and the crucial difference between illegal vandalism and commissioned street art. We teach students about respecting public property and how they can use their creative skills for positive community impact, legal mural projects, and personal artistic growth within the boundaries of the law.
What happens if we need to cancel or the artist is sick?
We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tight. That is why we offer a 'no cure, no pay' mentality and don't require upfront payments. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Plus, we have a large pool of backup artists available across Kenya, so even if an instructor falls ill, your scheduled school event will almost certainly go ahead as planned.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. However, we are totally flexible! If you have a specific double-period or a full 'Creative Arts Day' in mind, we can adapt the timing and depth of the session to fit your school's unique timetable.
What materials do we need to provide?
We bring everything needed for a world-class street art experience! This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the 'canvas'—whether that’s large wooden boards, cling-film walls, or even a permanent school wall if you've given us the green light. You just need to provide the space and the enthusiastic students!
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire year group of 100+, we can make it work. For larger groups, we simply bring in more professional artists to ensure every student gets the hands-on guidance they need. We maintain a healthy student-to-artist ratio so that the experience remains high-quality, interactive, and safe for everyone involved. Request a quote for your specific numbers!
