Safety First: You'll get geared up in protective suits and masks while our pros walk you through the essential safety rules for using spray cans.

Filling In: This is where the colour happens! You'll learn how to fill large areas smoothly and how to blend colours for that classic 'gradient' look.

The Reveal: Step back and admire the collective mural. It’s the perfect time for a group photo in front of your finished Mombasa masterpiece! 📸

Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely not! Our Mombasa street art festival experience is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and ending with a piece you'll be proud of. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they join us, so you'll be in great company as you learn the ropes.

What equipment is provided during the festival workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that's a professional mobile wall or individual boards. All you need to bring is your energy, some comfortable shoes, and your creative spirit. We handle the messy bits so you can focus on the art.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority at every Graffitifun event. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including high-grade respiratory masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and that everyone follows proper technique to keep the experience fun and hazard-free for all ages.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our festival-style workshops are super flexible! Typically, a session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the group size and the complexity of the mural we're creating. For large public festivals in Mombasa, we often run drop-in sessions where you can spend 30 minutes learning a specific technique, or you can stick around for the full afternoon to see the entire wall come to life.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We love the energy of large groups! Whether it's a small crew of 10 or a massive festival crowd of hundreds, we have the staff and equipment to scale up. For very large events in Mombasa, we bring in backup artists and multiple spray stations to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on time with the cans. No one gets left out of the creative process when Graffitifun is in town!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we use protective gear, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' or something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Spray paint is permanent, and while our overalls offer great protection, it’s best to play it safe. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety and comfort while you're standing and moving around the mural walls. Leave your Sunday best at home and come ready to get colourful!

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

Mombasa's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered! If we're hosting an outdoor festival and it starts to rain, we usually have a backup plan involving gazebos or indoor spaces. Thanks to our local network, we can often pivot to a sheltered location so the creativity doesn't have to stop. Plus, our backup artist policy means your event is protected even if circumstances change.
