How it works

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy kick-off where our pros share the history of street art and show off some jaw-dropping examples.
Design & sketching: Everyone grabs a marker and paper to brainstorm their 'tag' or a unique character, getting the creative juices flowing.
Safety first: We suit up! Every participant gets their mask, gloves, and overalls while learning how to handle the cans responsibly.
Can control basics: Before hitting the wall, we practice the 'nozzle dance'—learning how to control pressure, distance, and line thickness.
Outlining the masterpiece: It’s time to go big! Participants transfer their sketches onto the practice boards or canvases using light spray strokes.
Filling & fading: This is where the magic happens as we add vibrant colours, blends, and those iconic graffiti gradients.
The finishing touches: We add sharp outlines, highlights, and 3D effects to make the artwork pop off the surface.
The grand reveal: We step back, admire the collective work, and take some epic group photos with the finished pieces!

Frequently asked questions

What age group is the graffiti summer camp suitable for?

Our workshop is the perfect fit for children and teenagers aged 8 to 18. We tailor the complexity of the art and the safety instructions to match the age group. While the younger kids focus on fun shapes and bright colours, the older teens often dive into more complex lettering styles and shading techniques. We ensure every participant feels confident and challenged just the right amount!

Is it safe for children to use spray cans?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone clean and safe. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, teaching proper spray can technique to ensure a fun, hazard-free environment. We use low-odour paints whenever possible, making the experience comfortable for all participants during the Kisumu heat.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our Kisumu summer camp is designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never held a can to aspiring young artists. Our pros break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. By the end of the session, even those who thought they weren't 'artistic' are usually amazed by the professional-looking masterpiece they've managed to create.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we do provide protective overalls, graffiti art can sometimes be a bit messy! Since Kisumu can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are a plus. We provide all the professional gear, including masks and gloves, so you don't need to bring any specialized equipment.

Where in Kisumu do these workshops take place?

We are very flexible with locations! We can host the summer camp at various creative hubs in Kisumu, or if you have a specific venue, school, or community centre with a suitable outdoor space, we can come to you. As long as there is good ventilation and a wall or boards to paint on, we can transform almost any spot into a vibrant street art studio.

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

Rain rarely stops the fun! If the weather takes a turn, we usually move to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with high-quality ventilation. We always have a backup plan ready to ensure the creative energy keeps flowing. Plus, with our reliable team of backup artists, you never have to worry about a session being cancelled last minute.

Can the participants take their artwork home?

The best part is that everyone gets to take home their own individual canvas! While we often work on a large communal mural to teach teamwork and scale, each participant also creates a personal piece of art. It’s a fantastic souvenir of their time at the Kisumu summer camp and a great way to show off their new skills to family and friends.
