Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
Our school workshops in Eldoret typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This provides the perfect balance of theory, sketching time, and actual spray painting. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school’s double-period slots or make it a full-day 'art immersion' event. Regardless of the duration, we ensure every student walks away with a finished piece they can be proud of.
Is the spray paint safe for students to use?
Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists are trained to supervise large groups, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly and that the environment remains clean and safe for all participants.
Does this workshop encourage illegal graffiti or vandalism?
Absolutely not! We focus heavily on the 'Street Art' vs 'Vandalism' distinction. We teach students that graffiti is a powerful form of contemporary art that requires discipline, planning, and respect for public property. By providing a legal outlet for their creativity, we actually help reduce the likelihood of illegal tagging. We promote the idea of community beautification and artistic integrity.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
We recommend a minimum age of 8 or 9 years old (upper primary school). This is mainly because the spray cans require a certain level of finger strength and coordination to operate effectively. However, for younger children, we can adapt the workshop to include more stencil work and paint markers, ensuring everyone in the Eldoret school community can participate in the creative fun!
What materials does the school need to provide?
We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (overalls, masks, gloves), canvases or large boards, and all sketching materials. Your school just needs to provide an outdoor space (like a sports field or courtyard) and, of course, the enthusiastic students! We handle the set-up and the clean-up, leaving the site exactly as we found it.
Do students need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all. Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who struggle to draw a stick figure to advanced art students. Our instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We use stencils and easy-to-follow techniques so that every student achieves a professional-looking result. It’s all about boosting confidence and discovering new ways to express oneself through colour and shape.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Eldoret weather can be unpredictable, but we are prepared! If a light drizzle starts, we can often work under gazebos or awnings. If heavy rain is forecast, we can move the sketching and theory portion indoors and wait for a break in the weather, or we can reschedule the session to a better day at no extra cost. We always keep a close eye on the clouds!
