How it works

  1. Introduction & History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro, exploring the roots of graffiti and how it evolved into a respected global art form.
  2. Safety & Gear: Every student gets kitted out with professional masks, gloves, and aprons to ensure a clean and safe creative environment.
  3. Mastering the Can: Our artists demonstrate essential techniques, from "fading" and "outlining" to controlling pressure for different line widths.
  4. Concept Sketching: Students grab paper and markers to map out their ideas, focusing on typography, characters, or thematic symbols.
  5. First Strokes: Moving to the "wall" (or canvas), students start applying their base colours under the watchful eye of our pros.
  6. Adding Detail: This is where the magic happens! We teach how to add highlights, shadows, and that "pop" that makes street art stand out.
  7. Collaborative mural: If you've chosen a group project, students work together to blend their individual styles into one cohesive Garissa masterpiece.
  8. Grand Reveal & Photos: We finish with a showcase of the work, perfect for school newsletters and social media memories.

Frequently asked questions

Do the students need any previous art experience?

No prior art experience is needed! Our workshops are designed to take students from 'I can't draw a stick figure' to creating a vibrant piece of street art in just a few hours. Our professional artists provide step-by-step guidance, ensuring every student feels confident and capable throughout the session. We focus on the process and the fun, making art accessible to everyone in Garissa.

Is the workshop safe for school children?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, and use professional-grade spray paint. Our artists are experienced in managing large groups and ensure that all safety protocols are followed strictly. In Garissa, we typically host these sessions outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all participants.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for an introduction to the history of graffiti, safety briefings, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can adjust the timing to fit within your school’s specific timetable or event schedule.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! This includes a wide range of spray paint colours, caps, protective clothing (aprons/gloves/masks), and the surfaces to paint on (either a collective mural wall or individual canvases). Your school just needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic students. We handle the setup and the cleanup, making it a stress-free experience for teachers.

Can the workshop be integrated into our current curriculum?

Absolutely. We love tailoring our workshops to what your students are learning. Whether it's a social studies theme, a specific historical period, or a focus on environmental awareness, our artists can work with you to incorporate these themes into the graffiti designs. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce classroom learning through a hands-on, creative medium.

What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?

We are very flexible with group sizes. We can work with a single class of 20-30 students or manage larger groups split into rotating sessions throughout the day. For very large school events in Garissa, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure every student gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your numbers!
