Why choose us in Nakuru?
Why choose a Graffitfun workshop for your students? It’s more than just spraying paint on a wall—it’s a powerful educational tool that resonates with the youth of today. Here is why schools in Nakuru are choosing us:
- Boosts creative confidence: Graffiti is a 'low-stakes' art form where there are no mistakes, only 'cool effects'—perfect for students who feel intimidated by traditional art. ✨
- Encourages teamwork: Working on a large-scale mural requires communication and collaboration, teaching students how to achieve a common goal together. 🤝
- Professional mentorship: Our artists aren't just painters; they are mentors who share their journey, work ethic, and passion with the kids. 🎤
- Incredible results: The 'wow factor' of a finished graffiti piece gives students a massive sense of pride and accomplishment. 🏆
- Safe & organised: We handle all the logistics, from protective gear to site cleanup, leaving teachers free to enjoy the session.
- Zero financial risk: With our 'pay after the workshop' policy, your school budget is always protected. 💸
How it works
- Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to graffiti culture and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear correctly.
- Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their tags and designs, learning about letter flow and composition.
- First lines: Under the guidance of our pros, students move to the wall or panels to spray their first 'outlines' and get a feel for the pressure of the cans.
- Filling in the colour: This is where the magic happens! We teach techniques for smooth 'fills' and how to blend vibrant colours seamlessly.
- The art of the outline: We show the students how to make their work 'pop' by adding sharp shadows and bold outer lines.
- Adding the details: Students learn to use different 'caps' for fine lines, flares, and highlights that bring their characters or letters to life.
- Collaborative mural: The final stage involves bringing everyone's work together into a massive, cohesive masterpiece that represents the whole class.
- Gallery walk and photos: We finish with a celebratory walk-through where students explain their work, followed by a professional group photo with their art.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A standard school workshop in Nakuru usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. We can easily adapt the schedule to fit into your school’s double-period blocks or run a full-day 'art immersion' session for multiple classes. We’re all about flexibility, so just let us know your timetable requirements and we will make it work seamlessly without disrupting your school day.
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos for every student. We also use low-odour professional spray paint and ensure workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our artists are experienced in managing large groups of students safely, ensuring everyone has a brilliant time while staying completely protected from paint and fumes.
What do we need to provide for the workshop?
Students don't need to bring a thing! We provide everything: premium spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be large wooden panels, a designated school wall, or individual boards). We even bring the inspiration! Just make sure the students wear old clothes and shoes, as graffiti is a messy business and paint tends to find its way onto sneakers.
Can the workshop be linked to our current curriculum?
Yes! While we love free-hand creativity, we can easily theme the workshop around school values, environmental awareness, or specific curriculum subjects like history or literature. Graffiti is a fantastic way to make 'boring' subjects come alive. We can work with you beforehand to plan a mural that reflects your school’s identity or a specific message you want your students to engage with.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! While we usually paint outdoors in Nakuru's beautiful climate, we can set up under gazebos or move the session to a well-ventilated indoor space like a sports hall or large workshop room using water-based paint options. We always check the forecast and coordinate with you to ensure the creative flow continues regardless of the Kenyan weather.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
We recommend our workshops for students aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow safety instructions. We tailor our teaching style to suit different age groups, from primary school kids learning about basic shapes and colours to secondary school students tackling complex shading and social commentary through art.
How does the payment process work for schools?
We believe in transparency and flexibility. There is no upfront payment required to book your date. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and your students are buzzing with excitement. We accept various payment methods and will provide a full invoice for your school's accounts department. This keeps the process stress-free and built on a foundation of mutual trust.
