Frequently asked questions

I've never touched a spray can before. Is this workshop for me?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Eldoret workshops are designed for absolute beginners and curious travellers. Our professional artists will guide you through every stage, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering 'fats' and 'skinnies' (nozzles). We’ll show you the ropes in a relaxed, supportive environment so you can focus on having fun and being creative without any pressure.

What do I need to bring to the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything: high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and aprons to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or surfaces you'll be painting on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, some comfortable old shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, and your camera to capture the process!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces to ensure fresh air circulation. Our artists are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings before we start, ensuring everyone handles the equipment correctly. Plus, our spray paints are selected for high performance and safety standards.

How long does the graffiti experience take?

Typically, our tourist workshops in Eldoret last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, a demo of various techniques, and enough 'wall time' for you to complete your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a larger tour group, we can often adjust the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Can children participate in the workshop?

We believe in the power of street art for everyone! Generally, we recommend a minimum age of 6 or 7 years old so that kids have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles. For younger children, we can often arrange alternative creative activities. It’s a fantastic family bonding experience that creates memories (and photos) that last way longer than a standard souvenir!

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

While Eldoret enjoys great weather, we always have a plan B. If the weather doesn't play ball, we can often move the session to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with appropriate ventilation. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are incredibly reliable—we almost never cancel a session, ensuring your travel plans stay right on track.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is super easy! Simply fill out our online request form or use our Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate. Since we don't require upfront payments, you can reserve your spot with total peace of mind and pay after the workshop is complete. We recommend booking at least a couple of weeks in advance, especially during peak Kenyan travel seasons.
