Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be good at drawing to join the workshop?
Absolutely not! Our Mombasa graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and moving up to more complex techniques. We believe everyone has a hidden artist inside them, and our goal is to help you find yours while having a blast on your holiday.
Will I get paint on my clothes during the session?
We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to keep you safe and clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on—just in case! Since we are in the tropical climate of Mombasa, light, breathable clothing underneath the overalls is a smart move.
Is it safe to use spray cans in the Mombasa heat?
Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't inhaling fumes. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces to ensure a fresh breeze. Our instructors are experienced pros who will supervise the group throughout the entire session to ensure everyone follows safety protocols.
How long does a typical workshop last?
Most of our tourist workshops in Mombasa last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the history of street art, practice different nozzle techniques, and create a final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or need a shorter "taster" session before heading to the beach, just let us know and we can customise the timing!
Do I need to pay in advance to secure my booking?
In the Spirit of 'Hakuna Matata,' we make things easy! You don't need to pay anything upfront. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is finished. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your creative experience before any money changes hands. This ensures a stress-free booking process while you enjoy your vacation in Kenya.
What is the maximum group size for a session?
We love hosting groups! Whether you are a couple on a romantic getaway, a family looking for a unique activity, or a large tour group exploring the coast, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we simply bring in more of our professional backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and spray time.
What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?
Mombasa usually has great weather, but if a tropical shower rolls in, we have backup plans! We either move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or use our network of backup artists to reschedule your session to a time that suits your holiday itinerary. We are flexible and will make sure you don't miss out on the fun!
