Frequently asked questions
Do I need any prior art experience to join?
Absolutely not! Our Nakuru workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from basic nozzle control to advanced shading techniques. You will be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours with the right mentorship and high-quality paint.
Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?
Your safety is our priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor setting. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a worry-free and fun environment for all participants. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.
How long does the graffiti session last?
Standard tourist workshops in Nakuru typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the introductory talk, the practice session on plastic foil or boards, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We find this is the perfect amount of time to learn the craft and get your creative juices flowing without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time to explore Lake Nakuru afterwards!
What materials are included in the workshop?
Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the 'canvas' surface we'll be painting on. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some water to stay hydrated in the Kenyan sun. We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Nakuru's weather is generally great, but if we encounter a heavy tropical downpour, we have several options. We can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or, if available, an indoor ventilated space. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can reschedule your session to a better time or provide a full refund. We always keep a close eye on the clouds!
Are there minimum or maximum group sizes?
We are very flexible! While we love hosting groups of 5 to 20 people to keep the energy high, we can also cater to private couples' sessions or larger tour groups. If you have a very large group, we simply bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and spray time. Just let us know your numbers when booking.
Can I take my graffiti artwork home with me?
Yes! One of the best things about our tourist workshops is that you can take your work home. We often use high-quality canvases or boards for the final piece, which can be packed into a suitcase once dry. It makes for the most unique, self-made souvenir of your time in Kenya—much better than a generic shop-bought trinket!
