Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our Tokyo participants have never touched a spray can before. Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the absolute basics of nozzle control and safety, ensuring you feel confident before you start your masterpiece. Our professional artists guide you every step of the way, making the learning curve fun and approachable for everyone.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the perfect graffiti experience in Tokyo. This includes high-quality spray cans in various colors, protective gloves, masks, and coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our instructors are professional artists who emphasize proper technique to ensure a safe environment. We also conduct our workshops in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces across Tokyo to ensure maximum comfort and safety for your group.

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Tokyo typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a full project. If you have specific time constraints for your event, we can often adjust the schedule to fit your needs without compromising the quality of the experience.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

Our workshops are flexible and can accommodate various group sizes. Whether you are a small team of 10 or a large corporate group of 100+, we have the staff and resources to handle it. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. We recommend contacting us for a custom quote for larger parties.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Tokyo's weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered. Where possible, we utilize covered outdoor spaces or indoor studios that are properly ventilated. If we are scheduled for an outdoor spot and it rains, we can usually reschedule or move to one of our backup indoor locations. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure your event goes ahead as planned.
