Do we need to bring our own art supplies for the retreat?

Everything you need for a creative masterpiece is included. We provide premium low-pressure spray cans (easier to control), protective masks, gloves, and aprons to keep your clothes clean. You’ll also have professional-grade surfaces to paint on and access to our artist’s expert guidance throughout the session. Just bring your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on! We handle the rest.

Do I need any previous artistic experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Ipoh retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through every single step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our guests haven't picked up a spray can since childhood, but they leave with an incredible sense of accomplishment and a genuine piece of street art they can be proud of.

What happens if the weather in Ipoh doesn't cooperate?

Ipoh is beautiful, but it can be humid! We choose our workshop locations carefully to ensure there is plenty of shade and ventilation. If we are working outdoors, we have backup plans for sudden tropical downpours to ensure your retreat isn't interrupted. Your comfort and safety are our priority, so we provide plenty of breaks and a relaxed pace suitable for the Malaysian climate.

How long does a typical graffiti retreat session last?

We are very flexible! While we recommend 2 to 3 hours for a standard retreat experience to truly get into the 'flow' state, we can customise the duration to fit your itinerary. If you're looking for a quick creative 'spark' or a full-day immersive art experience, just let us know. We work around your schedule to ensure the graffiti workshop fits perfectly into your Ipoh getaway.

Is there a deposit required to book our session?

Graffitifun is unique because we never ask for money upfront. You can book your Ipoh retreat workshop today to secure your preferred date and artist, and you only pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any transaction happens. It’s all part of our commitment to making your creative retreat as stress-free and fun as possible.

Is spray painting safe for everyone in our group?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our paint is professional-grade but used in well-ventilated or outdoor areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our artists are trained in safety protocols and will give a full demonstration before anyone presses a nozzle. It’s a safe, controlled environment where the only thing you need to worry about is your design!

Can the workshop be held at our specific hotel or resort?

Yes! One of the best parts of our retreat workshop is that it's highly portable. Whether you are staying at a heritage boutique hotel in Old Town or a lush rainforest resort like The Banjaran, we can often bring the workshop to you (provided there is an appropriate outdoor space). Alternatively, we have established 'secret spots' around Ipoh that offer the perfect atmosphere for an authentic street art experience.

The experience

Unleash your creativity: Break free from the digital world and get hands-on with real cans and vibrant colours. It’s the ultimate brain reset! 🧠
Expert local artists: Our team isn't just skilled; they are part of the local scene. You'll learn the real techniques used on the streets. 💪
Zero pressure environment: We focus on the joy of the process. No judgmental critiques here—just pure, unadulterated fun and discovery. 🎤
Unique Ipoh vibes: Experience the city’s culture through a different lens, far away from the standard tourist traps. 🎉
All-inclusive experience: From masks to paint, we provide it all. You just bring your energy and a desire to try something new.
Take home more than memories: Depending on the session, you can take your canvas home or leave a lasting digital legacy of your wall mural.

Step by step

The warm-up: We kick things off with a brief history of street art and a safety demo. You'll get familiar with the cans and learn about different nozzles (or 'caps') that create various line widths.
Sketching your vision: Grab a marker and a piece of paper. Under the guidance of our lead artist, you'll sketch out your initial ideas, focusing on letter structure and flow.
First lines: Time to approach the wall! You'll start with the 'outline,' learning how to move your arm and body to get those clean, crisp lines you see on the streets of Ipoh.
Colour filling: Here’s where the magic happens. You’ll choose your palette and learn 'filling' techniques, ensuring even coverage and vibrant results.
Mastering the fade: Our artists will show you how to blend colours directly on the surface, creating professional gradients and '3D' effects that make your art pop.
The final outline: We go back over the edges with a contrasting colour to make the design stand out. This 'powerline' is what gives graffiti its sharp, finished look.
Highlights & details: Add those final touches—shines, 'force fields,' or little drips—to give your piece its unique personality.
The big reveal: Step back, drop the cans, and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo against your new mural!

Good to know

🕒 Duration: Most sessions run between 2 to 3 hours, but we offer full-day immersions for those who want a deeper dive into the art form.

👥 Group Sizes: We cater to everything from intimate solo retreats and couples to large groups of up to 50 people. Small groups ensure plenty of 1-on-1 time with our artists.

🎒 Included: We provide all professional spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, and aprons. We also provide a canvas or wall space for your creation.

🛡️ Safety & Reliability: Safety is paramount. We use high-quality, low-odour paints where possible and have a deep pool of backup artists to ensure your workshop always goes ahead as planned. No stress, just success! 🔥

Local culture

Ipoh has transformed from a sleepy tin-mining town into a vibrant cultural hub, and its walls tell the story. From the famous 'mural art' lanes in the Old Town to the hidden contemporary pieces tucked away in the New Town, street art is woven into Ipoh's DNA. Our workshops reflect this blend of heritage and modern edge, often taking place near the iconic limestone caves or within the rustic charm of the town centre.

🎨 Fun Fact: Ipoh's street art fame exploded in 2014 when renowned artist Ernest Zacharevic painted seven murals celebrating the city's culture, including the famous 'Old Uncle' drinking coffee!

During your retreat, you’ll find inspiration in everything from the intricate shop-house tiles to the lush jungle greenery surrounding the city. We don't just teach you to spray; we help you soak up the local atmosphere and translate it into a piece of art that feels authentically "Ipoh." 🥥
