Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Kolkata have never touched a spray can before. Our workshops are designed for beginners. Our pro artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering 'fats' and 'skinnies'. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you'll be creating a masterpiece you're proud of. It's all about having fun and being creative! 🎨

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on! While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable, especially for beginners. Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be on your feet moving around your canvas. Think of it as your urban explorer outfit—breathable fabrics are best for the Kolkata humidity! 👕

Is the spray paint safe for health?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops in Kolkata are typically held in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces to ensure plenty of fresh air. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a worry-free environment for you to unleash your inner rebel! ✨

How long does the workshop session last?

Our standard tourist workshop in Kolkata lasts about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your artwork. If you have a larger group or want a more intensive deep-dive, we can certainly extend the session to fit your schedule. ⏰

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

Kolkata's weather can be unpredictable! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and it starts to pour, we usually have a covered backup area ready to go. If the weather is truly extreme, we can look at rescheduling or moving to a fully indoor venue. Our team stays flexible so your travel plans don't get ruined by a sudden monsoon shower! ☔

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you can! Depending on the package you choose, you can create your art on a transportable canvas or board that you can take back to your hotel or home. For those who want to leave a more permanent mark, we also have designated legal walls where your art might stay up for others to see (until the next artist comes along!). 🖼️

What kind of designs can I create during the session?

Kolkata is a city of stories, and we love incorporating that! You can choose to paint your own name, a symbol that represents your journey, or even a 'tag' inspired by the city's iconic yellow taxis or trams. Our artists are great at helping you brainstorm ideas that blend your personal style with the local Kolkata street vibe. 🚋

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is super easy! You can use our online Cost Calculator to get a quick estimate, then simply fill out our contact form. We don't require upfront payments, so you can book your spot and pay after the fun is done. This gives you total peace of mind while planning your Kolkata itinerary. 📅

Local culture

Kolkata has always been India’s cultural and intellectual capital, but lately, that creativity has spilled out from the galleries and onto the streets. The city's 'Para' culture—close-knit neighbourhoods—now features incredible murals that tell stories of revolution, nostalgia, and modern life. While you might know the city for its colonial architecture, the new Kolkata is splashed with neon colours and bold tags. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that North Kolkata is home to some of the oldest street art in India? Local political 'wall writing' has evolved over decades into a sophisticated street art movement that now attracts international artists! 🚋

In our workshop, we don't just teach you how to spray; we connect you to this living history. You'll feel the pulse of the city as you contribute to the same urban landscape that inspired legendary filmmakers and poets. It is a brilliant way to see the "real" Kolkata away from the tourist traps. ✨
