Do I need previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the pressure, create clean lines, and build up colours. We provide a safe, supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the creative process. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created.

What should I wear and do you provide gear?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. However, we do recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! Since Kota Kinabalu is tropical, we suggest light, breathable clothing underneath your overalls to stay cool while you create.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your artwork. If you have a tight travel itinerary, we can sometimes adjust the timing, so just let us know your schedule when booking.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary European-standard protective equipment, including professional masks. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our street art experts are also trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring a fun and hazard-free environment for all ages.

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally welcome aspiring artists from age 6 and up! Local laws and safety requirements mean children must be accompanied by an adult. For younger kids, we focus more on fun shapes and vibrant colours, while teenagers and adults can dive deeper into complex lettering and shading techniques. It’s a fantastic bonding activity for families visiting Sabah.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain is common in the tropics, but it won't stop the fun! We have access to various sheltered or indoor locations across Kota Kinabalu where we can set up our mobile 'graffiti walls'. If the weather looks truly dire and we can't find a dry spot, we can reschedule your session or look at alternative indoor creative arrangements.

How do I pay for my workshop?

We believe in keeping things stress-free. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. You can pay after the workshop is finished and you’re 100% happy with your experience. We accept various payment methods—just ask our team for the current options available in KK. We want your holiday to be about making memories, not chasing invoices!

Local culture

Kota Kinabalu is more than just a gateway to Mount Kinabalu; it's a city where traditional Sabahan culture meets a modern, edgy street scene. From the famous Pillars of Sabah—an open-air art gallery transformed from colonial ruins—to the hidden murals in the backstreets of Gaya Street, the city is breathing with colour. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often taking place near spots where you can feel the sea breeze from the South China Sea while you paint.

Fun fact: The street art scene in KK often features local wildlife as a focus! Don't be surprised to see giant orangutans or hornbills spray-painted with incredible detail across the city walls.

If you're heading further afield in Malaysia, don't miss our workshops in Kuala Lumpur or the heritage-soaked streets of Penang.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are flexible, depending on your group size and the specific setup you’re looking for. Whether you want a private session for two or a large group activity, we ensure it’s affordable and fun. Best of all? No upfront payment is required—you pay once the workshop is complete!
