Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

No prior experience is necessary! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists who want to try something new. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to executing clean lines. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you've never picked up a can of paint before.

What should I wear and do you provide protective gear?

We prioritize your safety and comfort. We provide high-quality protective gear, including disposable overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes and skin clean. However, we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case. Street art is a hands-on activity, so come dressed to get creative!

How long does the graffiti workshop session last?

Standard tourist workshops in Toa Payoh usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of local street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before you complete your final piece. It’s the perfect duration to fit into a busy day of sightseeing around Singapore.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, of course! While some of our workshops are done on designated walls, we often use high-quality canvases or boards for tourist sessions. This means you can let your artwork dry and take it home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir from your trip to Singapore. It’s much better than a generic fridge magnet!

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

Don't worry about the tropical Singapore weather. We have access to various sheltered and indoor locations around Toa Payoh and the city area. If the weather looks bad, we can easily pivot to a covered space so your creative flow isn't interrupted by a sudden downpour. Fun is guaranteed, rain or shine!

How do I pay for the workshop?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay everything upfront. We prioritize your trust and satisfaction, so you can settle the payment after the workshop is completed. We accept various payment methods, making it easy for international travelers to manage their holiday budget while enjoying a premium local experience.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

Absolutely! Our workshops are a hit with families. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for smaller hands to control, and we have safety gear sized for children. It’s a fantastic way for kids to express themselves and learn about a different side of Singapore's modern culture in a safe, supervised environment.

Step by step

Check-in and meet: Gather at our vibrant Toa Payoh creative spot and meet your professional street artist guide for the day.
Brief history lesson: Learn about the evolution of graffiti and how the street art scene specifically thrives within the Singaporean context.
Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear, including masks and overalls, while we explain the "rules of the spray."
Can control basics: Start with the fundamentals! Practice making dots, thin lines, and thick flares to get a feel for the spray can.

The first layer: Start filling in your colors! Learn how to layer paint without making it drip for a professional look.
Detailing and outlines: This is where the magic happens. Use contrasting colors to make your tag or character "pop" off the background.

Local culture

Toa Payoh is a beautiful blend of "Old School" Singapore vibes and modern urban life. Known for its iconic HDB designs and the famous Dragon Playground, it offers a gritty, authentic atmosphere that inspires creativity. While Singapore has strict laws, the local street art scene is flourishing in designated zones, and we bring that authentic energy to our workshops.

Fun Fact: Did you know "Toa Payoh" literally means "Big Swamp" in the Hokkien dialect? Today, it’s a concrete jungle of inspiration, far from its marshy beginnings!

Our workshop connects you with the local community, letting you experience a side of the heartlands that most tourists miss while scrolling through Instagram at Marina Bay.
