Step by step

  1. Check-in and meet: Gather at our vibrant Toa Payoh creative spot and meet your professional street artist guide for the day.
  2. Brief history lesson: Learn about the evolution of graffiti and how the street art scene specifically thrives within the Singaporean context.
  3. Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear, including masks and overalls, while we explain the "rules of the spray."
  4. Can control basics: Start with the fundamentals! Practice making dots, thin lines, and thick flares to get a feel for the spray can.
  5. Sketching your concept: Use chalk or markers to outline your design on the canvas, with your mentor providing tips on composition.
  6. The first layer: Start filling in your colors! Learn how to layer paint without making it drip for a professional look.
  7. Detailing and outlines: This is where the magic happens. Use contrasting colors to make your tag or character "pop" off the background.
  8. Final touches: Add shines, shadows, and those tiny details that turn a sketch into a piece of street art.
  9. Photo op and wrap: Snap some photos with your masterpiece before we help you pack it up or prepare it for transport!

Local culture

Street art in Toa Payoh

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.
