Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our Kolkata graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from people who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and moving up to layering and shading. You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the techniques and create something you're genuinely proud of. It's all about the experience and having a blast! 🎨

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We use professional spray paint brands that meet safety standards. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly while having fun in the City of Joy. 🛡️

How long does a typical workshop session last?

The standard public art workshop in Kolkata typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are planning a larger community mural project, the timeline can be extended over several days depending on the wall size and design complexity. ⏱️

What is the minimum age for participants?

We usually recommend a minimum age of 8 to 10 years old, as the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination to operate effectively. However, we can host younger children with closer supervision or by using water-based paint markers for certain details. It’s a fantastic activity for families looking to do something unique together in the city! 👨👩-👧👦

What should I wear and bring to the workshop?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy, just in case! While we provide protective overalls, spray paint find a way to travel. Closed-toe shoes (sneakers) are a must for safety. We provide everything else: the paint, the caps, the masks, and the "canvas" (whether it's a wall or a board). Just bring your energy and your imagination to the session! ✨

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

Kolkata weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor public art sessions, we always monitor the forecast. If rain is expected, we usually try to move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with high-ceiling ventilation. If the weather is too severe, our backup artists will work with you to reschedule for the next available sunny day at no extra cost. ☁️

Can you host workshops for large community groups?

We love working with community groups! Whether it's a neighborhood association, a youth club, or a group of friends, we can scale our workshops to fit. For larger groups, we bring in additional artist-mentors to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. We can even facilitate the creation of a large-scale collaborative mural that reflects your group's specific identity or message. 🤝

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop in the City of Joy? Because we believe art belongs to everyone, not just those with a studio! 🌟 Here is why our public art programs stand out:

Expert Mentorship: Learn from working street artists who know the secrets of the Kolkata graffiti scene. 🎤
Complete Kits Provided: Don't worry about buying expensive supplies. We provide professional-grade cans, nozzles, and safety gear. 🔥
Total Freedom: Unlike traditional art classes, there are no "mistakes" here—only layers. Express yourself without boundaries! 🚀
Zero Risk: With our pay-after-the-workshop policy and backup artist guarantee, your experience is 100% stress-free.
Unforgettable Memories: Perfect for a unique weekend out, a school trip, or even a bachelor party with a twist! 🏆
Digital Tools: Use our Tag Creator to prep your design online before you even touch a real spray can. ✨

Step by step

Introduction & Gear Up: Meet your artist mentors and suit up in protective gear. We’ll show you how to use the masks and gloves properly.
History & Culture: Get a quick, high-energy briefing on the roots of graffiti culture and how it evolved into the modern street art movement.
Can Control 101: Learn the "anatomy" of a spray can. Practice different pressures, nozzle types (caps), and distances to get the perfect line.
Sketching Your Vision: Use chalk or light paint to map out your design. Don't worry, our pros are there to help you refine your proportions.
The First Layer: Fill in your shapes with base colours. This is where you learn how to achieve even coverage without the paint dripping.
Cutting & Outlining: Master the art of the "cut." Use contrasting colours to create sharp edges and make your design pop off the wall.
Shading & Highlights: Add depth to your work. We’ll teach you how to create 3D effects and highlights that catch the Kolkata sun.
Fine Details: Use specialized caps for the finishing touches—tags, flares, and intricate patterns that give your art its personality.
The Big Reveal: Step back, snap some photos, and celebrate your contribution to the city’s creative landscape with the rest of the crew!

Local culture

Kolkata has always been a haven for thinkers, poets, and rebels. From the iconic political "wall writing" of decades past to the stunning contemporary murals found today in areas like Hatibagan and Park Street, the city breathes public art. Our workshops tap into this legendary Bengali "Adda" culture—where conversation and creativity flow freely. We don't just paint; we engage with the city's pulse.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the "Kolkata Street Art Festival" has helped transform entire neighbourhoods into open-air galleries? The city's openness to public expression makes it one of the most welcoming places in India for aspiring graffiti artists! 🎨

Whether you want to explore the gritty aesthetics of the Kolkata port area or the artistic vibes of South Kolkata, our workshops reflect the local flavour and spirit of this incredible metropolis.
