Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Malacca workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a safe, supportive environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor setting. Our instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. While the paint is permanent on the walls, we ensure you stay clean and protected throughout the creative process.

What should I wear to the workshop?

Wear comfortable, old clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear including overalls, it’s best to be prepared. Malacca can be quite warm, so light, breathable fabrics are recommended. Don't forget your sunblock and a bottle of water, although we usually have refreshments nearby to keep your creative energy flowing.

How long does a typical session last?

The duration can vary based on your group's size and the specific program you choose, but most workshops last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for introductions, a history of Malacca's street art scene, practicing basic techniques, and finally completing your large-scale collaborative or individual artwork. We move at a pace that ensures you never feel rushed while keeping the energy high.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

In Malacca, we primarily focus on collaborative murals on legal walls, but we also offer sessions where you can paint on individual canvases that you get to take home. The canvas option is a fantastic way to keep a permanent souvenir of your Malacca holiday. Let us know your preference when booking so we can arrange the right materials and location for your group's specific creative needs.

What happens if it rains on the day?

The weather in Malacca can be unpredictable! If it rains, we have several backup options. Many of our local partner locations have covered areas where we can continue the workshop safely. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule the session or move to an indoor studio space. We always have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead regardless of minor hitches.

Is there a maximum group size?

We love hosting large groups! Whether it's a corporate team-building event, a local Malacca school group, or a massive family reunion, we can scale our experience to fit. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Our cost calculator can help you get a quick estimate for your specific group size and requirements.

Local culture

Malacca is a city where history and modernity collide in a beautiful explosion of colour. While the city is famous for its Dutch Square and Jonker Walk, the "Malacca River Art Project" has transformed the backstreets into a world-class outdoor gallery. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the rich Peranakan culture and the legendary tales of the Malacca Sultanate. 🐉

Fun Fact: Many of the murals along the Malacca River actually tell the story of the city’s history, from the early spice trade to the colorful trishaws you see today!

By participating in a workshop here, you aren't just painting a wall; you're joining a community of artists who have helped turn Malacca into one of Malaysia's most important hubs for public art. We often work near the creative zones of Jalan Tukang Besi or the riverbanks, ensuring you feel the true pulse of the city's street scene.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art! Because we cater to everything from small private groups to large-scale public art festivals, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Factors like group size, choice of location, and whether you want to paint on a wall or take home a canvas will influence the final cost. 💰

Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today!

The best part? No upfront payment is required. You can book your session with confidence and pay after the workshop is complete. Reach out to us for a custom estimate and let's start planning your Malacca street art experience!
