  2. Safety first: Get geared up with your mask and gloves while we explain the dos and don'ts of aerosol art.
  3. The tag creator: Learn the basics of letter formation and 'tagging' to help you develop your own unique street artist signature.
  4. Nozzle knowledge: Practice 'can control'—learning how different distances and pressures create thin lines, fat fills, and cool flares.
  5. Sketching the vision: Work with your mentor to sketch out your design on the canvas or wall, ensuring a great balance and layout.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have artistic talent or previous experience?

Absolutely! Our workshops are specifically designed for beginners and tourists who have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every single step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering. Most of our guests start with zero experience and end up creating a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It is all about having fun and letting your creativity flow!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, professional protective gloves, and masks. Depending on the workshop package, you will paint on high-quality canvases or dedicated graffiti walls. We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic' overspray on, just in case!

Is the paint safe and what safety gear do you provide?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who will brief you on the proper way to handle the cans and maintain a safe workspace. Since we are often working outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces in Ipoh, you can breathe easy while you create.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demo of the techniques, and plenty of hands-on time for you to complete your masterpiece. If you are on a tight travel schedule around Malaysia, we can often adjust the timing to fit your itinerary perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, or a large tour group, we can accommodate you. Small groups offer a more intimate, one-on-one coaching experience, while large groups turn into a high-energy street art party. For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough attention and guidance.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that travel plans can change. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy—you can pay after the workshop is completed. We also have a network of backup artists ready to step in, so you don't have to worry about last-minute cancellations on our end. Your creative experience in Ipoh is guaranteed!
