Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our graffiti workshops in Kuching generally last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the basics of spray painting, practice your techniques, and complete a final masterpiece on a canvas or wall. We move at a pace that suits your group, ensuring everyone feels comfortable with the spray cans before diving into the main project. It's the perfect length for a morning or afternoon activity.

I've never painted before, can I still join?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Most of our guests are picking up a spray can for the very first time. Your professional artist-guide will walk you through every step, from basic line work to advanced shading. We focus on fun and creativity rather than technical perfection, so you can relax and enjoy the process. You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the skills!

Is the workshop safe and are materials provided?

Your health and safety are our top priorities. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs protected. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and we use professional-grade spray paints. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts painting, ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment throughout the entire session.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! Since most of our sessions are outdoors in the Kuching warmth, light and breathable fabrics are a great choice. Closed-toe shoes (like trainers or sneakers) are required for safety and stability while you are working on your art.

What is your booking and cancellation policy?

We understand that travel plans can change. That’s why we offer a flexible booking policy with no upfront payment required—you simply pay after the workshop is completed! If you need to reschedule or cancel your session in Kuching, just let us know as soon as possible. We even have backup artists available to ensure your booking goes ahead even if there’s an unexpected scheduling conflict.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Kuching’s tropical weather can be unpredictable! For our tourist workshops, we usually have sheltered outdoor spots or indoor back-up locations ready to go. If the rain is too heavy to paint safely, we can often reschedule the session for later in the day or provide a suitable indoor alternative. We’ll keep a close eye on the forecast and stay in touch with you!
