Frequently asked questions

What can I expect during a graffiti workshop in Penang?

Expect a high-energy, hands-on session! We start with a brief history of street art and safety tips, then move quickly into sketching and spraying. You'll learn how to handle a spray can, create clean lines, and layer colours like a pro. By the end, you'll have a finished piece of art and a massive grin on your face. It’s all about letting go and enjoying the process.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from the first nozzle press to the final highlight. You don’t need to be 'good at drawing' to make something that looks incredible on a wall. We provide the techniques; you provide the enthusiasm!

Are materials included in the workshop price?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality spray cans, a wide range of vibrant colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. Depending on the package, we also provide canvases or boards for you to work on. Just bring yourself, some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, and your creative spirit!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and face masks to filter out fumes. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the entire session to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast. It’s a controlled environment where you can experiment without worry.

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

While most of our workshops are outdoors to capture that authentic street vibe, we always have a plan B. We often use sheltered locations or can pivot to indoor sessions using water-based paint markers or specialized indoor-safe aerosols if the weather takes a turn. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your booking is always secure.

How do I get to the workshop location in Penang?

Getting to our Penang locations is a breeze. We usually host our sessions in vibrant areas near George Town, easily accessible via Grab or local buses. Once you book, we’ll send over the exact coordinates and meeting point details. If you're staying in the tourist hub, you're likely only a short ride away from the action!
