How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: Meet your pro artist at our vibrant Penang street art location. We’ll kick things off with a quick intro to the local scene.
  2. Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear. We provide masks, gloves, and overalls to keep you looking sharp while you get messy.
  3. Mastering the nozzle: Learn the 'can-control' basics. We’ll show you how different caps and pressure change your lines from thin to fat.
  4. Sketching the vision: Grab some chalk and outline your design. Whether it's a tag, a character, or a message, we'll help you get the proportions right.
  5. The first layer: Start filling in your shapes. This is where you learn about 'filling' and layering colours to create depth.
  6. Sharpening the edges: Use 'cutting' techniques to clean up your lines. This is the secret step that makes your graffiti look professional.
  7. Adding the 'pop': Highlight your work with glows, shadows, and secondary outlines to make the piece jump off the wall.
  8. The final reveal: Step back, drop the can, and admire your work. It’s time for a group photo with your brand-new masterpiece!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Penang graffiti workshop is designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the rhythm of the spray can. It’s all about having a go and expressing yourself in a supportive, fun environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free creative experience for participants of all ages.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and 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 play it safe. Since Penang can be quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. Don't forget your sunglasses and a camera to capture your masterpiece! Fluids and snacks are also a good shout.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard public art workshop in Penang usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice techniques on practice boards, and finally complete a collaborative or individual piece. We can also tailor the duration to fit your specific event schedule if you're looking for something shorter or more intensive. Time flies when you're creating!

What happens if it rains on the day?

We love the sun, but we have plans for the rain too! If the tropical Penang weather decides to turn, we usually have a covered backup location ready to go. If we are working on an outdoor wall that isn't sheltered, we can reschedule or move to an indoor studio setting. We’ll always keep you updated so your creative plans aren't washed away.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

One of the best parts of our workshops is that you get to see your work live! Depending on the setup, you might be working on a large shared mural that stays on a community wall, or individual wooden panels/canvases that you can actually take home. Taking your custom-made street art back to your living room is the ultimate souvenir of your Penang artistic journey!
