How it works

Introduction & culture: Meet your local graffiti pro and dive into the fascinating world of Tokyo's street art history and the 'writing' culture.
Gear up: Put on your protective suit, mask, and gloves. We make sure you look the part and stay clean before the paint starts flowing.
Can control basics: Learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure to create thin lines, thick fades, and sharp dots.
The tag & throw-up: Practice the foundational elements of graffiti—designing your own signature tag and a stylized 'throw-up' on practice surfaces.
Sketching your concept: Team up or work solo to sketch out your big public art idea on paper before moving to the wall.
First layers: Start with the 'fill-in'—applying your base colors to the wall using the techniques you've just mastered.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! Add the sharp outlines that make your graffiti pop and take shape.
Highlights & 3D: Learn the pro secrets of adding 'shine' and 3D shadows to give your artwork depth and a professional finish.
The final reveal: Step back, admire your collective masterpiece with the group, and take plenty of photos for the 'gram!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Tokyo workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from nozzle control to layering colors, ensuring you feel confident and have a blast while creating your very first piece of street art.🎨

Is it safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our number one priority in Tokyo. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and premium paint that meets safety standards. Our instructors also provide a full safety briefing before any paint starts flying, ensuring a worry-free experience for everyone involved.🛡️

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard public art workshops in Tokyo typically last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the culture, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you're looking for something more intensive, we can customize the duration to fit your group's schedule.⏱️

How do I pay for the session?

We believe in the quality of our experience, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront payments. Once the session is complete and you've had an amazing time making art in Tokyo, you can settle the balance. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.💳

What happens if it rains on the day?

Generally, our workshops are 100% weather-proof! We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations throughout Tokyo where we can spray regardless of the rain. If you've booked an outdoor session and the Tokyo weather turns sour, we’ll work with you to move to a covered spot or reschedule to ensure your experience isn't dampened.🌧️

Are all materials included in the price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a variety of colors, different nozzles (caps) for various effects, protective gear, and the surface we'll be painting on. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable shoes. We even have backup artists ready to go, so your event will never be cancelled.✨
