These passionate artists invite you to their home, offering a truly unique and intimate opportunity to explore the world of graffiti art. The experience takes place in the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of their garden, giving you a sense of how art and Turkish home culture blend together.

The journey begins with a warm welcome, where you’ll enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while getting to know your hosts. Peep and Shimo will share the fascinating history of graffiti art—how it started in the streets of New York and evolved into a global movement. As the conversation flows, they will dive deeper into how graffiti has developed within Turkey's urban landscape, providing insights into local street art culture. This is not just an art lesson but a cultural exchange, where you’ll learn about Turkish society and history in a relaxed, friendly setting.

They’ll explain the importance of mastering different graffiti techniques, including the art of building and shaping letters, as well as the wide variety of styles that graffiti encompasses.

The fun begins as you try your hand at creating your graffiti piece. You’ll start by sketching your ideas on paper, guided by the artists who will help you develop your design. Once you feel confident, you’ll take your newfound skills to the garden wall, where you’ll be able to express your creativity with spray cans. It’s not just about creating a piece of art, it's about the experience of being immersed in the process, from brainstorming ideas to seeing them come to life on the wall. In the end, you will walk away with both a beautiful piece of graffiti that you’ve created yourself and lasting memories of a unique artistic journey shared with new friends.
