English, Turkish

If you’re searching for things to do in Istanbul that are creative, unique, and immersive, this graffiti art workshop is the perfect way to experience the city’s urban art culture firsthand.

Led by local graffiti artists Peep&Shimo in their own home garden, this experience invites you to explore the history, techniques, and artistic expression of street art. Over a cup of coffee or tea, you’ll hear about how graffiti evolved globally and its growing influence in Turkey. Then, you’ll be introduced to the tools of the trade—spray cans, caps, brushes, and masks—before sketching out your own design under expert guidance.

The real excitement begins when you take your spray can in hand and paint directly onto the wall, creating your own piece of street art. Whether you’re an artist or just curious, you’ll discover how graffiti is not just painting—it’s a voice, a movement, and a way to express yourself.

By the end, you’ll leave with new artistic skills, great friendships, and the incredible feeling of leaving your mark in Istanbul. If you're wondering what is best to do in Istanbul, this is a must-try when you are in Istanbul!

Absolutely amazing. Definitely a one of a kind experice. Ali, Our host, was so hospitable and very knowledgeable about his art. He guided us enough for my wife’s and I’s artwork to look professional but still gave us the freedom to work on it ourselves so we actually felt like we accomplished something. Not only would I recommend this everyone but the next time I’m in Istanbul I’ll definitely be doing it again.
