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!

What makes it unique?

This experience connects guests directly with local street artists who share their creative world inside their own living space. Rather than a typical city tour, the focus is on personal stories, artistic processes, and hands-on creative exploration. The mix of conversation, art practice, and home environment offers an intimate perspective on Istanbul’s street art scene.

Graffiti was a very novel experience for us. Ali patiently introduced his past works and helped us complete our vision, even though we knew nothing. A unique and memorable activity ❤️

A welcome that lived up to the experience. I discovered an art I knew nothing about. Even in the heat it was great. I was alone for the workshop and I really loved it. In a group it must be even better. Go for it and enjoy!
