Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Your kids' safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists are onsite at all times to supervise the use of the spray cans and ensure everyone follows the safety protocols. We use low-odour, high-quality paints designed for artistic use, making it a safe and controlled environment for Auckland's future street artists to learn.

Do students need previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Auckland after-school workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never held a can to kids who are already sketching in their notebooks. Our artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps, ensuring every student walks away with a piece of art they are stoked with. It is all about building confidence and having a go!

What should my child wear to the session?

We recommend wearing 'old' clothes and comfortable sneakers. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy, and paint sometimes finds its way onto shoes or sleeves. It is best to wear something you do not mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. We provide all the specialized gear like masks and, of course, the spray cans and boards.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard after-school sessions in Auckland typically run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tags' on the practice wall, and then complete their final masterpiece on an individual canvas or board that they get to take home. It is the perfect length to keep energy high and spirits buzzing!

Do the kids get to keep their artwork?

Yes! One of the best parts of our Auckland workshops is that every student gets to take their individual artwork home. Whether it is a canvas or a specially prepared board, they will have a physical reminder of their creative achievement to hang on their bedroom wall. It is a great way for them to show off their new skills to family and friends.

What happens if we need to cancel or change dates?

Life happens, we get it! That is why we do not require upfront payments. You can settle the bill after the workshop is completed. Furthermore, we have a deep pool of backup artists in the Auckland region, so if an instructor falls ill, we almost always have a professional ready to step in so the kids don't miss out on their creative fun.

Can you host the workshop at our school?

Absolutely. While we love hosting groups at our designated street art spots, we can also bring the mobile graffiti studio to your Auckland school or community centre. As long as there is a well-ventilated outdoor space or a large hall with appropriate coverage, we can set up our protective plastic and boards to turn any space into a temporary urban art gallery.

Shadows & highlights: We show them the 'pro' tricks to make their art pop off the surface with 3D effects. ✨
The final outline: A crisp final outline brings the whole piece together for that professional street art look.

Local culture

Auckland’s street art scene is world-class, from the towering murals in the CBD to the hidden gems in Ponsonby and Karangahape Road. Our workshops draw inspiration from the city's unique blend of Pacific influence and urban grit. We don't just teach kids how to spray; we connect them to the local culture that makes Auckland's walls talk. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Auckland is home to some of the largest street art festivals in the Southern Hemisphere? Many of the artists who paint the massive murals you see around the Sky Tower started out just like our students—learning the basics and finding their own unique style! 🎨
