How long does a typical after-school graffiti workshop last?

Our after-school sessions in Dunedin usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids plenty of time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tag' on paper, and then get stuck into the main event—spraying their masterpiece on a wall or canvas. It’s the perfect amount of time to stay focused and have a blast without getting tired out.

Is it safe for kids to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the kids at all times, ensuring they use the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints that are safer for young creators while they explore their artistic side in a controlled environment.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners to kids who already love to doodle. Our friendly artists guide the students through every step, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex letter styles and filling techniques. We’re all about boosting confidence and having fun, regardless of how much 'artistic' talent they think they have.

What do we need to bring to the workshop?

We provide everything! Your children just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on (just in case!). We supply the spray cans, caps, protective gear, canvases or boards, and all the inspiration they can handle. We even bring the plastic sheeting to keep the venue tidy if we are working indoors or in a specific school area.

Where in Dunedin do these workshops take place?

We are super flexible! We can host the workshop right at your school in Dunedin, at a local community centre, or even at a Scouts hall. If you don't have a venue, let us know and we can help find a suitable outdoor or indoor spot. As long as there is some ventilation and space to move, we can make the magic happen almost anywhere nearby.

What is the minimum age for participants?

Generally, our after-school programmes are best suited for ages 8 and up. At this age, kids have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt our teaching style for slightly younger or older groups. If you have a specific age range in mind, just chat with us and we’ll tailor the session!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Dunedin? It’s more than just spraying paint on a wall—it’s about creative freedom and thinking outside the box! Here’s why the kids love it:

Total creative freedom: Unlike traditional art classes, there are no "mistakes" in graffiti—only new styles! 🎤
Expert guidance: Our team consists of real street artists who live and breathe this culture and love sharing it with the "young uns".
Confidence builder: Seeing a giant, colourful piece they created themselves gives kids a massive sense of achievement.
Active learning: It’s a physical, hands-on activity that gets them away from screens and moving around. 💪
100% Satisfaction: We focus on fun and safety, ensuring every student walks away with a smile and a masterpiece.
Zero stress for parents: We handle all the setup, the mess, and the pack-down. You just bring the kids!

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly.
Concept sketching: Students grab paper and markers to plan their 'tag' or piece, learning about letter structure and flow.
Can control basics: Our artists show the kids how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure for different effects.
Outline practice: Time to hit the surface! Kids practice drawing their first lines and shapes with the spray cans.
Colour filling: Things get vibrant as we teach blending, fading, and how to fill in their designs with bold, Kiwi-inspired colours.
The 'Powerline' and highlights: We add the finishing touches, like sharp outlines and 3D highlights, to make the artwork pop off the wall.
Group mural or individual canvases: Depending on the setup, students work together on a massive piece or finish their own individual boards to take home.
Clean up and photos: We pack up the gear and take some epic photos of the crew with their finished masterpieces.

Local culture

Dunedin is New Zealand’s hidden gem for street art, boasting a world-class trail that winds through the heritage precincts of the Octagon and the Warehouse District. From the massive murals by international artists to the quirky local stencils, the "Edinburgh of the South" is the perfect backdrop for a graffiti workshop. Our sessions celebrate this local culture, encouraging kids to draw inspiration from the city's unique vibes—from the steep hills of Baldwin Street to the rugged Otago coastline. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin is home to over 30 massive street art murals? It’s basically a giant outdoor art gallery, making it one of the coolest places in NZ to learn the craft! 🔥

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as unique as the art the kids create! Costs depend on the number of students, the location, and whether you want individual canvases or a big group mural. We pride ourselves on being accessible and offering great value for Dunedin families and schools.

No upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the results! 🏆
