How long does a typical after-school workshop last?

Our after-school sessions in Napier usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic safety rules, practice their 'can control' on plastic wrap or practice boards, and then complete their final masterpiece on a canvas or board. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy environment that keeps everyone engaged from start to finish without getting bored.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the group closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used responsibly. We use low-pressure cans which are much easier for younger hands to control, making the whole experience safe and stress-free for parents.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics, like how to hold the can and how to create a simple line. Our instructors guide the students through every step of the process. You'll be amazed at how quickly kids pick up the techniques and how professional their final artwork looks by the end of the session.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable sneakers, just in case a little bit of paint finds its way past the overalls. While we provide protective gear, graffiti can be a bit messy! Since Napier has such great weather, we often work outdoors, so bringing a sun hat and a water bottle is always a good idea for those sunny Hawke's Bay afternoons.

Do the kids get to keep their artwork?

What makes Graffitifun special is that every student gets to take their creation home! We usually work on high-quality canvases or wooden panels. Once the paint is dry, the kids have a permanent piece of street art to hang on their bedroom wall. It’s a fantastic way for them to remember what they learned and show off their new skills to family and friends.

How do we book and when do we pay?

Booking is easy! Since prices depend on your specific group size and the location in Napier, we recommend requesting a free quote through our website. There’s no upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is completed. We also have backup artists available, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining the afternoon plans.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your after-school programme? It's more than just painting—it's about building confidence and finding a unique voice. Here’s why Napier schools love us:

🔥 Pure creative freedom: No "right" or "wrong" here—just heaps of room for kids to express themselves.
🎨 Real pro mentors: Learn from actual street artists who live and breathe the culture.
💪 Confidence booster: Taking a blank canvas to a finished piece of art gives students a huge sense of achievement.
✨ All-inclusive packages: We bring everything! You just provide the space and the enthusiastic students.
🛡️ Risk-free booking: With our backup artist guarantee and "pay later" policy, your event is in safe hands.
🎤 Active engagement: It’s hands-on and physical, the perfect way to burn off steam after a day in the classroom.

Step by step

Gear up and safety first: We start by getting everyone suited up in protective overalls, gloves, and masks. Safety is key before we touch a single can!
Introduction to street art: Our pro artists give a quick, high-energy talk about the history of graffiti and the difference between tagging and masterpieces.
Learning 'can control': Students start with the basics—learning how to regulate pressure to create thin lines, fat lines, and smooth dots.
The tag creation: Every artist needs a name! We help the kids design their own unique 'tag' or street art persona to sign their work.
Sketching the design: Using chalk or light spray, we outline the main shapes of the piece on the canvas, focusing on letter structure and flow.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! We teach the kids how to blend colours and create those iconic graffiti gradients.
The power of the outline: We use a contrasting colour to make the design pop, giving it that crisp, professional look.
Highlights and details: Adding small 'shines' and 'powerlines' to give the artwork depth and a 3D effect.
The grand reveal: We finish with a group gallery walk where everyone shows off their canvas and snaps a few photos for the 'gram!

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours, making them the perfect fit for the end of the school day.

Group sizes: we cater to groups of all sizes, from small clubs of 10 to larger cohorts of 30+ students. We provide enough instructors to ensure everyone gets hands-on help.

What's included: We provide all the professional spray paint, nozzles (caps), canvases, and full protective gear (masks, gloves, and overalls).

Locations: We are fully mobile! We can come to your school, a local community centre, or suggest an outdoor spot in Napier or Hastings.

Safety: Our instructors are background-checked professionals who prioritise a safe, clean, and respectful workshop environment.

Local culture

Napier might be world-famous for its Art Deco architecture, but it’s also home to a thriving contemporary street art scene. From the stunning Sea Walls murals that decorate the CBD to the hidden gems in Ahuriri, Napier is the perfect backdrop for inspiring the next generation of Kiwi artists. Our workshops tap into this local creative energy, showing kids that art isn't just something found in a gallery—it's part of the fabric of our city.

Fun Fact: Did you know Napier hosts the "Sea Walls: Treading Water" festival? Many of the massive murals you see around town were painted to raise awareness about ocean conservation!

We love bringing our mobile setups to local parks or school grounds, making the most of that famous Hawke's Bay sunshine while we create something epic together.
