Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary and secondary school students?

Absolutely! Our after school workshops are designed with safety as the number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor spots or spacious indoor areas in Palmerston North to make sure the environment is perfectly safe for young creatives to let loose.

Do the kids need any prior art experience to join in?

Not at all! This workshop is all about discovery. Our artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold a can to making your first 'tag'. Whether your child is a natural doodler or hasn't picked up a paintbrush in years, we guide them through the process step-by-step. It’s a zero-pressure environment where the focus is on having a blast and trying something completely new after a long day of school.

What should the participants wear to the session?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful'. Even though we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes! It’s best to come prepared so the kids can focus on their masterpiece without worrying about their school uniform or favourite hoodie getting stained.

How long does a typical after school session last?

A standard after school session usually runs for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the basic techniques, practice on paper, and then complete their main artwork on a wall or canvas. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired after their usual school hours.

Where in Palmerston North do these workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at a pre-approved local street art wall in Palmerston North, or we can come directly to your school or community centre if there is a suitable outdoor space. If the weather isn't playing ball, we can also arrange sessions using large canvases in a sheltered area. We’ll coordinate the best location based on your group's size and needs.

What is included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), practice boards or canvases, and expert tuition from a pro artist. You don’t need to bring a single thing—just your imagination and a bit of 'give it a go' Kiwi attitude! We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards.

Is there an age limit for the graffiti workshops?

While we love a good brainstorm, we generally don't allow professional spray paint for kids under the age of 8 due to the physical coordination required to press the nozzles. For children aged 8 to 18, it’s the perfect creative outlet. If you have a younger group, get in touch! We can often adapt the session using paint markers or water-based alternatives so the little ones don't miss out on the fun.

Step by step

Intro & safety mahi: We kick things off with a quick meet-and-greet and a safety briefing to make sure everyone knows how to handle the gear properly.
Design brainstorming: Students grab paper and markers to sketch out their ideas, learning about 'flow' and letter structure from a pro.
Can control 101: We head to the wall to practice basic lines, dots, and fades, getting a feel for how the pressure of the spray works.
Outline phase: Time to go big! Participants sketch their main design onto the surface using light colours.
The fill-in: This is where the magic happens—adding vibrant colours and gradients to bring the piece to life.
Cutting in & details: We use darker colours to sharpen the edges and add those crisp '3D' effects that make graffiti pop.
Final highlights: A few white 'shines' and final touches are added to give the artwork that professional street art finish.
The big reveal: We step back, admire the collective masterpiece, and take plenty of photos for the 'gram (and for mum!).

Local culture

Palmerston North has a growing reputation for its vibrant urban culture, and we love tapping into that local energy! From the iconic murals scattered around the city centre to the creative buzz of the Manawatū River pathways, Palmy is the perfect backdrop for budding artists. We bring the spirit of the local 'Street Scene' directly to the youth, encouraging them to contribute to the city's artistic identity in a positive way. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Palmerston North's arts community is so active that the city often hosts major light and art festivals? It's the perfect place to start your journey as the next big street art legend!

Pricing

We believe every creative project is unique, so we don't do 'one size fits all' pricing. Our rates are super competitive and depend on your group size, location, and the type of surface we're painting on. Plus, you don't have to pay a cent upfront—pay only after the workshop is done!
