Is the workshop safe for primary and intermediate students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for all Wellington youngsters. we provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints, and all sessions are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to ensure a healthy environment for everyone involved.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our after-school sessions are designed for everyone from total beginners to budding young artists. Our Wellington-based instructors are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on building confidence and having fun, so whether your child can't draw a stick figure or is already sketching in a notebook, they'll have a blast and create something amazing.

What should the children wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'play clothes' and closed-toe shoes. While we provide protective overalls and gear, graffiti is a messy business and paint has a way of finding gaps! It’s best not to wear your brand-new school sneakers or your favourite hoodie. Think 'painting day at home' vibes—clothes you don't mind getting a tiny speck of colour on just in case.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

In true Welly fashion, we always have a Plan B for the weather. If it's too windy or raining, we move the workshop to a sheltered or indoor location. Our team monitors the forecast closely and will keep you updated if there's a change of venue. We ensure the creative fun continues regardless of what the 'Windy City' throws at us!

Do the kids get to keep the artwork they create?

Yes, they do! Every participant gets to take home their very own masterpiece created on a high-quality canvas or board. It's a fantastic way for them to show off their new skills to family and friends. We provide carry bags or boards to make sure the fresh paint doesn't end up on your car seats during the ride home!

How long does a typical after-school session last?

Our standard after-school workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of learning time, practice, and the final creation phase without the kids losing focus. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit your specific school or group schedule if needed—just let us know what works best for your Wellington group!

Local culture

Wellington is the heart of New Zealand's creative soul, and our street art scene reflects that eclectic "Welly" spirit. From the iconic murals lining Hannahs Laneway to the hidden gems in Te Aro, inspiration is everywhere you look in the capital. We draw on this local energy to show students that art isn't just for galleries—it's part of the city's pulse. Our workshops often reference the incredible public works seen around Cuba Street, helping kids connect their own creations to the urban landscape they walk through every day.

Fun Fact: Did you know Wellington has a dedicated "Graffiti Art Window" and legal walls where artists compete to showcase the most vibrant designs? It's one of the most street-art-friendly cities in the Southern Hemisphere! 🏆
