How does a graffiti workshop actually prevent vandalism?

Our anti-vandalism program shifts the focus from 'damage' to 'design'. We teach participants that real street art requires permission, planning, and respect for the community. By providing a legal, supervised outlet for their energy and teaching them the 'code' of the street art world, we significantly reduce the urge to tag illegally. It’s about building pride in their work and their city.

Is the workshop safe for younger participants?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for everyone involved. Our professional artists are trained to manage groups safely, and we use low-pressure spray cans that are easier and safer for beginners to handle. We've run hundreds of workshops across New Zealand with a perfect safety record, so you're in good hands.

What kind of space do we need in Hamilton for this?

Ideally, we need a legal wall or a dedicated space where we can set up large wooden panels or plastic wrapping. In Hamilton, we can work with you to find a suitable outdoor location or use mobile partitions if you want to keep the final artwork. Don't worry about the mess—we use drop cloths and protective barriers to keep the surrounding area pristine.

How long does a typical session last?

Most of our anti-vandalism sessions run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theory of respect and community art, practice basic 'can control' techniques, and then collaborate on a large-scale mural. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can definitely tailor the timing to fit your event or school day.

Do we need to provide any of the materials ourselves?

We bring everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles, safety gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring our expert street artists who provide all the coaching. You just need to show up in some old clothes and shoes—even with our suits, paint has a way of finding its way onto sneakers!

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We find that the sweet spot is usually between 10 and 20 people per instructor to ensure everyone gets enough 'spray time' and guidance. However, we can cater to much larger groups by bringing in more artists from our 'backup' pool. Whether it's a small youth group or a whole school year, we can scale the experience to work for you.

Do participants need to have any prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to create a clean line, and how to fade colours. You’ll be surprised at how quickly people go from shaky lines to creating something they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about the 'learning by doing' vibe!

Local culture

Hamilton is a city that’s quietly becoming a massive hub for street art. From the incredible murals of the Boon Street Art Festival that have transformed the CBD to the hidden gems along the Waikato River trails, the 'Tron' knows how to rock some colour. We love bringing our workshops here because Hamiltonians have a unique, down-to-earth creativity that really shines when they get a spray can in their hand. 🔥

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton hosts one of New Zealand's most prestigious street art festivals? It’s turned plain brick walls into a world-class outdoor gallery. Our program aims to inspire the next generation of Boon artists right here in Kirikiriroa!

Pricing

Our workshops are priced to be accessible while ensuring we use the best gear and the most talented artists. Prices generally range between NZ$45 and NZ$95 per person.

The final cost depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and whether we're providing the boards or painting a permanent wall. Because every anti-vandalism project in Hamilton is a bit different, we love to chat through the details first.
