How long does a typical graffiti birthday party last?

Most of our Christchurch kids' birthday parties run between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the tamariki enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'can control', and complete their final masterpiece on their individual boards. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired. If you have a larger group, we can extend the session to suit!

Is spray painting safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos for every child. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for smaller hands to control, and our professional artists provide constant supervision. We also prefer to host our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast.

What is the recommended age for a graffiti workshop?

Ideally, kids should be 7 years or older to get the most out of the experience. At this age, they generally have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the artist's instructions. If you have younger siblings attending, just let us know! We can often arrange for a slightly different creative activity so they feel included in the birthday celebrations.

Do the kids need to have any prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our Christchurch graffiti artists are expert teachers who break down the process into easy, fun steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to 'fills' and 'shadows'. Even kids who don't think they are 'artistic' usually walk away shocked at how cool their final piece looks!

What do we need to provide on the day?

We provide all the specialized gear, including the spray cans, caps, masks, and the canvases or boards the kids will paint on. We recommend that the kids wear 'old clothes' and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide ponchos, graffiti can be a bit messy when the creative juices are flowing!

Where in Christchurch do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can come to your backyard if it's large and well-ventilated, or we can recommend several great outdoor spots and community spaces around Christchurch that are perfect for a street art session. If the weather looks like it might turn 'classic Canterbury', we always try to have a backup plan or a sheltered area prepared so the party can go ahead rain or shine.

How do I book and what does it cost?

Getting a price is super easy! Simply use our online Cost Calculator or flick us a message for a custom quote. Our prices generally range from $45 to $95 per person, depending on how many kids are attending and what kind of setup you're after. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is finished and you're 100% happy with the result!

Local culture

Christchurch has transformed into the street art capital of New Zealand over the last decade. Since the earthquakes, our city walls have become a massive outdoor gallery, with incredible murals by artists like Wongi 'Pman' Wilson and various international legends. Our workshops tap into this vibrant local culture, giving Christchurch kids the chance to be part of the city's creative heartbeat. Whether you’re in Riccarton, New Brighton, or out in Rangiora, we bring that inner-city urban edge to your neighbourhood.

Fun Fact: Did you know Christchurch was once named by Lonely Planet as one of the best cities in the world to see street art? Your kids won't just be painting; they'll be following in the footsteps of world-class artists! 🏆

Pricing

We believe every kid deserves an epic birthday, so we offer flexible pricing to suit your budget and crew size. Our workshops are a premium experience that includes professional instruction and all materials.

Price per person: NZ$45 – NZ$95

The final cost depends on the number of participants, the location, and whether you want any extra-special additions (like custom-designed boards for each child). Remember, there’s no upfront payment required—you only pay once the party is over and you're happy with the results!
