What if I have zero artistic talent or experience?

No worries at all! Our Dunedin workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex 'fades' and 'outlines'. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before they arrive, and they leave with a piece of art they're genuinely proud of. It’s all about having a crack and enjoying the process!

Is it safe and messy? What should I wear?

We take safety seriously so you can focus on the fun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We recommend wearing older sneakers and comfortable clothes just in case, as spray paint is permanent! Our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a controlled and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.

What kind of paint do you use? Is it eco-friendly?

Sustainability is important to us. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and produce less overspray. The paints we use are professional-grade but selected with safety and environment in mind. We also ensure that all empty cans are disposed of or recycled correctly. Our goal is to leave a positive cultural impact on Dunedin without leaving a negative footprint on the planet.

What happens if it rains on the day of our event?

Dunedin weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' so we usually have backup plans. We can host workshops at various indoor venues across the city or under covered outdoor spaces. If the weather is really packing up, we’ll work with you to reschedule or move to a sheltered spot. Your workshop will go ahead rain or shine, so the creative vibes don't have to stop!

Can we take our artwork home with us after the workshop? illumination?

Absolutely! While we love creating large-scale murals on walls, we often use high-quality canvases or specialized boards for our cultural events. This means you can actually take your masterpiece home to hang on the wall or keep it at your office as a memento of the day. It’s a fantastic way to remember your Dunedin street art experience long after the paint has dried.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard cultural workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and then the main event where you create your masterpiece. We can easily scale the timing up or down depending on your event schedule—just let us know what works best for your group's itinerary!

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is easy and stress-free! Just hit the 'Request a Quote' button or use our online Cost Calculator. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your date, as we believe in a 'pay after the fun' approach. Once we confirm the details and group size, we’ll handle all the logistics so you can just turn up and start spraying!

Design brainstorming: We’ll help you sketch out a plan for your main piece, whether it's a personal work or a collaborative group mural.
Filling and fading: Learn the secrets of blending colours and creating those iconic 'street art' gradients that make the art pop.

Wrap up: We pack down the gear, and you head off with a brand-new set of skills and a huge smile.

Local culture

Dunedin is widely regarded as the street art capital of New Zealand, and for good reason! From the massive murals in the Warehouse Precinct to the hidden gems tucked away near the Octagon, the city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, celebrating the heritage and the 'edgy' academic vibe that makes Dunedin so unique. Whether we're setting up near the University of Otago or in a local community space, the 'Dunner's' energy always shines through.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Dunedin features works by world-renowned street artists like Pixel Pancho and Phlegm? Our workshops often take inspiration from these incredible public murals that decorate our city streets! 🎨
