Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

Not at all! Our Hamilton workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the can to advanced layering techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. Whether you're a seasoned artist or haven't picked up a brush since primary school, you're going to have a blast.

What gear do I need to bring with me?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards for you to work on. Just bring your enthusiasm, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on, and your creative spark!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to manage the group safely. We use low-pressure cans which are easier to control, making the experience safe and enjoyable for everyone from kids to adults.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard cultural event workshops usually run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your group or individual artwork. If you have a specific schedule or a larger festival event in Hamilton, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Hamilton weather can be a bit unpredictable, but don't worry! We have access to various sheltered and indoor locations across the city that are suitable for graffiti. If the weather looks like it's going to pack in, we'll arrange a covered spot so the creative vibes can keep flowing without anyone getting drenched. We've always got a backup plan ready to go!

Do I need to pay upfront?

We're all about making things easy for you. There is no upfront payment required when you book! You can settle the bill after the workshop once you've seen how much fun everyone had. We accept bank transfers and major cards. We believe in our experience so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied before we call it a day.

Can we book a private workshop for a birthday?

Absolutely! Graffiti is a fantastic way to celebrate a milestone. We regularly host sessions for 21sts, stag and hen do's, and kids' birthday parties in Hamilton. It’s a unique, high-energy activity that gets everyone involved and leaves you with some epic photos and memories. We can even tailor the theme of the workshop to match your celebration!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your next Hamilton event? Because we bring the heat to the Waikato with an experience like no other. Here’s why we’re the top pick for street art fans:

Pro Artist Crew: You’ll be learning from real-deal artists who are passionate about the craft and teaching others. 🎤
Zero Stress Booking: No upfront payment needed. We trust our experience is so good you'll be happy to pay once the paint is dry!
All-Inclusive Kits: From the latest low-pressure spray cans to professional safety masks, we bring the whole kit and caboodle.
No Cancellations: We have a deep bench of backup artists, so your Hamilton event goes ahead rain or shine, no matter what. 🏆
Custom Vibes: We tailor every session. Looking for a kids party or a company event? We’ve got the perfect format for you.
Inclusive Fun: Graffiti is a great equaliser—it doesn't matter if you're 8 or 80, everyone finds their flow once the paint starts flying. ✨

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a quick yarn about the history of street art and look at some local Hamilton murals for inspiration.
Gear up: Safety first! We'll get everyone fitted with masks, gloves, and protective suits so you stay clean and safe.
The basics: Your artist guide will demonstrate "can control"—showing you how to make thin lines, fat caps, and smooth gradients.
First sketches: Grab a can and have a go on the practice wall. It’s all about getting a feel for the pressure and flow.
Design phase: Now we plan out your actual piece. Whether it's a "tag," a "piece," or a character, we'll help you sketch it out.
Filling & fading: This is where the colour comes in! We’ll teach you how to fill large areas and blend colours for that pro look.
Outlining: The moment of truth—adding those sharp outlines that make your graffiti pop off the background.
Final touches: Add shines, shadows, and "bits" to give your artwork that final professional polish.
The reveal: Step back, admire your work, and grab some epic photos with the crew before we pack down.

Local culture

Hamilton (or Kirikiriroa) has undergone a massive transformation over the last few years. What used to be plain brick walls are now home to incredible large-scale murals, thanks to events like the Boon Street Art Festival. Our workshops tap into this local energy, celebrating the shift from "hidden" graffiti to celebrated public art. When you're wandering down Victoria Street or exploring the CBD, you can see the world-class talent that has put Hamilton on the NZ street art map.

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton is home to one of the largest concentrations of legal street art walls in the North Island? The city's "Boon" movement has turned the CBD into an open-air gallery, making it the perfect backdrop for your own creative journey! 🖌️

We love the Waikato vibe – it’s relaxed, friendly, and totally open to new ideas. Our workshops reflect that local spirit. We don't just teach you how to paint; we invite you into a culture that’s all about community, expression, and having a laugh while you're at it.
