Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our workshop participants in Napier have never held a spray can before. Our pro artists guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a safe, supportive environment where there's no such thing as a mistake—only 'happy accidents' that add character to your piece. You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the rhythm of the spray.

What safety gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint and conduct sessions in well-ventilated areas. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly while having a blast.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard cultural event workshop usually runs for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, some practice drills to get used to the cans, and finally, the creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or time limit for your Napier event, just let us know and we can tailor the duration to suit your needs perfectly.

Where in Napier do the workshops take place?

The beauty of our Napier workshops is that they can happen almost anywhere! We can set up at your venue using mobile graffiti walls, or we can suggest various local spots that are perfect for a creative session. Whether it's an indoor warehouse or an outdoor park setting, we bring the entire studio to you, including boards, paint, and protection.

Do I need to pay upfront to secure my booking?

Nope! One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is our 'no stress' policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront. We want you to feel completely confident in your booking, so you only pay after the workshop is completed. This keeps things simple and risk-free for your event planning. Just book your date, and we’ll handle the rest.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'outdoor' clothes and closed-toe shoes. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be a bit cheeky and find its way onto shoes or exposed sleeves. Think of it as your 'art outfit'—nothing too fancy that you'd be heartbroken to see a tiny speck of colour on. We’ll take care of the rest!

Can we customise the theme of our graffiti?

Definitely! Street art is a powerful tool for storytelling and cultural expression. We can work with you to incorporate specific themes, local Napier history, or Māori motifs into the workshop. Our artists are great at helping groups translate abstract ideas or cultural values into vibrant, visual art. It’s a fantastic way to make the experience feel truly personal and grounded in Hawke's Bay.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Napier event? It’s more than just painting; it's an explosion of energy that brings people together like nothing else. Here’s why it’s a total winner:

Zero ego, all fun: Graffiti is a great equaliser. Everyone starts with a blank slate and learns a brand new skill together. 🎤
Instant satisfaction: Unlike traditional art, spray paint is fast. You see vibrant results in seconds, which keeps the energy high. 🔥
Stress-free booking: With no upfront payments and backup artists on standby, your event is in safe hands.

Perfect for all ages: From kids to grandparents, the thrill of the spray can is universal.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick rundown on how to use the gear safely.
The history of the craft: A brief, engaging chat about how street art evolved from underground tags to global cultural phenomena.
First lines: Grab a can and learn how to control the pressure. You'll practice basic lines, dots, and curves on your own section of the wall.
Concept sketching: Our artists help you sketch out your ideas. Whether it's a tag, a character, or a cultural symbol, we help you get the proportions right.
Filling and fading: Learn the 'can-control' secrets! We’ll show you how to blend colours and create those iconic smooth gradients.
The outline: This is where the magic happens. We guide you through the 'power line'—the final outline that makes your artwork pop.
Adding highlights: Learn how to use white and lighter shades to give your graffiti a 3D effect and a professional shine.
The big reveal: Step back and admire the collective masterpiece created by the group. It’s a great moment for photos!
Pack down and wrap up: We handle all the cleanup, leaving the site spotless while you head off with a massive sense of achievement.

Included: All spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, protective overalls, and professional mobile walls or canvases.
Safety first: Our team is fully trained in site safety and we use high-quality, professional gear to ensure a clean and safe environment.
Weather: If we're outdoors, we always have a backup plan or can rearrange to a covered spot if the Hawke's Bay sun takes a break.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Napier is world-famous for its Art Deco soul, but there’s a new layer of colour spreading through the streets. From the incredible murals of the Sea Walls project to the hidden gems tucked away in Ahuriri, Napier has become a destination for world-class street art. Our workshops celebrate this creative evolution, blending the city's historic aesthetic with the raw energy of modern graffiti. We love operating in a city that already appreciates the power of public art!

Fun fact: Did you know Napier hosts some of the most stunning ocean-themed murals in the Southern Hemisphere? Many of these were created to raise awareness for marine conservation, proving that street art in Napier is as much about message as it is about style! 🎨

Pricing

Every Napier event is unique! Whether you’re hosting a small cultural gathering or a massive festival, we tailor our setup to suit your vibe. Prices depend on group size, location, and the specific setup you're after. We believe in transparency and fun, which is why we don't require any payment until the job is done.
