Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Hamilton music festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our local artists walk you through every step, starting with safety and basic nozzle control. By the time the headliner hits the stage, you'll have mastered the techniques needed to create a stunning piece of street art. It's all about having a crack and enjoying the process!

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything you need to get stuck in! This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your festival gear clean. We also provide the canvases or boards for you to paint on. Just bring your energy and maybe a pair of comfortable shoes—we’ll handle the rest of the kit.

Is it safe to use spray paint at a crowded festival?

Safety is our top priority while we’re busy creating. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our experienced Hamilton instructors supervise the entire process to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We make sure the environment is as safe as it is fun for all festival-goers.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. Spray paint is permanent, and while we do our best to keep you covered, a stray mist can happen in the Kirikiriroa breeze! Leave your designer gear at the campsite and opt for something comfortable and festival-ready.

How long does the graffiti experience take?

Most festival workshops run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to go through the basics, practice some techniques, and complete a final masterpiece without making you miss too many acts on the main stage. It's the perfect creative break between bands where you can relax, recharge, and make something awesome.

Can we book a session for a large group of friends?

Yes, we love helping groups create something together! Whether you're at the festival with a big group of mates or looking for a team-bonding activity in Hamilton, we can arrange large-scale collaborative murals. Just let us know your group size when booking, and we’ll make sure there’s plenty of paint and space for everyone to contribute.

The experience

Why settle for just being a spectator when you can be the creator? Adding a graffiti workshop to a Hamilton festival isn't just about painting; it's about the adrenaline of the "hiss" of the can and the freedom of the street. 🎤

Be the Artist: Stop watching and start doing—take home your own canvas as the ultimate festival souvenir.
No Stress, All Fun: With our "no upfront payment" policy, booking is as easy as a Hamilton Sunday morning. 🏆
Expert Mentors: Learn from real-deal artists who know the local scene and the best techniques.
Zero Ghosting: We have backup artists on standby, so your workshop will never be a "no-show."
Epic Content: Create those TikTok and Insta moments that’ll make everyone who stayed home majorly jealous. 📸
All-Inclusive Kit: We provide the masks, cans, and coveralls—you just bring the creative energy!

Step by step

Gear up and get ready: Suit up in our provided overalls, masks, and gloves. Safety first, style second!
Introduction to the cans: Meet your local Hamilton pro artist and learn about different nozzles (caps) and pressure control.
Master the basic strokes: Practice making lines, dots, and fades on a practice board to find your flow.
Sketch your vision: Map out your design with a light 'ghost' layer of paint before committing to the bold colours.
Fill it in: Go wild with our massive range of spray colours to bring your creation to life.
The sharp outline: Use a high-contrast colour to define your shapes and make the artwork pop off the canvas.
Add the 'flavour': Learn how to add highlights, shadows, and those signature drips that give graffiti its edge.
The final reveal: Step back, admire your work, and grab a photo with your masterpiece before heading back to the mosh pit.
