Do I need any previous art experience to join in?

Nope, you don't need to be the next Banksy to have a blast with us! Our Wellington workshop is designed for absolute beginners. Our pro artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to creating clean lines and fills. It's all about having a go and enjoying the festival vibes. Before you know it, you'll be creating something you're actually proud of!

What materials do you provide for the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your festival gear clean. We also provide the canvases or boards for you to paint on. Just bring your creativity and maybe some sunblock if it's a typical bright Wellington day. We’ve got the technical stuff sorted so you can just focus on the art.

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

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced pros who keep a close eye on the group. Because we’re outdoors at a music festival, there’s plenty of ventilation. It’s a safe, controlled environment where you can let your creativity run wild without any worries.

Can we book this as a large group of friends?

Absolutely! Festivals are all about the 'more the merrier' spirit. We can accommodate everything from small groups of mates to huge festival crowds. For large scale events in Wellington, we often set up multiple 'stations' or a giant communal mural wall so everyone gets a turn. If you’ve got a massive group coming, just let us know in advance so we can ensure we have enough paint and artists on hand.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard workshop sessions usually run between 1.5 to 2 hours, which is the perfect sweet spot to learn the techniques and finish a piece without missing too much of the main stage lineup. However, for music festivals, we’re flexible. We can run 'drop-in' style sessions throughout the day or structured workshops. We work around the festival schedule to make sure the timing is spot on for your event.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

In the spirit of a true Kiwi festival, we don't let a bit of drizzle stop the fun! We usually set up under marquees or gazebos to keep the artists and the art dry. If the Wellington wind gets a bit too 'Wellington' (you know what we mean!), we have backup plans and weighted setups to ensure everything stays safe and secure. The show—and the spray—must go on!

The experience

Looking for a way to make your event stand out from the crowd? Here’s why our graffiti workshops are the ultimate festival add-on:

Epic festival vibes: Nothing says "festival" like a wall of vibrant, fresh street art being created live to the beat. 🎤
Zero gatekeeping: Art is for everyone! We break down the barriers so anyone can feel like a pro for a day.
Perfect social fodder: Your guests will be flooding their feeds with photos of their creations (and your awesome event). 📸
Stress-free for you: We handle everything from setup to pack-down. Just show us our spot and we'll do the rest.
Pro artists only: Learn from the best in the business—our artists are passionate, friendly, and hugely talented. ✨
Memorable keepsakes: Participants can take their canvases home, or we can create a giant communal mural for the festival to keep.

Step by step

Gear up: Grab your protective apron, gloves, and mask from our crew. We keep your festival outfit looking sharp while you get messy.
Art of the can: Your pro instructor will show you the ropes—how to shake the can, control the pressure, and swap nozzles for different effects.
Sketching the vibe: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design on the board. Need inspo? Think about the music pumping in the background!
The first layer: Start filling in your large shapes. This is where you get a feel for the flow and the vibrant colours available.
Cutting in: Learn 'cutting' techniques to sharpen your edges and make your piece pop against the background.
Adding details: Use skinny caps for the fine lines, highlights, and those little flares that make graffiti look professional.
The tag: Every artist needs a signature. Learn how to create your own unique tag to sign off your masterpiece.
The big reveal: Step back, admire your work, and snap a pic for the 'gram. Your creation is ready for the festival spotlight!

Local culture

Wellington isn't just the 'Windy City'—it's the creative capital of Aotearoa. From the iconic murals of Ghuznee Street to the hidden gems in the laneways of Te Aro, street art is baked into the city's DNA. Our workshops celebrate this local heritage, bringing that authentic 'Welly' edge to every festival we attend. We love the local vibe, from the craft beer culture to the world-class coffee that fuels our artists.

Fun Fact: Did you know Wellington has one of the highest concentrations of street art per square kilometre in New Zealand? It’s basically a giant open-air gallery, making it the perfect place to pick up a spray can for the first time! 🌬️🎨
