Do I need any previous art experience to join?

No worries at all! Our Dunedin workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the can to mastering complex fades. You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the techniques. By the end of the session, you'll have created a piece of art you can actually be proud of!🎨

Is it safe and do you provide protective gear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, especially for first-timers. All our instructors are experienced pros who ensure the workshop is conducted in a controlled, safe, and super fun environment for everyone involved.🛡️

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full-body overalls, graffiti can be a bit messy. Since Dunedin weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' wearing layers is always a smart move so you stay cozy while getting creative.👟

How long does the workshop session last?

The typical onboarding workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for the introduction, practicing basic techniques on plastic film, and then creating your final masterpiece on a professional canvas or board. We move at a pace that keeps the energy high without ever feeling rushed.⏱️

Where in Dunedin do the workshops take place?

In Dunedin, we love flexibility! We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spaces, or we can bring the entire setup to your location if you have a suitable outdoor area. We use mobile graffiti walls or cellophane 'walls' stretched between poles, meaning we can set up almost anywhere that has good ventilation.🚚

What is included in the workshop package?

Standard workshops include all the professional spray paint you'll need (in a huge range of vibrant colours), caps, masks, gloves, overalls, and the surface you'll be painting on. You don't need to bring a single thing except your enthusiasm and perhaps a few ideas for what you'd like to create!✨

What happens if it rains on the day?

The Southern sun can be tricky, but a little rain won't stop the art! If we're outdoors and the weather turns, we usually have backup gazebos or indoor-outdoor flow spaces arranged. For larger bookings, we always ensure there is a solid 'Plan B' location so your creative experience goes ahead rain or shine!🌦️

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Dunedin outing? It’s not just about the paint; it’s about breaking barriers and trying something totally out of the box. Here’s why our workshops are a hit:

🔥 Zero experience needed: We turn "I can't even draw a stick figure" into "Look at this masterpiece" in record time!
🎨 The ultimate stress-buster: There’s something incredibly satisfying about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of paint on a wall.
🏆 Pro mentors: Work alongside real street artists who live and breathe this culture every day.
💪 Total flexibility: We handle the logistics, the cleanup, and the gear—you just focus on the creativity.
✨ Unforgettable memories: Perfect for kids parties, company events, or even bachelor parties.
🚀 Interactive tools: Use our Tag Creator to prep your design or take our Workshop Quiz to find your perfect session style!

Step by step

The warm-up: Meet your pro artist-instructor and get a quick rundown of graffiti history and the gear we’ll be using.
Safety first: Suit up in your protective gear. We provide masks, gloves, and overalls so the only thing getting colourful is the canvas!
Can control 101: Learn the basics of how to handle a spray can, including distance, pressure, and how to swap different 'caps' for varied line widths.
The practice run: Start your first strokes on a practice wall to get a feel for the flow and the paint.
Sketching your vision: Map out your design. Whether it's a tag, a character, or an abstract piece, we'll help you refine the layout.
Fill-ins and fades: Learn how to fill large areas smoothly and create those iconic graffiti gradients and colour blends.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! Add the sharp outlines that make your artwork pop off the surface.
Highlights and details: Add the 'bits and pieces'—shines, 3D effects, and drips—to give your work that professional street art edge.
The big reveal: Step back, admire your handiwork, and grab photos with your finished masterpiece. You're officially a street artist!

Whether you're inspired by the local wildlife or the city's gothic architecture, there’s no better place to grab a can and get busy.
