Do I need any prior art experience to join a workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our Wellington workshop participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional street artists specialize in teaching beginners the fundamentals. We start with basic nozzle control and line work before moving on to more complex patterns and shading. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something awesome under our guidance. It's all about having fun and letting your creativity flow in a supportive environment. ✨

Are the spray cans and materials safe to use?

The safety of our budding artists is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure a clean and safe environment. We use professional-grade spray cans in well-ventilated outdoor or indoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session, covering everything from proper can handling to keeping the workspace tidy. You're in safe hands with the Graffitifun crew! 🛡️

What should I wear to my graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic flair' on. While we provide protective gear, graffiti can sometimes be messy! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Wellington weather can be a bit unpredictable (four seasons in one day, right?), it’s always a good idea to bring a light jacket or layers if we are working at an outdoor location. 👟

How long does a typical session last?

A standard onboarding workshop in Wellington typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, practice different techniques on the practice wall, and complete your final masterpiece. If you have a specific time frame in mind for a team-building event or a party, we can definitely tailor the duration to fit your schedule perfectly. ⏱️

Can you host the workshop at my own location?

Yes, we love a good road trip! While we have amazing spots in Wellington, we are fully mobile. We can bring the entire graffiti experience to your office, school, or a private venue across the Wellington region and beyond. As long as there is adequate ventilation and permission to paint, we can set up our mobile 'street art studio' almost anywhere to bring the vibes to you. 🚐

What is the minimum or maximum group size? 👨👩👧👦

We pride ourselves on being flexible. Whether you're a small group of friends or a large corporate team of 100+, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one coaching and attention. No group is too big or too small for a bit of creative spray-painting action! 🎨

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best parts about booking with Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments—you simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure that your event goes ahead even if an instructor catches a bug. Your creative experience is our commitment! ✅

Local culture

Wellington is world-renowned for its creative soul, and our graffiti workshops tap right into that "Windy City" energy. From the iconic murals lining Hannahs Laneway to the ever-changing art in the Cuba Street precinct, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops celebrate this local heritage, often drawing inspiration from the bold Māori motifs and Pacific influences that make Kiwi street art so unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Wellington's "Shark Wall" or the various hidden gems by the waterfront are part of a city-wide effort to embrace street art as a way to prevent tagging? Our workshops teach you the difference between vandalism and the beautiful street art that defines Wellington's urban landscape! 🦈✨
