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

Definitely! Most of our Dunedin pop-up participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional street artists guide you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something that looks legit and professional.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your Dunedin threads clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and strictly follow local safety guidelines. Our artists are experienced facilitators who ensure a controlled, safe, and fun environment for creators of all ages and skill levels.

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our pop-up events in Dunedin, we typically recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This ensures that participants have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and can follow the safety instructions effectively. We love seeing younger kiwis getting creative, and we always tailor our teaching style to suit the age group we are working with!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Since we're in the 'Edinburgh of the South,' we know the weather can be a bit unpredictable! If our Dunedin pop-up is scheduled outdoors and the rain sets in, we usually have a creative backup plan. This might involve moving to a covered location or rescheduling to a clearer day. We’ll always keep you in the loop so your street art dreams don't get washed away.

Do we need to bring our own spray paint or gear?

We supply absolutely everything! From a wide spectrum of premium spray paint colours to protective gear, masks, and the canvases or surfaces you'll be painting on. You just need to bring your creative energy and wear comfy shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We’ve got the rest covered so you can focus on the art.

How long does a typical pop-up session last?

A standard pop-up workshop in Dunedin usually runs between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy stays high and everyone finishes their piece feeling like a legend.

How do I book and what does it cost?

The experience

Why choose a graffiti pop-up for your next Dunedin gathering? It’s more than just painting; it’s about breaking barriers and finding your flow. Here’s why it hits different:

No boundaries creativity: Forget boring canvases; spray cans offer a sense of freedom you won't find with a paintbrush. 🗽
Team bonding reimagined: Nothing brings a crew together like collaborating on a massive mural in the heart of Dunedin. 🤝
Professional vibes: You're learning from real-deal artists who live and breathe the street art culture. 🎤
Totally mobile: From Christchurch to Hamilton and everywhere in between, we bring the party to YOU. 🚐
Zero stress setup: We handle all the prep and the cleanup, so you can focus on being the next Banksy.
Guaranteed "Wow" factor: Your guests will be talking about the time they tagged a wall long after the paint has dried. 🏆

Step by step

Intro and safety gear-up: We start by getting everyone suited up in protective gear and explaining the safety basics of using spray cans.
Artist demonstration: Watch our pro artists show you the secrets of 'can control,' including how to make thin lines, fat fills, and cool gradients.
The tag practice: Grab a can and start practicing your 'tag' or signature on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and flow.
Concept sketching: Use our markers or chalk to sketch out your main design idea, ensuring your proportions are spot on before the paint hits.
Background blasters: Learn how to apply smooth background colours and 'fades' that make your main piece pop off the surface.
The main outline: This is where the magic happens! Trace your sketch with a steady hand to bring your graffiti character or name to life.
Details and 3D effects: We show you how to add highlights, shadows, and 3D 'blocks' to give your work that professional street art depth.
Final cut-backs: Use your background colour to clean up any messy lines and sharpen your edges for a crisp, high-quality finish.
Group photo and cleanup: Stand proud with your masterpiece for a group photo before we tidy up the site, leaving only the art behind!

Local culture

Dunedin is a city that punches way above its weight when it comes to the arts. From the towering heritage buildings to the hidden gems in Vogel Street, the city is a living canvas. Our pop-up events tap into this legendary Dunedin soul, merging the city's gothic charm with modern urban grit. We love setting up in places where the creative spirit of the university meets the industrial history of the wharf. ⚓️

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin is home to one of the most concentrated street art trails in New Zealand? Some of the world's most famous muralists have pieces hidden in our alleyways, making it the perfect backdrop for your own graffiti journey!

Whether you're inspired by the local wildlife or the student vibe of Castle Street, our workshops encourage you to draw from Dunedin's unique Dunedin-ness. We're proud to contribute to the local scene that makes cities like Auckland and Wellington keep a close eye on what's happening down south! 🔥

Pricing

What does a Dunedin pop-up cost? 💰

Because every pop-up event in Dunedin is unique—ranging from small birthday bashes to large-scale public festivals—we don't have a one-size-fits-all price tag. Prices depend on your group size, the amount of paint needed, and your specific setup.

The good news? You can get an instant estimate using our online tools, and we never require upfront payments. You only pay once the workshop is finished and you're 100% happy with the result!
