Is the paint safe for primary school kids?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are water-based or low-pressure professional cans designed for ease of use. Our tutors are experts at managing groups of children and ensure that everyone stays safe, follows the rules, and—most importantly—has a blast while creating their art.

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Not at all! Our Dunedin workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps that even a five-year-old can follow. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to filling in colours and adding those cool final details. Every student will walk away feeling like a proper street artist!

Where in Dunedin do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible. We can bring our mobile cellophane walls to your school field or playground, or we can host the session at a local Dunedin street art spot. If the Otago weather decides to be a bit 'Dunedin' (rainy!), we can set up in a well-ventilated school hall or under a large canopy. We always have a literal 'Plan B' for the weather!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard primary school session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a brief history of street art, a demonstration, and plenty of hands-on painting time. We can adjust the duration to fit into your school’s specific timetable or period blocks if needed.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! This includes all the spray paint, caps, gloves, masks, and protective ponchos. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s a temporary film wall, large wooden boards, or individual canvases for the kids to take home. You just need to make sure the students wear old clothes and shoes, just in case!

Are your instructors experienced with children?

Absolutely. All of our lead artists are thoroughly vetted and have experience working with children in educational settings. We maintain a high ratio of instructors to students to ensure everyone gets the guidance they need. We’re all about creating a positive, encouraging environment where every student feels confident to express their unique creativity.

The experience

Why bring a graffiti workshop to your Dunedin school? It’s more than just painting walls; it’s about building confidence and seeing the world through a different lens. Here is why schools love working with us:

🔥 Instant Engagement: Even the students who usually "don't like art" get obsessed with spray cans. It’s impossible not to have fun!
🎨 Boosts Creativity: There are no mistakes in street art—only new directions. It’s a great way to encourage "outside the square" thinking.
🤝 Team Building: Collaborative murals teach kids how to work together to create something bigger than themselves.
🛡️ A Safe Space: We provide a controlled, legal environment for kids to learn about an art form that is often misunderstood.
🏆 Professional Mentors: Our artists aren't just good with a can; they're great at inspiring kids and sharing their passion.
✅ Zero Stress for Teachers: We bring everything and handle the setup and cleanup. You just get to enjoy the "Coolest Teacher" status!

Step by step

Initial enquiry: Reach out to us with your preferred dates and the number of students. We’ll help you pick the best workshop package for your Dunedin school.
The prep: We send you a simple prep kit. You just need to ensure the kids wear old clothes (things they don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on).
Intro & history: On the day, our artists start with a fun, age-appropriate chat about the history of graffiti and how it evolved into the street art we see in Dunedin today.
Safety first: We kit everyone out in masks, gloves, and suits. We teach the kids how to handle the cans properly and respect the art space.
Technique demo: Our pros show off some basic skills—lines, dots, and fades—using our special low-pressure cans that are easy for small hands to control.
Sketching the vision: Students start by sketching their ideas or 'tags' on paper or directly onto the surface with light colours.
The Big Paint: This is the best part! The kids get to spray their designs, layering colours and bringing their imagination to life under our expert guidance.
Final touches: We help the students add outlines and highlights to make their artwork really 'pop'.
Clean up & Gallery: We handle the tidy-up, leaving the kids to admire their masterpieces and take some epic group photos!

Good to know

We’ve been doing this for years, so we’ve got the logistics down to a fine art. Here’s what you need to know about a Graffitifun session:

Duration: Typically 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can flex to fit your school bell. 🎤
Group Sizes: We can handle anything from a small art club to a full year group (spread across multiple sessions). 💪
Inclusions: All spray paint, safety gear (masks/gloves/suits), and painting surfaces are included. 🏆
Safety: We use age-appropriate equipment and have full public liability insurance and safety protocols in place.
Weather: We have indoor and outdoor setups to ensure the Dunedin drizzle never stops the fun.

Local culture

Dunedin is secretly one of the coolest street art hubs in the Southern Hemisphere! While the city is famous for its heritage buildings, the Dunedin Street Art Trail has transformed old brick walls into world-class masterpieces. Our workshops draw inspiration from the incredible murals found around Vogel Street and the Warehouse Precinct. We love telling the kids about how local and international artists have turned Dunedin into a giant outdoor gallery. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin is home to some of the tallest street art murals in New Zealand? Some of them are over five stories high! While we keep our primary school workshops a bit closer to the ground, we definitely aim for that same 'wow' factor. ✨

Pricing

Every school is different—some want a massive collaborative mural on a courtyard wall, while others want individual canvases for every child to take home. Because of this, we don't have a 'one size fits all' price tag. 💸

Prices depend on group size and setup—request a quote today!

The best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is done and the kids are beaming with pride. Give your students a day they'll never forget!
