Is the paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! We prioritise safety above all else, especially for primary school students in Queenstown. We use low-odour, non-toxic water-based spray paint options whenever possible for younger groups. Every student is provided with a high-quality mask, gloves, and a protective suit to keep their school uniforms clean. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide constant supervision to ensure a fun, hazard-free environment.

Where in Queenstown do the workshops take place?

We are totally mobile! We can bring the entire graffiti workshop setup directly to your school grounds in Queenstown, using mobile boards or cellophane walls. Alternatively, if you'd like a Change of scenery, we can arrange a session at a local park or community space. We handle all the logistics, including floor protection and cleanup, so your school stays as tidy as we found it.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard primary school workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' for keeping younger students engaged and energised without them getting tired. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school timetable or specific event needs. Just let us know your schedule, and we will make it work seamlessly for your class.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

None at all! That is the beauty of street art—it is for everyone. Our Queenstown artists are experts at breaking down complex designs into simple shapes that even a five-year-old can master. We focus on building confidence and encouraging individual expression rather than technical perfection. Every child will leave the session feeling like a true artist with a masterpiece to show for it.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all premium spray paint, caps, safety gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and the 'canvas' (whether that is a shared wall or individual boards). We even bring the inspiration! The only thing the school needs to provide is a group of excited students and a bit of outdoor space. We take care of all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

What is the maximum group size for a school session?

We can accommodate everything from a single small class to an entire year level! For primary schools, we recommend a high instructor-to-student ratio to ensure everyone gets the help they need. For very large groups, we can run sessions in rotations throughout the day. This ensures every student in Queenstown gets a hands-on, high-quality experience without things getting too crowded or chaotic.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

If the Queenstown weather decides not to play ball, we have got you covered. We can often set up in a well-ventilated indoor area like a school hall or gym using heavy-duty drop cloths to protect the floors. Alternatively, we can use our backup artists to reschedule your session to the next available clear day. We are flexible and will work with you to ensure the kids don't miss out.

Local culture

Queenstown isn't just the adventure capital of the world—it is a hub of growing creative energy! While most people think of bungy jumping and skiing, the local street art scene is quietly booming. From the vibrant murals tucked away in the alleyways near the mall to the creative spirit of the Queenstown Arts Centre, there is plenty of inspiration for young artists. We love incorporating local elements into our workshops, like the jagged peaks of The Remarkables or the deep blues of the lake. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of our Queenstown artists draw inspiration from the shifting light on the Southern Alps? The colours of a Queenstown sunset make for the perfect graffiti palette! 🔥
