Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our Rotorua workshops are designed specifically for primary school kids who have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists provide a full safety briefing and step-by-step techniques. We focus on the 'fun' in fundamentals, ensuring every student feels like a creative superstar by the end of the session, regardless of their initial drawing skills.

Is it safe for primary school children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos for every student. We also use specialized low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control. All workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces, and our artists are trained in managing group safety at all times.

What should the students wear on the day?

We don't want the kids' school uniforms getting ruined! While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, we always recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or older sneakers on the day of the workshop. Spray paint is permanent, and while we take every precaution, a little bit of 'creative mess' is always a possibility when kids are having this much fun.

Can the workshop be held at our school?

Absolutely. We are more than happy to come to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor area or a very well-ventilated shed or hall. Alternatively, we can arrange a local spot in Rotorua if your school doesn't have the space. We bring all the boards, paint, and gear with us, so the setup is easy for you.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually runs between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final group masterpiece or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit in with your school's specific bell schedule or morning tea breaks.

What happens to the artwork after the workshop?

We offer two main options. Students can either work together on one large, impressive mural that stays at the school as a permanent piece of art, or they can each work on their own individual canvas or board to take home. Many Rotorua schools love the mural option as it builds a sense of community and leaves a lasting legacy.

What is your booking and payment policy?

The best part about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking; you only pay once the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. If the weather in Rotorua turns sour, we can either move to a covered area or reschedule. We also have backup artists ready to go so your event is never cancelled.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school? It’s more than just painting on walls; it’s about expression, teamwork, and smashing through creative barriers. Here’s why Rotorua teachers love working with us:

Confidence Booster: Seeing a giant piece of art come to life gives kids a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Cultural Connection: We encourage students to weave local Rotorua stories and symbols into their designs.
Hands-On Learning: It’s a physical, tactile experience that engages students who might struggle in a traditional classroom setting.
Zero Stress for You: We bring all the gear, set it all up, and take care of the clean-up. No mess, no fuss! ✨
Teamwork in Action: Building a mural requires communication and collaboration—the ultimate team-building exercise.
Safe & Professional: Our artists are pros at managing high-energy groups and keeping everything safe and positive.

Step by step

Intro & Gear Up: We start with a high-energy intro where kids meet their artist and suit up in protective masks, gloves, and ponchos. ✨
Safety First: Before anyone touches a can, we go over the "golden rules" of spray painting and how to respect the environment and local community.
The Tag Creator: Using our digital Tag Creator concept, students brainstorm their "street name" or a positive word that represents them or their school.
Can Control: We teach the basics! Kids learn how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different lines and dots on practice boards. 🔥
Sketching the Vision: Our artists help the students sketch out their big design, whether it's a collaborative mural or individual pieces.
Adding the Colour: This is where the magic happens. We guide them through filling in colours, creating fades, and adding those cool "drip" effects. 🎨
The Outline: We show them how to make their art "pop" with sharp outlines and highlights—the secret to professional-looking street art!
The Big Reveal: Once the paint is dry, we step back for a group photo and a celebration of the amazing work the tamariki have created. 🏆

Local culture

Rotorua isn't just about the geothermal wonders and the smell of sulphur—it's a city with a deep, pulsing heart of Māori culture and contemporary creativity. From the incredible murals decorating the CBD to the artistic vibes of the Government Gardens area, Rotorua serves as the perfect backdrop for young artists to find their voice. 🌋

In our workshops, we often draw inspiration from the natural beauty of the Whakarewarewa Forest and the local legends that make this city unique. We encourage students to blend traditional Māori patterns with modern street art styles, creating a unique "Roto-Vibe" that honors the past while embracing the future.

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of Rotorua's most famous murals were created by international artists who fell in love with the city's unique cultural landscape? Creative energy is literally in the air here! ✨

Pricing

We believe in keeping things simple and transparent for our Rotorua schools. Because every school project is unique—from individual canvases to whole-school murals—our pricing is customized to your needs. 💰

The best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is finished and your students are buzzing with pride. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists to ensure your scheduled day goes ahead no matter what.
