Do the students need to be 'artistic' to enjoy the workshop?

Not at all! Our Tauranga workshops are designed specifically for primary-aged tamariki. Our artists break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, from holding the can to creating simple shapes. We focus on building confidence and having a blast, so whether they are naturally artistic or just love getting messy, every student will walk away proud of what they’ve created.

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

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier for smaller hands to control. Our professional artists supervise the group constantly to ensure everyone follows the safety rules while having the best time ever.

Where in Tauranga do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can bring the street art experience directly to your school grounds in Tauranga using mobile wooden panels or large canvases. Alternatively, if you'd like an excursion, we can often arrange a session at a local legal street art spot. Most schools find that hosting it on-site is the easiest and most cost-effective option.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard primary school sessions usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for the safety briefing, a demonstration, practice time, and the creation of the final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit in with your school's bell schedule or specific team-building blocks.

Can you accommodate large year groups or the whole school?

We sure do! We don't believe in 'one size fits all.' Whether you have a single class of 30 or a whole year group of 100+, we can scale our team of artists to suit. For larger groups, we often run rotating stations or collaborative mural projects so that every child gets plenty of hands-on time with the paint.

Can we link the workshop to our current classroom curriculum?

Absolutely! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'Sustainability,' 'Our Community,' or 'Kiwi Identity.' Just let us know your curriculum goals beforehand, and our artists will tailor the workshop designs and discussion to reinforce what the students are currently learning in the classroom.

What happens if a student gets paint on their clothes?

While the paint on the boards dries quickly, we know school uniforms are precious! We provide protective gear, but we always recommend students wear 'old clothes' or their PE kits on workshop day just in case. Any paint on the skin is easily removed with a bit of warm soapy water and a scrub.
