Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Wellington workshops are designed specifically for primary-aged tamariki. No previous drawing or painting experience is needed. Our professional artists break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, ensuring every student feels confident and successful. We focus on the 'fun' in fundamentals, letting their natural creativity lead the way while we handle the technical tips and tricks.

Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our top priority. we use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks. All our instructors are experienced in working with children and maintain a strictly supervised environment. We also ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor space to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop in Wellington usually runs for about 90 minutes to 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of their final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or block periods, ensuring a seamless fit with your daily classroom schedule.

Where in Wellington do these workshops take place?

We are totally mobile! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds anywhere in the Wellington region. All we need is an outdoor area or a well-ventilated undercover space. Alternatively, if you're looking for an excursion, we can help arrange a location at one of Wellington's local community spots or legal street art areas. We bring all the gear to you!

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend students wear 'grubbies' or old clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective gear like gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable, and it's best to be safe! Comfortable closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety. Think of it as a creative 'messy play' day where getting a little paint on your sleeve is part of the fun.

Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?

Absolutely. We often work with Wellington teachers to tie our workshops into specific themes, such as 'The Environment,' 'Community,' or 'Identity.' Whether you want the kids to paint native NZ birds or reflect on school values, we can customize the session to meet your educational goals and NCEA-adjacent primary outcomes. Just let us know your ideas when booking!

How far in advance do we need to book?

Our primary school workshops are very popular in Wellington, especially during the warmer months. We generally recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. However, we have a large team of backup artists, so even if you have a last-minute request, give us a shout—we’ll always try our best to make it happen for your class!
