Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Our creative retreat workshops are designed specifically for beginners! Most participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional Hamilton artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing and technique demonstration at the start. You'll learn how to control the nozzle, create different line widths, and blend colours. We guide you every step of the way, ensuring you leave with a piece of art you're genuinely proud of.🎨

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint and usually conduct workshops in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces. Our experienced instructors are always on hand to ensure everyone is using the equipment correctly and staying safe throughout the entire creative process.🛡️

How long does a typical Hamilton retreat workshop last?

Generally, we recommend allowing 2 to 3 hours for a full retreat experience. This gives your group enough time to get through the introduction, learn the essential skills, brainstorm a creative concept, and execute the final masterpiece. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit your specific retreat itinerary, but we find this timeframe offers the best balance of relaxation and creative accomplishment.⏱️

When do we need to pay for the workshop?

We believe in a stress-free booking experience, so no upfront payment is required to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with the result. We accept bank transfers and major credit cards. This 'pay-later' policy ensures you can book with total confidence, knowing that we are fully committed to delivering a 5-star experience for your crew.💳

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

The Tron's weather can be a bit unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! If you have an indoor venue, we can set up protective plastic sheeting and use low-odour paints. If your event was planned for outdoors and rain is forecast, we can often relocate to a sheltered spot or reschedule. Plus, we always have backup artists ready to go, so your event will never be cancelled from our end.weather 🌧️

Can you host the workshop at our specific retreat location?

Absolutely! Our retreat workshops are designed to be mobile. Whether you are staying at a lodge in Tamahere, a conference centre in the CBD, or a private property near the Waikato River, we can bring the entire street art studio to you. All we need is a bit of space and some fresh air, and we'll take care of all the setup and pack-down.truck 🚛

Are there minimum or maximum group sizes?

For the best experience, we suggest a minimum group size of 10 people, but we can accommodate very large groups of up to 100+ by bringing in extra artists. The cost per person generally decreases as your group size increases. If you have a particularly small or massive group, just reach out to us, and we will create a bespoke plan that fits your Hamilton retreat perfectly.👥

Stepping away from the daily grind is essential for fresh thinking. Here is why a graffiti workshop is the ultimate addition to your Hamilton retreat:

Local culture

Hamilton (or Kirikiriroa) has come a long way from its sleepy river-town roots. Today, the city is a canvas for world-class street art, thanks to events like the Boon Street Art Festival which has transformed blank walls in the CBD into stunning murals. From the vibrant alleyways near Victoria Street to the epic scales of the buildings in the West End, Hamilton’s urban landscape is buzzing with creative energy. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton is home to the world-famous 'Riff Raff' statue? Just like that iconic piece of pop culture, the city prides itself on being a bit quirky and unexpectedly artistic. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, letting you contribute to the "Hamilton vibe" in your own unique way.

Pricing

Our Hamilton retreat workshops are competitively priced to suit different group sizes and needs:

Price Range: NZ$45 – NZ$95 per person.
What influences price? Group size, duration, and whether you want individual canvases or a large-scale mural.
No Upfront Cost: Book your date today and pay only after the workshop is finished!
