Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Kokopo retreat workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can techniques and moving on to advanced layering. Most of our participants haven't picked up a spray can since childhood, and they always leave amazed at what they've managed to create on the canvas. It's all about the process and having a blast!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety while working outdoors. Think of it as a creative adventure—dress for the tropical climate of East New Britain but keep practicality in mind so you can move freely!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade respirators/masks, protective gloves, and overalls to keep you safe and clean. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, covering proper ventilation and handling techniques. We use high-quality paints and ensure our outdoor workshop spaces in Kokopo are well-ventilated and secure, allowing you to focus entirely on your creative expression without any worries.

How long does the session last?

A standard retreat workshop session typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day experience as part of a larger corporate retreat, we can certainly customise the duration to fit your schedule. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping the energy high and the creativity flowing.

What is the maximum group size?

We are highly flexible! Whether you are a small team of 10 or a large organisation with 100+ members, we can accommodate your group. For larger retreats in Kokopo, we often bring in multiple professional artists to ensure everyone gets personalised attention and guidance. We can split large groups into smaller 'crews' to foster teamwork and healthy competition, making sure the atmosphere remains intimate and engaging regardless of the total headcount.

What happens if it rains on the day?

In the rare event that rain hits Kokopo, we have you covered. We always arrange for sheltered outdoor areas or large, well-ventilated indoor spaces to ensure the workshop goes ahead rain or shine. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we almost never cancel a session. You can book with total confidence knowing that your creative retreat experience is protected against the unpredictable tropical weather.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! Simply reach out to us via our contact form to request a quote. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and you're 100% satisfied. We'll discuss your group size, preferred location in Kokopo, and any specific themes you want to explore to provide a tailored estimate. Once you're happy with the plan, we'll lock in your date!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti-themed retreat in Kokopo? Because traditional workshops are a thing of the past! Our sessions are designed to spark joy and foster a sense of accomplishment that lasts long after the paint has dried. 🔥

Total Creative Freedom: There are no mistakes in street art, only "happy accidents" and layers of style! 🎨
Stress Relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the flow of colour. 🧘
Team Synergy: Collaborative murals require communication and trust—it’s the ultimate bonding exercise. 🤝
Professional Mentors: Our artists aren't just painters; they are passionate teachers who live for that "aha!" moment. 🎤
Unique Souvenirs: You don't just leave with memories; you leave with a physical piece of art created by your own hands. 🏆
Zero Risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy and backup artists, your event is guaranteed to be a success. 💪

Step by step

Meet your crew: Gather at our designated Kokopo art space for a warm welcome and an intro to the world of street art.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suits, gloves, and masks while our pros walk you through the safety essentials.
The art of the can: Learn how to hold, aim, and control the pressure of a spray can to create different lines and effects.
Sketching the vision: Work with our artists to sketch out your design concepts on paper before moving to the big canvas.

The sharp edge: Use 'cutting' and outlining techniques to make your graffiti art pop and look professionally polished.
Final flourishes: Add those essential highlights and 'shines' that give street art its signature 3D energy.
The big reveal: Step back and admire your group's collective masterpiece against the stunning Kokopo backdrop.

Local culture

Kokopo is a city built on resilience and vibrant culture, rising from the volcanic ash of Rabaul to become a bustling hub of creativity. The local art scene is deeply rooted in traditional patterns and storytelling, which we love to blend with modern street art techniques. Imagine spraying your masterpiece with the silhouette of the Tavurvur volcano in the distance! 🌋

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kokopo is famous for its incredible masks and the "Duk-Duk" secret society? The intricate designs found in local crafts offer amazing inspiration for the patterns we use in our graffiti workshops!

While you're here for your retreat, you can also explore other creative formats like 3D street art or plan a visit to nearby cities like Port Moresby or Lae.
