Do I need any prior art experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely not! Our Rotorua retreats are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. Most of our guests haven't picked up a spray can since their school days, so you'll be in great company. The focus is on having a blast and expressing yourself in a relaxed, supportive environment. 🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe? (Gear and ventilation)

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated areas. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. You can focus entirely on your masterpiece knowing that we’ve taken care of all the technical and safety details for you. 🛡️

How long does a creative retreat session usually last?

A typical creative retreat workshop in Rotorua lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for the introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your individual or group masterpiece. If you're looking for a more intensive experience, we can often extend the session to include more complex mural work or additional creative exercises. Just let us know what fits your schedule! ⏱️

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are super flexible with group sizes! Whether you are a small team of 10 or a large corporate group of over 100, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists and set up multiple stations to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on time and personal guidance. Rotorua has some fantastic venues that can handle groups of almost any size imaginable. 👨👩👧👦

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Rotorua weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We always have backup plans, including indoor venues or sheltered outdoor spots. Because we have multiple artists on standby, we never cancel due to artist availability either. Your creative retreat will go ahead rain or shine, ensuring your team building or group event stays right on track! 🌦️

Is this legal? Where does the workshop take place?

While we love the vibe of Rotorua's streets, our workshops are conducted legally on mobile walls, canvases, or designated legal street art zones. We provide all the gear, so you get the authentic 'street' experience without any of the legal worries. It's a great way to learn about the culture and techniques of graffiti while respecting the local community and beautiful Bay of Plenty surroundings. ✌️

The experience

Why settle for a standard retreat when you can do something that actually gets people talking? Graffiti art is the ultimate equaliser—it levels the playing field, builds confidence, and creates massive smiles. Here is why our Rotorua workshops are a hit:

🚀 Boost Team Morale: Nothing says "we're in this together" like co-creating a giant mural.
🔥 Unleash Hidden Talents: You'll be amazed at the artistic skills your team members have been hiding!
🌈 Stress Relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and a wall of colour.
📸 Epic Memories: Your group will walk away with photos (and often canvases) that look amazing on social media or the office wall.
🏆 Zero Stress Planning: We handle all the setup and cleanup. You just turn up and get creative!
💪 Professional Guidance: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe this culture.

Step by step

The warm-up: We kick things off with a quick intro to graffiti culture and a safety briefing to get everyone comfortable.
Design session: Grab a sketchbook! You'll brainstorm ideas and sketch out your tag or piece with guidance from our pros.
Can control: Learn the basics of spray painting, including how to create thin lines, fat fills, and smooth gradients.
First strokes: Head to the wall or canvas to start your outline. This is where the adrenaline really kicks in!
Fill and flare: Add vibrant colours to your design. Our artists will show you how to blend shades for that pro look.
The outline & highlights: Sharp outlines and 'power lines' make your art pop. This step brings the whole piece together.
Final touches: Add stencils, drips, or sparkles to give your masterpiece its own unique personality.
Group gallery: We wrap up by admiring everyone's work, taking epic group photos, and celebrating your new skills!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2.5 hours, but we can tailor it to your retreat schedule.
Group sizes: From small groups of 10 to large events of 100+ participants.
Included: All premium spray paint, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and canvases/boards.
Location: We are mobile! We can come to your resort, hotel, or a local Rotorua park.
Safety: Professional artists always on site with a full safety briefing provided.
Flexibility: No upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is done!

Local culture

Rotorua isn't just about the bubbling mud pools and incredible geysers (though they are pretty spectacular!). There is a deep, rhythmic pulse of creativity here, rooted in rich Māori culture and a growing contemporary art scene. You can see it in the intricate carvings at Ohinemutu and the bold, modern murals popping up around the CBD. Bringing a graffiti workshop to Rotorua feels natural—it's another way to tell a story and leave a visual legacy in a city that breathes history and art. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Rotorua is home to the stunning "Arts Village"? It’s a creative hub that proves this city is just as passionate about the paintbrush as it is about the thermal springs!

By choosing a retreat experience here, you’re tapping into a unique local vibe that balances high-energy adventure with deep, soulful creativity. We love working in the Bay of Plenty because the atmosphere is always electric and the locals truly appreciate the power of public art. ✨

Pricing

We believe every creative retreat should be unique, so we don't do "one size fits all" pricing. Our rates are competitive and depend on your group size, location within Rotorua, and any specific customisations you need. The best part? You don't have to pay anything upfront—we only settle the bill once the workshop is complete and you're 100% happy with the result. 💸
