What age group is best for the Dunedin graffiti workshop?

Our school holiday workshops are designed for ages 8 to 18. We find this age range has the coordination to handle the spray cans and the creativity to really dive into the design process. For younger kids, we focus more on simple shapes and safety, while teens get to learn more advanced shading and lettering techniques under the guidance of our pro artists. Everyone walks away with something they’re proud of!

Do the kids need to have any previous art experience?

Not at all! This is a total beginner-friendly zone. Our Dunedin artists break down the process into easy, bite-sized steps. We start with basic lines and circles before moving on to 'pieces' and filling. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at how much you've improved. It’s all about having a go, getting messy, and discovering your own unique street art style.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep those school uniforms or cool clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and we use low-pressure spray cans that are much easier for younger artists to control. Our instructors are also trained to supervise the group closely at all times during the spray session.

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

No worries at all! Dunedin weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' so we always have backup indoor locations or covered areas ready to go. We guarantee your workshop will proceed regardless of the drizzle. Our team will contact you before the session if there's a change of venue, ensuring the creative vibes keep flowing even if the sun isn't shining.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

The main event usually lasts between 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a sketching phase, and plenty of time on the cans. It’s the perfect duration to keep energy levels high without the kids getting worn out. We can also customise the timing if you have a specific schedule to stick to during the busy holiday break.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

We make things super easy for parents and organisers. There is no upfront payment required when you book your Dunedin school holiday workshop. You only pay after the session is complete and you're 100% happy with the experience. This takes the stress out of planning and ensures our team is fully committed to delivering a stellar, fun-filled day for the kids.

Will the kids get to take their artwork home with them?

Each participant gets to work on their own large professional-grade panel or canvas. The best part? They get to take their masterpiece home! It’s a fantastic way to remember their school holiday adventure in Dunedin. We just recommend letting the art dry for a few minutes before loading it into the car. These artworks look great on bedroom walls and serve as an awesome conversation starter.

Local culture

Dunedin is New Zealand’s original street art capital, where Victorian heritage buildings meet massive, world-class murals. From the towering pieces in the Warehouse Precinct to the hidden gems along Vogel Street, the city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local 'Edin' spirit, encouraging kids to look at their surroundings through a different lens. We’re proud to be part of the Dunedin creative community, helping youngsters discover the same passion that fuels our local street art trail.

Fun fact: Dunedin’s street art trail features work from world-renowned artists like Phlegm and ROA, making it one of the best places in the Southern Hemisphere to learn the craft! 🎨
