What is the age limit for the Hamilton school holiday workshop?

Our graffiti workshops are designed for kids and teens aged 7 and up. It’s a great way for them to express themselves in a safe, guided environment. We use water-based spray cans when possible or ensure high-quality ventilation and protective gear for traditional paints. Whether they are primary schoolers or teenagers, our artists adapt the teaching style to match their skill level and attention span, keeping everyone stoked and engaged throughout the session.

Do the kids need any prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! This workshop is perfect for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists start with the basics, like how to hold a spray can and control the pressure. We guide the students through sketching their ideas before they ever touch the wall or canvas. By the end of the session, even those who thought they weren't 'artistic' are usually blown away by the masterpiece they've managed to create.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the group closely, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast. We also choose our painting locations carefully and use professional-grade materials that meet safety standards, so parents can have total peace of mind while the kids get creative.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'old' clothes and sturdy sneakers. Even though we provide protective overalls, graffiti can be a bit messy, and there’s always a small chance a stray drop of paint might find its way onto shoes or sleeves. It’s best to dress for a bit of a creative mess! Avoid wearing your brand-new kicks or favourite designer hoodie. Once they are geared up in our suits, they’ll look like pro artists!

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Each workshop typically runs for about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of their main artwork. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high without the kids getting too tired. If you have a specific time requirement for a larger group or a full-day programme, just let us know and we can customise the duration.

What happens if we need to cancel or if the artist is sick?

We know plans can change during the school holidays! One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. Plus, we have backup artists available, so even if an instructor gets sick, we won't cancel on you. We want your Hamilton holiday experience to be as stress-free and reliable as possible.

Can control 101: We head to the practice wall to learn lines, dots, and fading – the bread and butter of street art.
Outline and fill: Time to go big! Students start placing their main design onto the canvas or wall using their new skills.
Adding the details: This is where the magic happens. We teach them how to add highlights and shadows to make the art 'pop'.
The finishing touch: A final clean outline makes the whole piece look professional and sharp.
Photo op: We take group and individual photos of the crew with their masterpieces to show off to friends and family.
Clean up: We pack up the gear, leaving the workspace tidy and the kids with a huge sense of achievement.
