What is the minimum age for the workshop in Napier?

Our school holiday workshops are designed for ages 8 and up. Younger kids might find the spray cans a bit tricky to press, but we focus on making it accessible for everyone! It’s a fantastic way for primary and secondary students to explore a new medium that isn't usually taught in the classroom. We provide all the gear, so they just need to bring their imagination.

Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our professional artists guide everyone from total beginners to those who already have a few sketches in their notebooks. We start with the basics of 'can control' and 'caps,' ensuring every participant feels confident before they start their main piece. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the process in a supportive, creative environment right here in Hawke's Bay.

Is the paint safe and what safety gear is provided?

The safety of our participants is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas to ensure a healthy environment. Plus, our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the use of all materials closely, so you can relax knowing the kids are in good hands.

What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing 'art clothes'—things you wouldn't mind getting a tiny splash of paint on, just in case! While we provide protective overalls, spray paint is permanent, and kids can be quite enthusiastic. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are a must for safety while moving around the canvases. Aside from that, just bring a water bottle and plenty of energy for a creative session!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain won't stop the fun! If the Napier weather isn't playing ball, we have several indoor options or covered spaces across the city where we can set up our mobile boards. We ensure the ventilation is perfect so the creative vibes keep flowing even if it's pouring outside. We always coordinate with you to ensure the location is convenient and weather-proof.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard school holiday session usually lasts about 2 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques, and complete a full-scale masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired. Longer sessions can be arranged for those wanting a deeper dive into muralism.

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You don't need to pay anything upfront. Simply fill out our contact form or request a quote, and we'll confirm the availability for your preferred date. Once everything is set, you only pay after the workshop is completed. This keeps things flexible for parents and organisers during the busy holiday period. Let’s get your Napier session locked in!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next school holiday break in Napier? It's more than just painting on a wall—it's about building confidence and discovering a new way to see the world. 🎤 🔥

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of graffiti and a vital safety run-through regarding the gear.
Choosing your tag: Every artist needs a name! We help the kids brainstorm their own unique graffiti tag or nickname.
Mastering the can: We teach 'can control'—learning how to hold the spray can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure for different effects.
Sketching the design: Before hitting the big boards, we sketch out the ideas on paper to plan the layout and colours.
First lines: Its time to spray! Participants start by outlining their main shapes and letters on the workshop boards.
Filling and fading: We show the pros' secrets for filling in large areas and creating cool colour gradients and flares.
The power of the outline: We teach how a sharp second outline makes the whole piece 'pop' off the wall.
Adding the details: From highlights and sparkles to 3D shadows, this is where the character comes to life.
Group photo and cleanup: We wrap up with an epic photo session of the finished work before packing down the gear.

Local culture

Napier is famous for its stunning Art Deco architecture, but there is a growing, vibrant street art scene hidden in the laneways and alleyways that adds a modern edge to the city’s heritage. From the incredible "Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans" murals scattered around Ahuriri to the hidden gems in the CBD, Napier is the perfect backdrop for a creative explosion. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging kids to contribute to the city's artistic legacy in a constructive way. 🌊

Fun Fact: Did you know Napier hosts murals by world-renowned artists that focus on ocean conservation? It’s one of the few places in NZ where street art and environmental activism truly go hand-in-hand!

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as unique as the art we create! Prices depend on your group size, the duration, and the specific setup you're after. Whether it's a small private group or a massive community event, we’ve got options to suit.
