What is the minimum age for the school holiday workshop?

Most kids aged 7 and up get the most out of the experience as they have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles. However, we have special low-pressure cans for the younger ones, so we can usually accommodate kids from age 6. Our artists are pros at tailoring their teaching style to match the age and skill level of every student in the group.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep everyone clean and safe. That said, graffiti is a messy business! We strongly recommend the kids wear 'play clothes' and old sneakers that you don't mind getting a little paint on. If the kids are having proper fun, a little overspray is almost inevitable, so don't send them in their Sunday best.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, water-based or acrylic spray paints where possible and provide all necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) including professional-grade masks. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to monitor the group constantly, ensuring that every participant uses the equipment correctly and safely throughout the entire session.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! Our Newcastle school holiday workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most kids who join us have never touched a spray can before. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw a simple line—before moving on to the more creative stuff. Everyone leaves with a finished piece they can be proud of.

What is your cancellation policy for holiday bookings?

We know plans can change during the school holidays. At Graffitifun, we don't require upfront payments for most bookings; you can pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to cancel or move your date, just let us know as soon as possible. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel on our end!

Can the kids take their artwork home with them?

Depending on the specific package you choose, the kids usually get to create a large-scale mural together on a dedicated wall or individual pieces on high-quality plywood or canvas boards. We love it when the kids can take their masterpieces home to show off! We’ll confirm exactly what they’ll be painting on when you make your booking based on your preferences.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops in Newcastle typically run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' where kids stay fully engaged and energised without getting tired. We can also organise longer, half-day 'intensive' sessions if you have a group of serious budding artists who want to dive deeper into advanced techniques like 3D lettering and complex stencilling.

Step by step

Arrival and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick rundown of the gear and how to stay safe while using spray cans.
The tag creator: Before picking up a can, kids brainstorm their 'street name' and practice their tag on paper to get the flow right.
Spray can basics: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching the kids about distance, speed, and cap pressure.
Outline and sketching: Moving to the wall or canvas, the kids sketch out their main design using light colours.
Fill-ins and fades: This is where the magic happens! We teach them how to blend colours and create those iconic graffiti gradients.
The power of the outline: We show them how a sharp black or white outline makes their artwork pop off the surface.
Details and highlights: Adding final touches like shines, bubbles, or characters to make the piece unique.
The big reveal: We take group photos of the completed mural or individual pieces—perfect for the Gram!
Clean up: We wrap up by packing away the gear, leaving the site as clean as we found it (except for the amazing art!).

Local culture

Newcastle has truly transformed from a gritty industrial hub into a world-class street art destination. Walking through the CBD or exploring the creative pockets of Wickham and Islington, you'll see massive murals that tell the story of Newy’s soul. Our workshops draw inspiration from the famous Big Picture Fest that brings international artists to our doorstep right here in NSW. We love teaching the next generation of West End creatives how to add their own flavour to our city's growing coffee and art culture. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Newcastle is home to some of the largest legal street art walls in Australia? The city has embraced 'street art' as a way to revitalise old laneways, making it the perfect backdrop for your kids to learn the craft!

Pricing

Our Newcastle school holiday workshops are designed to be affordable and flexible for families and holiday programs alike. Prices generally range between A$40 and A$90 per participant.

Because every group is different—from a few mates in a backyard to a massive community centre event—we calculate the best possible price based on your specific needs, group size, and location.

The best part? You don't have to pay a cent upfront. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is done! 🔥
