Is the workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for all school holiday activities in Palmerston North. We provide high-quality respirators, gloves, and protective suits to keep the kids clean and safe. Our instructors are professional artists who are experienced in working with youth, ensuring a supervised environment where they can learn the proper techniques of spray painting without any risks. We also use low-odour paints where possible to keep things comfortable for everyone.

What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on! While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, sometimes a stray mist of spray paint can find its way onto shoes or sleeves. It’s all part of the creative process, but it’s best to leave the brand-new school shoes at home for this one! We’ll provide everything else they need to stay safe.

Does my child need to be good at drawing?

No prior art experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to take kids from 'never held a can' to 'creating a masterpiece' in just a couple of hours. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw simple lines—before moving on to more complex designs. It's all about having fun and expressing individual style.

How long does the school holiday session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops usually run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives the participants enough time to learn the safety rules, practice their techniques on the 'practice wall,' and then complete their final masterpiece on an individual canvas. We find this is the perfect duration to keep energy levels high and creativity flowing without the kids getting overtired from standing.

Do they get to take their artwork home?

Yes! Every participant gets to create a piece of art on a professional-grade canvas or board that they can take home at the end of the day. It’s a fantastic souvenir of their school holiday experience in Palmy and usually ends up being a proud feature on their bedroom wall! We make sure the paint is dry enough to transport safely by the time you're ready to head home.

Do I need to pay in advance to book?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your spot. We believe in our service so much that we offer 'pay after the workshop' terms. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. If plans change or the weather gets truly wild, we can easily reschedule or adjust the booking without any financial stress for you.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next holiday activity in Palmy? It’s more than just painting; it’s about building confidence and thinking outside the box! Here’s why we’re the top choice for families in the Manawatū:

Hands-on creativity: No screens, no controllers—just pure, tactile art that gets them moving and thinking. 🎤
Pro-artist mentors: Learn from the best! Our team consists of active street artists who know how to inspire and teach. 💪
Ultimate souvenir: Every child takes home their own canvas masterpiece to show off to friends and family.
Zero stress booking: No upfront payments! We trust you, and we’re confident you’ll love the experience.
Safety & Quality: We use professional gear and follow strict safety protocols, so parents can relax while the kids get busy. 🛡️
Exclusive tools: Use our Tag Creator to prep your design online before you even arrive at the workshop!

Step by step

Arrival and gear up: Meet the crew at our Palmy location. We kick things off by getting everyone into their protective suits, gloves, and masks so they look like pro street artists right from the start!
Safety briefing: Our lead artist explains the 'rules of the road.' We cover how to use the spray cans safely, environmental responsibility, and how to ensure everyone has a blast without any accidents.
Mastering the can: Before hitting the big boards, we practice. Kids learn 'can control'—how distance, speed, and finger pressure change the lines from thin drips to wide fades.
Sketching the concept: Time to get those ideas on paper. We help the students sketch out their names or a cool character, thinking about layout and letter structure.
The practice wall: Everyone gets a turn on a communal practice wall to shake off the nerves and feel the flow of the paint in a low-pressure environment.
Filling and fading: Now for the colour! We teach technical tricks like 'fades' (blending two colours) and 'fills' to make their artwork pop with vibrant energy.
The final outline: This is where the magic happens. We guide the kids through the 'power outline,' adding those crisp edges and highlights that make graffiti look professional.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the art. Then, we help pack up the gear while the masterpieces dry off.
Take home your art: Grab your custom canvas and find a spot for it on the wall at home. You're officially part of the Graffitifun crew!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 2.5 hours of pure creative flow—perfect for keeping focus high!
Group Sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 5 up to larger holiday programme blocks of 20+ kids.
What’s Included: All spray paint, high-quality canvases (to keep!), protective suits, gloves, and professional respirators.

Local culture

Palmerston North, or "Palmy" as we locals love to call it, has a surprisingly edgy art scene that goes way beyond the Rose Gardens. The city is becoming a hub for creative expression, with incredible murals popping up in Berrymans Lane and around the CBD. Our graffiti school holiday workshops tap into this local energy, giving Palmy youth a chance to contribute to the city's growing reputations for arts and culture. We love the laid-back, student-friendly vibe of the Manawatū, and our sessions reflect that relaxed but focused Kiwi spirit. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Palmerston North is home to the Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and Heritage? It’s a city that loves to learn and create, making it the perfect backdrop for a hands-on street art experience! 🏆

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art! Because we tailor every session—whether it's for a small group of mates or a massive holiday programme—prices depend on your specific group size and setup. We don't believe in hidden fees, and the best part? You don't have to pay a cent until the workshop is done and everyone is stoked with their art! 🎨🔥
