What is the minimum age for the school holiday workshop?

Our workshops are designed for kids and teens aged 7 and up. Because spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination, younger tamariki might find it a bit tricky, but we’re always there to lend a hand! It's a fantastic way for different age groups to mingle and share creative ideas in a safe, supportive Tauranga environment. No prior art experience is needed—just a positive vibe and a willingness to try something new!

Do the kids need any previous drawing or art skills?

Not at all! This is a beginner-friendly environment. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to mastering simple lines. We find that kids who think they aren't 'artsy' often have the most fun because graffiti is more about flow and confidence than traditional drawing skills. By the end of the session, they'll be amazed at the masterpiece they've created from scratch.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep the paint on the canvas and off the clothes! Our spray paints are selected for their quality, and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. A professional artist supervises the group at all times to ensure everyone uses the gear correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'play clothes' and old sneakers just in case. While we provide protective overalls, graffiti can be a messy business, and it’s better to be safe than sorry with a stray drip of paint! Check the weather too—if it’s a sunny Tauranga day, bring a hat and some sunblock, as we’ll likely be catching some rays while we work on our murals.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard school holiday sessions usually run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the history of the craft, practice their techniques on a practice wall, and then complete their final masterpiece on a personal canvas. It’s the perfect duration to keep the energy high and the focus sharp without the kids getting worn out!

How does the payment process work and can I cancel?

No upfront payment is required when you book! We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the session is complete. This takes the stress out of holiday planning. If your plans change, just let us know. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you don't have to worry about last-minute cancellations ruining the holiday fun.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your school holiday activity? Because we don't just teach art—we build confidence and let kids express themselves in a way traditional classrooms don't allow. ✨

Guided by the pros: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active street artists who know all the tricks of the trade.
Zero stress for parents: We provide everything from the paint to the protective gear—no messy clean-up for you!
Take-home art: Every participant leaves with their own custom-painted canvas to hang on their bedroom wall. 🏆

No-risk booking: With our pay-later policy and backup artists, your holiday plans are in safe hands.
Tauranga local vibe: We love our city and tailor our sessions to the local energy and culture of the Bay.

Step by step

The classic intro: We kick things off with a brief history of street art and a safety briefing to get everyone in the zone.
Meet your tools: Kids get hands-on with the cans, learning about different nozzles (caps) and how they change the spray.
Practice makes perfect: Before hitting the final canvas, everyone practices basic strokes, circles, and fills on a shared practice wall.
Sketching the vision: Our artists help each student map out their design, focusing on 'tags' or 'pieces' that reflect their personality.
First layers: It’s time to spray! Participants start with their background colours and main shapes.
Adding the 'pop': We teach techniques for shadowing, highlighting, and 3D effects to make the art jump off the surface.
The clean outlines: This is where the magic happens—sharpening up those edges for a professional look.
Final touches: A bit of 'freestyle' time to add splatters, bubbles, or extra details.
Show and tell: We wrap up with a group photo and the best part—everyone gets to take their own masterpiece home!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 2.5 hours of pure creative flow.
Group sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 10 to large holiday programmes of 50+.
What’s included: All premium spray paint, personal canvases, gloves, masks, and protective overalls.
