Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every workshop in Hamilton. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and use low-odour professional spray paints. Our facilitators are experienced artists who manage the group closely, ensuring a controlled environment where students can focus on being creative without any risks. We also provide a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken.

Where in Hamilton do the workshops take place?

We are totally mobile! We can bring the entire setup to your school grounds in Hamilton, using mobile plastic walls or large canvases. This saves you the hassle of organizing transport. Alternatively, if you'd prefer an excursion, we can arrange a session at a local legal street art spot or an indoor studio space. We're flexible to fit your school's logistical needs.

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Our workshops are designed to be inclusive for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Most students are blown away by what they can create in just two hours! It’s all about the experience, building confidence, and having a go in a supportive, high-energy environment.

How long does a typical session last?

The standard secondary school workshop usually runs for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice runs, and the creation of a final masterpiece. However, we can easily adapt the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots. Just let us know what works best for your schedule!

What materials do we need to provide?

We’ve got it covered! We provide everything: premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and the surfaces to paint on (like boards or canvases). We even bring the inspiration! All your students need to bring is some old clothes they don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on, and plenty of creative energy.

How many students can participate at once?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size. For standard school classes, we usually have a great student-to-artist ratio to ensure everyone gets hands-on help. If you have a whole year group (100+ students), we can run rotating sessions or bring in a larger team of artists to make sure the energy stays high and everyone gets a turn.

How do we book and what is the cost?

Getting a price is easy! Because every school has different needs—varying group sizes, locations, and durations—we provide custom quotes. You can use our online cost calculator for a quick estimate, or reach out to us directly. Remember, there's no upfront payment required; you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and the fun is had!

Local culture

Hamilton (or 'The Tron' to its friends) has a fast-growing street art scene that’s way more than just tags under bridges. From the stunning murals in the CBD to the creative pockets of Claudelands, Hamilton is a city that increasingly embraces urban colour. Our workshops reflect this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the Waikato river landscape and the city's bold, modern identity. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton hosts the Boon Street Art Festival? The city is becoming a massive open-air gallery, and your students could be the next generation of artists contributing to that legacy! ✨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Depending on how many students are involved and the specific setup you need, prices typically range from NZ$45 to NZ$95 per person. We believe in keeping it simple and stress-free for educators: no upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is done.
