How long does a typical street art workshop last?

Standard workshops usually run for about 2 hours, but for Dunedin festivals, we can adapt to your schedule. We offer short 'drop-in' sessions of 20 minutes for high turnover, or full 3-hour deep dives for those who want to master a specific technique. We work with you to ensure the flow matches your event's rhythm and keeps the crowd buzzing.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for all participants?

Safety is our top priority, mate! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. Our artists are seasoned pros who provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, professional-grade paints and ensure the workspace is well-ventilated so everyone can focus on having a blast.

What is the minimum age to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our festival workshops are designed for everyone from little legends to grandparents. We use water-based spray cans for the younger ones if needed, and our artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. No prior art experience is required—just a positive attitude and a willingness to try something new.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

The best part about booking with us is the flexibility. You don't need to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our mahi, so you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We'll send through an invoice once the festival vibes have settled down.

What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?

Dunedin weather is famous for its 'four seasons in one day' charm! We always recommend having a gazebo or an indoor backup area like a hall or warehouse. If the weather turns truly nasty, our backup artists and flexible scheduling mean we can usually find a workaround. We’re pros at adapting to the Southern conditions to keep the art flowing.

What equipment do we need to provide?

We come fully prepared! We bring the spray cans, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be boards, plastic wrap walls, or even a legal mural space). You just need to provide the location and the enthusiastic crowd. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for festival organisers to add a high-impact creative element.

Step by step

Initial kōrero: Reach out and tell us about your Dunedin festival. We’ll discuss your vision, the expected crowd size, and the best location to set up the creative zone.
Concept design: Our artists sketch out a theme or a 'master mural' that aligns with your festival’s message or Dunedin’s local heritage.
Safe setup: On the day, we arrive early to set up protective flooring, 'walls', and our safety gear station. We ensure everything is secure and ready for action.
Artist demonstration: We kick things off with a high-energy demo, showing the crowd what's possible with a spray can and a bit of imagination.
Hands-on practice: Under our expert guidance, festival-goers grab a can and learn the basics—lines, fades, and can control—on practice boards.
The big reveal: Participants contribute to the main mural or create their own individual masterpieces to take home.
Final touches: Our pro artists add those crisp outlines and highlights that make the artwork truly pop.
Pack down: We leave the site exactly as we found it—minus the incredible new art, of course!

Local culture

Dunedin is arguably the street art capital of New Zealand, boasting a world-class trail of murals that have transformed the city's historic Victorian architecture into a living gallery. We draw inspiration from the massive works of Phlegm and Roa that already grace our streets. Our workshops are designed to celebrate this unique Southern grit and creativity.

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin is home to the steepest street in the world? Baldwin Street is a workout, but our graffiti workshops are much easier on the legs and twice as colourful! 🎨

Whether we're setting up near the Forsyth Barr Stadium or in the heart of the University area, we bring that authentic Dunedin vibe to every session. We're proud to support the local arts scene that makes this city so special.
