What happens if the Wellington weather doesn't play ball?

Wellington's weather is famous for its 'four seasons in one day' vibe! We always aim for an outdoor festival experience to get that authentic street vibe, but we have backup plans. If the wind picks up or the rain sets in, we can move the workshop to a sheltered area or provide gazebos so your creativity doesn't get dampened. We’ll keep you posted if the venue needs to shift.

I've never used a spray can before, is that okay?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to budding artists. Our expert graffiti mentors will guide you through everything from how to hold the can to mastering complex fades. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a couple of hours. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a supportive environment.

What do I need to bring with me to the workshop?

We've got you covered! We provide high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your threads clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be painting on. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on—Wellington festivals involve a bit of standing and moving!

How long does the graffiti experience actually take?

Most of our festival workshops run between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to run through the safety yarns, practice some basic techniques, and then let you loose on your own masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to get stuck into the art world without missing out on the rest of the festival's music and food stalls.

Is the spray paint safe for everyone to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our artists are trained professionals who ensure everyone follows proper handling techniques. We also keep a close eye on the group to make sure everyone is comfortable and having a great time in a safe, controlled environment.

Can we work on a big group mural together?

We sure do! While we love seeing the individual creative sparks in Wellington, we also offer collaborative murals for groups. This is a massive hit at festivals where people want to contribute to one big, vibrant piece of art. It’s a great way to meet fellow festival-goers and leave a collective mark on the event. Just let us know your preference when booking.

Do you offer customized themes for specific festivals?

While we focus on street art, we can definitely tailor the 'theme' of the workshop to suit the festival. Whether it's a celebration of Kiwi culture, a specific musical genre, or a community message, our artists can prep sketches and colours that align with the event's goals. It makes the experience feel even more integrated into the local Wellington festival scene.

Local culture

Wellington isn't just the capital of New Zealand; it's the undisputed capital of cool. From the hidden gems in Hannah's Laneway to the towering murals in Te Aro, street art is woven into the very fabric of Pōneke. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the wild coastal landscapes and the urban grit of Cuba Street. We love the way Wellingtonians embrace the unconventional, and our festival workshops are a celebration of that uniquely Kiwi 'giving it a go' attitude. 🌬️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Wellington features a 'Shark mural' that has become a local icon? Street art here is so respected that many building owners actively commission artists to transform their walls into public galleries!
