Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! No prior painting experience is needed for our Napier summer camp sessions. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We guide the youth from basic spray can control to creating their own vibrant masterpieces. It’s all about building confidence, exploring creativity, and having a blast in a supportive environment. Everyone leaves feeling like a pro!

Is the spray paint safe for youth to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls, to keep everyone clean and safe. All our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, often outdoors to enjoy the Hawke's Bay sunshine. Our artists are experienced in supervising groups and ensure that all equipment is used correctly and responsibly throughout the entire creative process.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Weather in Napier is usually stunning, but if the rain decides to show up, we’ve got it covered. We can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use an indoor space with proper ventilation using special low-odour water-based paints. We track the forecast closely and will coordinate with you to ensure the summer camp activities go ahead smoothly, rain or shine.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard summer camp graffiti workshops typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the participants enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their 'can control', sketch out their ideas, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. We can also customise the duration to fit into your specific camp schedule if you need something shorter or longer.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s large wooden panels, canvases, or a temporary wall setup. You don't need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm and some old shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

What should the participants wear?

We suggest that participants wear comfortable clothes and shoes that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy when the creative juices are flowing! It’s best to leave the brand-new sneakers at home and opt for something practical for an active, outdoor art session.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible with group sizes! Whether you have a small group of 10 or a massive camp of 100+ youth, we can scale our team of artists to match. For larger groups, we often work in rotations or create big collaborative murals so everyone gets plenty of hands-on time with the spray cans and personal guidance from our mentors.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Napier summer camp? Because it’s more than just painting—it’s about building confidence and teamwork in an environment where there are no "wrong" lines. ✨

Hands-on creativity: Participants get to use professional tools to create something massive and colourful. 🎨
Boosts confidence: Seeing a sketch turn into a huge wall mural gives youth a massive sense of achievement. 💪
Teamwork focused: Our collaborative mural projects teach campers how to communicate and work together towards a shared vision. 🤝
Authentic experience: Learn real street art techniques from professional artists who live and breathe this culture. 🎤
Safe and controlled: We provide a structured environment where youth can express themselves without the "naughty" stigma of illegal graffiti. 🏆
Instagrammable moments: The final artworks make for the ultimate camp photos that kids (and parents) will love to share. 📸

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro, meeting the artists and learning how to handle the gear safely.
Street art history: A quick, engaging chat about how graffiti evolved from underground tags to world-class gallery art.
The first spray: Kids learn 'can control'—practising how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients on a practice wall.
Sketching ideas: Everyone grabs paper and markers to map out their designs, focusing on 'wildstyle' letters or characters.
Outline and fill: Time to hit the main surface! Participants start by outlining their designs and filling them with bold, vibrant colours.
Adding the 'pop': We teach them how to add 3D effects, shadows, and highlights to make their artwork jump off the wall.
The final outline: Using a steady hand, we add the final dark outline to sharpen up the piece and make it look professional.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a big group photo in front of the mural before tidying up the site.
Taking it home: If we’ve worked on canvases or portable panels, the campers get to take their masterpiece home to show off!

Local culture

Napier is famous worldwide for its stunning Art Deco architecture, but there is a thriving modern street art scene pulsing through the city's veins. From the vibrant murals of the "Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans" project to the hidden gems in the Iron Pot area of Ahuriri, Napier is a canvas waiting to be explored. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, blending the city's artistic history with modern urban techniques.

Fun fact: Did you know Napier has one of the highest concentrations of world-class murals in New Zealand? It’s the perfect backdrop for youth to find their own creative voice while surrounded by professional inspiration!
