What is included in the Auckland graffiti workshop?

Everything you need to unleash your inner artist is included in the price. We provide all the professional-grade spray paint, gloves, masks, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. You'll also get the surface you're painting on—whether that’s a shared wall space or individual canvases to take home. Our expert artist will be right there to guide you through every spray, ensuring you leave with a masterpiece and some awesome memories.🎨

What should I wear to the workshop?

For the best experience, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide high-quality protective gear like overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a bit messy when you're having this much fun. Auckland weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' so if we’re outdoors, bringing a light jacket or sunblock is always a smart move.👟

Do I need to have any artistic skills or experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists who want to try something totally different. Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists will break down the techniques into easy steps—from how to hold the can to creating cool 3D effects. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the skills and how great your art looks by the end!✨

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a group, a couple on a holiday, or a large tour group, we can accommodate you. Small groups offer a really personal vibe, while larger groups create a high-energy atmosphere. Because we have a large team of backup artists in New Zealand, we can handle multiple groups simultaneously without ever compromising on the quality of your experience.🙌

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Auckland's weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't stop. We have access to several undercover and indoor locations across the city that allow us to run workshops rain or shine. If you've booked an outdoor session and the weather turns, we will coordinate with you to move to a sheltered spot or adjust the timing. Your comfort and safety are our priorities, so we'll always ensure you stay dry while painting!🌦️

How long does the graffiti experience actually take?

A standard tourist graffiti workshop in Auckland usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, some practice runs, and then the main event where you create your own piece. If you’re looking for a more "deep dive" artistic session, we can extend the duration to 3 hours upon request. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing itinerary!⏰

Is the spray paint safe to use for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional spray paints and provide high-quality FFP2 masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas to ensure everyone breathes easy. Our artists are also trained in site safety and will give a comprehensive briefing before anyone presses a nozzle. It’s a safe, controlled environment where the only thing you need to worry about is being creative!🛡️

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Auckland holiday? Because walking tours are choice, but making your own art is even better! Here’s why we’re the top pick for creative travellers: 🔥

Authentic Local Vibe: Get off the tourist trail and hang out with real Kiwi street artists who know the city's secrets.
No Stress Booking: No upfront payment required—you can pay after the workshop once you’ve had the time of your life! 💸
All-Weather Fun: Whether it's a stunning Auckland summer day or a bit "liquid sunshine," we have indoor and outdoor spots ready to go. ☀️🌧️
Perfect for Everyone: From solo backpackers to families and retirement groups, anyone can pick up a can and have a blast.
Guaranteed Sessions: With our roster of backup artists, we never cancel on you. Your holiday plans are safe with us! 🏆
Take Home Memories: Create more than just a photo—create a piece of art that tells the story of your New Zealand adventure.

Looking for something different? We also offer 3D Street art, or workshops for Schools, Festivals, Bachelor parties, Brand activations, Company events, and Kids parties.

Step by step

Meet your artist: Hook up with your professional local street artist at the designated Auckland spot. We’ll kick things off with some cool stories about the local scene.
Safety first: Suit up in our provided protective gear. We’ll show you how to use the masks and gloves properly so you stay clean and safe.
Master the can: Learn the basics of "can control." Your guide will show you how different caps and angles change the spray from thin lines to fat fills.
Sketch your design: Grab some paper or go straight to the wall! We’ll help you map out your "tag" or piece using basic shapes and outlines.
The first spray: Shake those cans and start laying down your background colours. This is where the adrenaline really kicks in!
Adding the details: Learn how to add highlights, lowlights, and that iconic 3D shadow effect that makes graffiti pop off the surface.
Fine-tuning: Your artist will walk around giving "pro-tips" to help you sharpen your edges and make your colours blend perfectly.
The final "cut": Use a contrasting colour to outline your work, making it look professional and sharp.
Photo op: Strike a pose with your finished masterpiece! It’s the ultimate Auckland holiday snap to show the folks back home.

Good to know

We’ve got the logistics sorted so you can focus on the art. Here’s what you need to know about your Auckland graffiti session:

Local culture

Auckland's street art scene is a vibrant reflection of its multicultural heart. From the massive murals in the CBD to the hidden "pieces" in the laneways of Ponsonby, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops often draw inspiration from New Zealand's unique Pacific identity, blending traditional street art styles with local Māori motifs and Kiwi icons. You’ll find that the "streetie" community here is incredibly welcoming, and we love sharing the stories behind the famous walls you might have seen around town. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Auckland is home to some of the tallest murals in the Southern Hemisphere? The city's "Bradley Lane" in Glen Innes is a famous hub for street art festivals that bring international artists to our shores every year! 🇳🇿

While you're in the country, why not check out the vibes in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, or Queenstown? Each city has its own unique flavour of spray-can culture!
