Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Hamilton graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners and travelers who want to try something new. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shapes. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something that looks legendary. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed environment.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you and your clothes clean. However, graffiti can be a bit messy, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on just in case. Once you're suited up, you're ready to spray like a pro without any worries!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

In Hamilton, our standard tourist workshops usually run for about 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, some practice runs on the practice wall, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you're on a tight travel schedule, let us know—we can often tailor the timing to fit your itinerary perfectly so you don't miss your next stop!

Is it safe to use the spray cans?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary safety gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors are experienced pros who will teach you the correct techniques to ensure everyone has a blast while staying completely safe throughout the entire creative session. High-fives are encouraged, reckless spraying is not!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you sure can! Depending on the workshop package you choose, you’ll either be working on a shared mural wall or individual canvases. If you work on a canvas, it’s yours to keep and take home as the ultimate Kiwi souvenir. If we’re working on a large-scale wall, we’ll make sure you get plenty of high-res photos and videos to show off your skills on social media!

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that travel plans can change! That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and have backup artists ready to go. If you need to reschedule your Hamilton session, just give us a shout as soon as possible. We pride ourselves on being flexible and reliable, ensuring that your holiday remains stress-free and full of creative highlights.

Local culture

Hamilton (or Kirikiriroa) has transformed from a quiet river town into a vibrant hub of urban creativity. The city is famous for the Boon Street Art Festival, which has turned drab alleyways and brick walls into a massive outdoor gallery. When you join our workshop, you're tapping into that same local spirit that makes Hamilton one of New Zealand's coolest creative secrets. 🥝

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton is home to the world-famous 'Riff Raff' statue? Like our graffiti workshops, the city loves to celebrate the quirky, the bold, and the artistic!

After your session, we recommend wandering through the CBD to find the incredible murals hidden around Victoria Street—it’s the perfect way to see how the pros do it after you’ve had a go yourself!
