Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

No artistic talent? No worries! Our Hobart workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our pro artists will guide you through every step, from holding the can to mastering 'the flick.' You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create with just a bit of coaching and high-quality paint. It’s all about having a crack and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed environment.

Is the workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respirators, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs clear. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easy to control, and our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a nozzle. We make sure the environment is well-ventilated so you can focus entirely on your art and having a blast.

What happens if it rains on the day of my Hobart workshop?

We’ve got you covered! Hobart’s weather can be a bit unpredictable, so we have access to undercover spots and indoor studios to ensure your session goes ahead rain or hail. If the weather is truly wild, we have backup plans in place. Plus, with our 'backup artist' guarantee, you never have to worry about a cancellation from our end. We’ll make sure your Tassie art experience happens.

What do I need to bring with me?

Just yourself and some old kicks! We provide everything else: spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which might be a wall or a board depending on the package). We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, even though we provide overalls. Bring your phone to take plenty of 'gram-worthy' shots!

How long does the workshop last?

Our Hobart tourist workshops usually run between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Aussie street art, learn the basic techniques, practice your 'tag,' and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule or as a pre-dinner activity before heading to Salamanca Place.

Can I book this for my family or a small group of friends?

Absolutely! We love hosting families and groups of mates. Our workshops are suitable for all ages (usually 6+ for kids), making it a brilliant family activity while visiting Tassie. We can tailor the complexity of the session to suit the ages of the participants. It’s a fantastic way to bond and create a unique memory of your time in the southernmost capital.

Local culture

Hobart’s street art scene is a hidden gem, tucked away in the laneways behind Liverpool Street and around the vibrant North Hobart precinct. While the city is famous for its history and amazing seafood, the local art culture is thriving with murals that celebrate Tasmania’s unique wildlife and rugged landscapes. During your workshop, you’ll get a taste of this local creative spirit.

Fun Fact: Did you know Hobart is home to some of the legal graffiti walls in Australia that are regularly refreshed by local 'writers'? It ensures the city's urban aesthetic is always evolving! 🐨

Whether you've spent the morning at MONA or wandering through the Salamanca Markets, our workshop is the perfect afternoon follow-up. We bring that gritty, urban energy to the clean Tassie air, giving you a perspective of Hobart that most tourists never see. ✨

Pricing

We believe street art should be accessible to everyone visiting Hobart. Our pricing reflects our commitment to quality materials and professional guidance.
