Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists in Newcastle will guide you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced layering. We start with the fundamentals on a practice wall or canvas before moving into the main masterpiece. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the techniques and start creating art you’re actually proud of! 🎨

What should I wear and do you provide safety gear?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality overalls, gloves, and respiratory masks to keep you and your clothes clean. However, spray paint is permanent and can be tricky, so we always recommend wearing your 'favourite old sneakers' and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. Safety is our priority, and our materials are pro-grade but handled with care. 🧤

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Newcastle usually runs for about 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief intro to street art history, a demo of different spray techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final artwork. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing around the Hunter region without feeling rushed. ⏱️

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

We love hosting everyone! Whether you’re a solo traveller looking to meet people, a couple on a quirky date, or a large family group, we can accommodate you. Our pricing is tiered, so larger groups often get a better rate per person. If you have a group larger than 20, just let us know so we can arrange extra artists to help out. 👨👩-👧👦

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

In the true Aussie spirit, we don’t let a bit of 'liquid sunshine' stop the fun. We have access to several covered and indoor locations across Newcastle that allow us to paint regardless of the weather. If the forecast looks truly terrible for an outdoor spot, we’ll coordinate with you to move to one of our backup undercover sites so your creativity stays dry! 🌧️

Can I take my artwork home with me?

One of the best parts of our tourist workshops is that you get to take your creation home! We usually work on high-quality canvases or boards for visitors. They dry relatively quickly, but we’ll give you tips on how to transport them safely back to your hotel or even pack them for your flight home as the ultimate Newcastle souvenir. 🖼️

How do I book and is there an upfront cost?

Booking is super easy and flexible. You can request a quote online, and we’ll get back to you with availability. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You can pay after the workshop once you’ve seen how much fun it is. We also have backup artists ready to go, so we almost never have to cancel a session. 📅

Local culture

Newcastle (or 'Newy' to the locals) has undergone a massive transformation from its industrial roots into a thriving cultural hub. The city is literally a living gallery, with world-class murals popping up from the West End to the foreshore. Our workshops tap into this grit and glamour, often held near iconic spots like the Newcastle Museum or hidden laneways that tell the story of the city's evolution. We celebrate the 'Novocastrian' spirit—laid back, creative, and fiercely original.

Fun Fact: Did you know Newcastle hosts 'Big Picture Fest'? It brings international artists to town to turn giant silos and brick walls into massive masterpieces. You’ll be painting in a city that truly values street culture! 🇦🇺
