Do I need any previous art experience to take part?

You definitely do not need to be an artist to join our Palmerston North workshops! Our expert guides use a step by step approach that makes it easy for anyone to create something cool. We start with the basics of how to hold the spray can and move into more advanced techniques. Most people are surprised by how much they can achieve in just a couple of hours with the right guidance. It is all about having a go and enjoying the process!

Is the workshop safe for beginners and kids?

Your safety is our top priority while you are getting creative. We provide high quality gloves and protective masks to keep you comfortable throughout the session. We also recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on just in case. Our professional artists supervise the entire process to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while making their masterpiece. it is all about safe, messy fun!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, learn various spraying techniques, and complete your final masterpiece on a professional canvas or wall space. If you are a larger group or want a more intensive session, we can easily extend the duration to suit your needs. We move at a pace that keeps things exciting and productive for everyone involved.

What materials are included in the workshop fee?

Everything you need is included in the package! We provide professional grade spray cans in a huge range of vibrant colours, high quality caps for different line widths, protective gear like masks and gloves, and the canvases or workspace needed for your art. You just need to show up with some energy and a willingness to try something new. We handle all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards so you can focus on the art.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We are very flexible when it comes to group sizes in Palmerston North. Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple looking for a unique date night, or a large family group on holiday, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of individual attention and coaching. There is no job too big or too small for our crew to handle with a smile.

How do I pay and do I need to pay upfront?

One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is our flexible payment policy. You do not have to worry about upfront payments when you book your session. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete and you are happy with the results. This makes it easy to plan your trip to Palmy without any financial stress or hidden fees. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.

Can I choose what I want to paint?

Absolutely! While we provide plenty of inspiration and templates to help you get started, we encourage everyone to bring their own ideas to the table. Our artists love helping you translate your personal style or a specific concept onto the wall. Whether you want to write your name, create a character, or try some abstract patterns, we are here to provide the technical skills to make your vision come to life. Let your imagination run wild!

Local culture

Palmerston North might be known as a student hub and a gateway to the great outdoors, but it also boasts a growing and eclectic street art scene. From the massive murals in the CBD to the hidden gems tucked away in side streets, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, giving you a chance to contribute to the creative energy that makes Palmy so unique. We often host our sessions in spaces that reflect the industrial yet artistic vibe of the region.

Fun Fact: Palmerston North is home to the National Squash Centre and the New Zealand Rugby Museum, but did you know it also has a secret network of colourful alleyways designed specifically to promote local urban art? We might even show you a few of them! 🌏
