Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop? Better yet, what if I'm not artistic?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering different nozzle pressures. We'll guide you through Every step of the process, ensuring you feel confident and creative. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've managed to create on your own!

What should I wear, and will I get covered in paint?

Safety and tidiness are our top priorities. We provide high-quality protective gear, including overall suits, gloves, and masks. While the suits do a great job, we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic character' on. Our water-based and low-odour professional paints are safe and high-quality, ensuring a comfortable environment for everyone.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard graffiti workshops for tourists in Rotorua generally last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for professional demonstrations, practice runs on the practice boards, and the final creation of your own artwork. It's the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing without feeling rushed, leaving you plenty of time for more Kiwi adventures!

Do I need to pay in advance to secure my booking?

We believe in flexibility and trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your slot. We offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy because we are confident you'll have an absolute blast. If for some reason the workshop can't go ahead or your plans change, just let us know. It’s all about keeping things stress-free and fun!

Can you accommodate large tour groups or families?

We can accommodate almost any group size! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to join a session, a couple on a getaway, or a large family group touring New Zealand, we’ve got you covered. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal attention and guidance. Just request a quote for your specific numbers.

Why should I do a graffiti workshop instead of just seeing the sights in Rotorua?

While the Māori culture and geothermal wonders are the heart of Rotorua, the street art scene is a vibrant, modern heartbeat. Exploring this contemporary side of the city gives you a deeper, more rounded perspective of local life. Plus, it's a great break from the typical tourist trail, allowing you to create a physical souvenir of your time in the Bay of Plenty!

Zero experience needed: We’ll teach you everything from scratch—perfection is not required, but fun is! 🎨

Step by step

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your local artist and get a quick rundown of what makes the Rotorua street art scene unique.
Gear up for action: Step into your protective suit and gloves. We make sure everyone looks the part and stays clean before the spray starts flying!
Master the tech: Learn about 'caps' (the nozzles), pressure control, and how to hold the can like a pro. We'll show you how to draw thin lines and fat fills. ✨
First lines practice: Grab a can and head to the practice wall. You'll get a feel for the paint and lose those initial nerves by spraying your first tags and shapes.
Concept and sketch: Our artist will help you brainstorm an idea—maybe something inspired by the local geothermal landscapes—and sketch it out on your canvas or wall.
The big fill: This is where the colour happens! Learn how to layer shades and create cool gradients that pop. 🔥
Detailing and outlines: Use high-pressure cans to put those sharp black outlines on your work, making your piece look crisp and professional.
The finishing touch: Add highlights and 'flashes' to make your artwork stand out. Sign your name and take a victory photo with your masterpiece! 🏆

Local culture

Rotorua is a city of layers—from its deep ancestral roots to its incredible natural wonders. But look closely at the alleyways and urban corners, and you'll find a thriving modern art scene that pays homage to both the land and its people. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the steaming vents of Whakarewarewa and the intricate patterns found in traditional woodwork, blending them with modern spray-paint techniques. It’s a literal fusion of old and new!

Fun Fact: Rotorua has been the host of various mural festivals, turning the city into an open-air gallery. Some of the local street art even incorporates thermal-resistant paints to withstand the unique local environment!
