Do I need to be good at drawing to join?

No artistic skills are needed at all! Our Tauranga workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our friendly professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to layering colours like a pro. Most of our guests have never touched a can of paint before, and they always leave stoked with what they’ve managed to create on the day. Just bring your enthusiasm and we'll handle the rest!

Is it safe and what should I wear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. It’s a safe, controlled environment where the only thing you need to worry about is which colour to pick next for your masterpiece!

How long does the graffiti workshop take?

Standard tourist workshops in Tauranga usually run for about 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a quick intro to graffiti history, a demo of different techniques, and then heaps of time for you to actually get hands-on with the paint. If you’ve got a tight travel schedule, let us know—we can often tailor the session length to fit your plans perfectly without rushing the creative fun.

Is this activity suitable for kids and families?

Generally, we suggest ages 6 and up can join in the fun! It’s a fantastic family activity because kids absolutely love the tactile nature of spray painting. It’s a great way for different generations to bond over something completely unique. For younger children, we just ask that a parent or guardian is there to help them out. It’s all about getting the whole whānau involved in the creative process!

What happens if it starts raining in Tauranga?

We’re locals, so we’ve got a plan! Most of our workshop spots in Tauranga have sheltered areas or indoor alternatives. If the weather looks truly miserable, we’ll get in touch early to reschedule or move to a dry location. Since we have a team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel—we just pivot to make sure you still get your spray paint fix while staying dry.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! Unlike some street art tours where you just look at walls, here you are the artist. You’ll get to work on your own canvas or a dedicated practice wall. If you work on a canvas, you can take your piece of Tauranga street art home with you as the ultimate souvenir. It’s way better than a standard postcard and a great story to tell when people see it on your wall.
