How long does a typical university graffiti workshop last?

The standard university workshop lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives your group enough time to learn the basic spray painting techniques, practice their 'tag' or 'throw-up', and then collaborate on a final large-scale masterpiece or individual canvases. If you've got a specific timeframe in mind for a campus event, just let us know and we can adjust the pace to suit your schedule!

Is the workshop safe for students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control than standard hardware store paint. Our professional artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun and hazard-free environment for all students and staff.

Where in Christchurch do the workshops take place?

We are totally mobile! We can set up on your university campus using our free-standing professional cellophane walls (which leave zero trace) or if you prefer, we can host you at one of our partner creative spaces in Christchurch. Whether it’s an O-Week event in a quad or a private hall of residence function, we bring the entire studio setup directly to you.

Do students need prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our expert street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the can to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, even those who claim they 'can't draw a stick figure' are usually amazed at the vibrant, professional-looking street art they've managed to create. It's all about the spray!

What happens if it rains on the day of our event?

We love the Kiwi weather, but spray paint doesn't always play nice with rain. If the weather turns, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area, an indoor space with proper ventilation, or we can reschedule to a better day. Since we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible with timing to ensure your event goes ahead safely.

Do we need to pay in advance?

We believe in a stress-free booking process for student orgs and university departments. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We'll send through an invoice after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This makes it much easier to manage club budgets and administrative approvals without the hassle of immediate deposits.

What is included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to create epic art. This includes a massive range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (whether that's a temporary wall or individual boards). You just need to show up in some comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty—we'll handle all the logistics and cleanup!

Local culture

Christchurch is arguably the street art capital of New Zealand. Following the earthquakes, the city’s blank walls became a canvas for hope and renewal, evolving into a world-class urban gallery. Our workshops tap into this unique 'Otautahi' spirit, connecting students with the creative pulse of the city. From the massive murals in the CBD to the hidden gems in Sydenham, we draw inspiration from the local legends who transformed Christchurch's landscape. 🎨

Fun Fact: Christchurch hosts the 'flare' of street art festivals, and was once named by Lonely Planet as one of the best cities in the world to see street art, right alongside New York and Berlin!

Pricing

We offer competitive rates for student organisations and university faculties to ensure everyone can get involved in the street art scene.

Investment: NZ$45 – NZ$95 per person

Prices vary based on the number of students, the location, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant collaborative mural. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden costs.

No upfront payment required! Pay only after the workshop is done and everyone is stoked with the results.
