Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Hamilton graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned fine arts students. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the 'fun' in 'fundamental techniques,' ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they’re actually proud of. It’s all about expressing your individual style in a relaxed, social environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides all the necessary high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, plus protective gear like gloves and masks. We usually work on large canvases or mobile boards. All you need to bring is your energy, some old clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, and your flatmates or uni mates for a great time.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all participants with protective masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We typically host these events in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor areas that meet all safety standards, ensuring a worry-free creative session for all university students.

Can you accommodate large university groups or entire faculties?

Absolutely! Whether you are a small club of 10 people or a massive university faculty looking to host 200+ students, we can scale our Hamilton workshops to fit. For very large groups, we bring in extra backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. We specialise in harmonising large-scale events so the energy stays high and the creativity flows from start to finish.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Most of our university workshops in Hamilton run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper intro, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific timeframe—like a quick hour-long session during a festival or a longer deep-dive afternoon—just let us know and we can customise the schedule to suit your event.

How does the payment process work for student unions?

We understand that uni budgets and planning can be tricky. That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your Hamilton workshop today to secure your preferred date and artist, and only pay after the workshop is complete. This takes the stress out of the admin side so you can focus on the fun stuff. Just contact us for a custom quote!

The experience

Ditch the stress: The perfect way to decompress after exams or a long week of labs. 🎨
Social vibes: Connect with fellow students outside of the classroom in a high-energy, creative environment. 🤝
Authentic skills: Learn real street art techniques from professional artists, not just "arts and crafts." 🎤
Take it home: Every student gets to contribute to a massive mural or take home their own individual canvas piece. 🏆
Flexible & Scalable: We fit into your schedule, whether it’s a lunch break session or a full-day festival. ✨
No risk booking: No upfront payment required—we trust our Hamilton student community! 💪

Step by step

The intro & spray safety: We kick things off with a quick rundown of graffiti history and, most importantly, how to use the gear safely so everyone stays clean and protected.
First lines & nozzles: Grab a can and learn the basics! Our pros show you how different 'caps' or nozzles change the spray width and how to control your pressure.
Sketching your concept: Use chalk or light paint to map out your design on the canvas. No pressure here—it’s all about getting your ideas down.
Filling & fades: This is where the colour comes in. We’ll teach you how to create smooth gradients and vibrant 'fills' that make your art pop.
The 'cut back' technique: Learn the secret of the pros—using the background colour to sharpen your lines and fix any little wobbles.
Outlining & highlights: Add those crisp final outlines and 'power shines' (white highlights) that give your graffiti that professional 3D look.
The final reveal: Step back and admire the collective work! It’s the perfect time for a group photo with the finished masterpieces.

Local culture

Hamilton (or 'The Tron' as we fondly call it) has been quietly transforming into a canvas for incredible urban art. From the massive murals decorating the CBD to the hidden gems along the Waikato River trails, the city celebrates creativity. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, giving students the chance to contribute to Hamilton's growing reputation as a hub for the arts. Whether you're inspired by the Boon Street Art Festival or the vibrant student culture at the Hillcrest shops, our sessions bring that local H-Town energy directly to your campus.

Fun Fact: Hamilton is home to the world-famous 'Boon' festival, which has turned dozens of dull city walls into vibrant masterpieces by local and international artists! 🎨
