Do we need any prior art experience to join?

Not at all! Our Queenstown workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of can control, nozzle types, and layering techniques. Most university students are surprised at how quickly they can create something awesome. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed, social environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We also use premium spray paint and conduct sessions in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our instructors give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly while having a blast.

Can we create a large group mural together?

Absolutely! We love it when student groups want to create a collaborative masterpiece. We can set up a massive communal 'wall' (using our specialized boards) where everyone contributes to a single theme, like your faculty's mission or a university milestone. It’s a fantastic way to build team spirit and create a lasting memory for your student union or club.

What should we wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find a way onto your shoes or sleeves if you get really into it. Flat, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety while moving around the workshop area.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard university workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper intro, some practice runs on individual boards, and the creation of a final piece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into a busy O-Week schedule or a specific club event slot depending on your needs.

Where in Queenstown do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at a designated central Queenstown location, or we can bring the entire setup to your campus or a local park (with council permission). As long as we have a bit of open space and fresh air, we can turn almost any spot into a temporary street art studio.

How does the payment process work for uni groups?

No deposit is required when you book with us. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed. This makes it much easier for university clubs or student unions to manage their budgets and approvals. We accept several payment methods to keep things simple for your finance department.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun session for your uni group? It’s the perfect blend of skill-building and socialising. Here is why students love it:

Stress relief: Nothing beats the therapeutic hiss of a spray can to forget about exams for a while. ✌️
Original content: Create something worthy of your student flat wall or a collaborative mural for the common room.
Professional mentors: Learn from real-deal street artists who live and breathe the culture.
Inclusive fun: You don't need to be an 'art student' to excel; graffiti is about your personal style. 🎤
No financial stress: With no upfront payment, booking is easy for student reps and treasurers.
Epic memories: It's a high-impact, visual activity that looks amazing on social media and stays with you long after the paint dries. 🏆

Step by step

Briefing and safety: We start with a quick intro to the gear and the 'golden rules' of spray painting to keep everyone safe and stoked.
Concept sketching: Grab a marker and jot down your ideas. Our artists help you refine your design so it works perfectly for the medium.
Can control basics: Learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure to get those clean lines.
Practice runs: Edge your way in by testing strokes and fades on a practice surface before moving to your main piece.
Outline and filling: Start bringing your design to life on the canvas or wall by laying down your base colours and main shapes.
Shadows and highlights: This is where the magic happens! We’ll show you how to add depth and pop using contrast techniques.
Cutting in: Sharpen up your edges and fix any 'overspray' to give your artwork that professional, crisp look.
Final flourishes: Add those signature tags, highlights, or 'power lines' to make your artwork truly stand out.
The big reveal: Step back, admire the collective work of your cohort, and grab some epic group photos for the 'gram.

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions ranging from 90 minutes to a full 3-hour immersive experience.

Local culture

Queenstown might be the 'Adventure Capital of the World,' but its creative pulse is just as strong as its bungy jumps. From the hidden gems in the laneways near Beach Street to the vibrant murals popping up around Frankton, street art is becoming a core part of the local identity. Our workshops tap into this Alpine-cool aesthetic, blending the grit of urban art with the breathtaking beauty of Central Otago.

Fun fact: Did you know Queenstown's street art scene often features local Māori legends and native wildlife, blending traditional heritage with modern spray-paint techniques? It’s a unique fusion you won't find anywhere else in Aotearoa!

Pricing

Our university workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Costs depend on your group size, location, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant collaborative mural. 💸
