How long does a typical university graffiti workshop last?

Most university workshops in Wellington last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is perfect as it fits into a standard lecture block or an afternoon social slot. We start with a quick history and safety brief, move into technique practice, and spend the final hour on a collective mural or individual canvases. We can always adjust the timing to fit your specific student union schedule or event program.

Do students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, from how to hold the can to mastering complex layering techniques. Whether you're an architecture student with a keen eye for design or a law student looking for a creative outlet, you'll be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session.

What safety gear do you provide for the workshop?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We also use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control for beginners. All sessions are supervised by experienced artists who ensure a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for all participants throughout the creative process. It is all about having fun safely!

Where in Wellington do these workshops take place?

Wellington weather can be a bit 'windy', so we have both indoor and outdoor options. If you have a specific spot on campus you'd like to use, we can set up mobile plastic walls. If the weather turns, we can move the session to a ventilated indoor space or use canvases. We’re flexible and always have a backup plan to ensure your event goes ahead rain or shine.

Can we book this for a student club or team-building event?

Definitely! Graffiti is a fantastic way to bond. We can structure the workshop so students work together on a large-scale mural that represents their faculty, club, or hall of residence. It encourages communication, shared decision-making, and collective pride. It’s a brilliant icebreaker for Orientation Week or a great way to relieve some stress during the mid-semester break.

What kind of materials are used during the workshop?

We use high-quality, professional-grade spray paint and materials. For university sessions, we often use water-based spray cans where possible to minimize fumes, especially if we are working near campus buildings. We provide all the paint, caps, and surfaces—whether that's a temporary wall or individual canvases that students can take back to their flat. Everything is included in the per-person price.

Is there a discount for large student groups?

We appreciate that student budgets can be tight, so we offer flexible pricing based on group size. Generally, the more students involved, the lower the cost per person. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your date — you pay only after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked with the result.

Fill and flow: Learn how to fill large areas efficiently and how to blend colours for that classic street art gradient.
The sharp edge: Practice 'cutting in' to sharpen your edges and make your piece pop against the background.
Add the details: Use specialized nozzles (caps) to add highlights, shadows, and those final 'tags' that define the style.

Local culture

Wellington isn't just the political hub of NZ; it's a global hotspot for street art and mural culture. From the iconic murals of Ghuznee Street to the hidden gems in the laneways off Cuba Street, the city lives and breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this unique 'Welly' vibe, taking inspiration from the local legends who have transformed our cityscape. We understand the local student culture—from the hills of Kelburn to the busy streets of Mount Cook—bringing a session that feels authentic to our windy city.
