Where We Hold Workshops in Hobart

Our graffiti workshops in Hobart can be arranged at various suitable locations, often in community spaces or private venues that allow for creative expression. We work with groups to find the most convenient spot, considering accessibility and local amenities. Areas closer to the city centre, like around Sullivans Cove or Battery Point, offer good access to other attractions for groups planning a full day out.

  • Central Hobart: Convenient for businesses and tourist groups, with easy access to transport and dining.
  • Northern Suburbs: Options here can provide more space and less distraction for focused creative sessions.
  • Kingston and Huon Valley: For groups travelling from slightly further afield, these areas offer different scenic backdrops and can be combined with other regional activities.

The flexibility allows us to cater to the specific needs of companies, schools, or private groups, ensuring the chosen location enhances the overall workshop experience.

Hobart Workshops for Every Group

A graffiti workshop in Hobart offers a versatile activity for diverse groups. Companies can utilise it for an engaging team building day, fostering collaboration and creative problem-solving. For schools, it provides a hands-on art experience that connects with contemporary culture, often linked to curriculum themes.

Friends and families can enjoy a unique outing, creating shared memories and a tangible piece of art. Birthday celebrations or special gatherings find an unconventional and fun twist with a spray paint session. Afterwards, groups often explore the vibrant dining scene around Salamanca Place, enjoy fresh seafood at the waterfront, or visit the many cafes in North Hobart for a relaxed meal and drinks.

Step by step

  1. The meet and greet: Arrive at our Hobart creative hub where you’ll meet your lead artist and get a run-down of the day's plan.
  2. Gear up for safety: We’ll kit you out with professional masks, gloves, and protective suits—safety is our number one priority!
  3. The history of spray: Get a quick, high-energy intro into the culture of street art and how it evolved into the global phenomenon it is today.
  4. Mastering the can: Learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, from choosing the right caps (nozzles) to controlling pressure and distance.
  5. First lines: Start with some warm-up exercises on the wall—dots, lines, and simple shapes to get your hand-eye coordination going.
  6. Sketching your vision: Our artists will help you sketch out your design ideas on the wall using light 'ghost' lines.
  7. Filling and fading: Dive into the colour! Learn how to fill large areas efficiently and how to create those iconic graffiti gradients and fades.
  8. The final outline: The 'cut-in' phase where you add the sharp outlines and highlights that make your artwork pop off the wall.
  9. Group photo and wrap-up: Step back, admire your work, take some epic photos for the 'gram, and help us clear up the gear.

Arriving for Your Hobart Workshop

Hobart does not have a main railway station for passenger services, so most visitors arrive by road or air. If you are travelling by car, the Brooker Highway (A1) and the Southern Outlet (A6) are key routes into the city centre. Parking can be found in various car parks around the CBD, though availability and cost vary.

For groups arriving by coach, drop-off points are generally available near major attractions or designated city centre areas. Public transport within Hobart is primarily bus-based, with services connecting various suburbs and the city centre. Hobart Airport (HBA) is located approximately 17 kilometres northeast of the city centre, with shuttle buses and taxis providing onward travel to central Hobart. We coordinate with group organisers to ensure easy access to the workshop location.

Local culture

Street Art and Culture in Hobart

Hobart's street art scene is growing, often appearing in unexpected nooks and alongside older, more traditional architecture. While not as overtly famous for graffiti as some larger cities, there's a definite appreciation for public art and murals, particularly in areas like North Hobart and around the waterfront. Local artists often contribute to a dynamic urban canvas, making use of available wall space and community initiatives.

The city's creative spirit is evident in its numerous galleries and independent studios. Events such as the annual Dark Mofo festival also bring temporary installations and large-scale public art to the city, exposing residents and visitors to diverse artistic expressions. Our workshops tap into this burgeoning artistic energy, providing a safe and legal way to explore graffiti art within Hobart's unique context.

Pricing

Our Hobart graffiti experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can get involved in the street art movement. Pricing typically starts from A$40 to A$90 per person, depending on your group size, the duration of the session, and the specific materials used (like canvas take-homes).

We believe in total transparency—there are no hidden fees and no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% happy with the experience. ✨
