How long does a standard Tauranga graffiti workshop last?

For most Tauranga graffiti workshops, we suggest allowing between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice your 'tag' on some test boards, and then focus on creating your final masterpiece. We don't like to rush the creative process, so we make sure there's enough time for everyone to feel proud of what they've painted!

Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop?

Definitely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from people who have never touched a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will guide you through every single step, from how to hold the nozzle to layering colours and adding those final 'pops' that make your art stand out. It's all about having a go and having a laugh while you do it.

What should I wear to my graffiti session in Tauranga?

We provide all the gear you need, including high-quality spray paint, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. However, it's a good idea to wear comfy clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on just in case. Since Tauranga has such great weather, we often work outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces, so check the forecast!

Is spray painting safe for kids and beginners?

Safety is our top priority! We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment like masks (if indoors or requested), gloves, and overalls. Our artist instructors are also experts in teaching safe handling of the cans. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that everyone follows basic safety rules so the focus stays entirely on the fun.

Where in Tauranga do the workshops take place?

Tauranga offers several great options! We can host workshops at vibrant local outdoor spots, community hubs, or even come directly to your location if you have a suitable space (like a school or office carpark). If you’re looking for a specific vibe, just let us know and we’ll help find the perfect creative backdrop in the Bay of Plenty for your group.

Do I have to pay for the workshop in advance?

We’re all about flexibility! We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You can get everything organised, confirm your artist, and then simply pay after the workshop is finished. This takes the stress out of the planning process and ensures you are 100% happy with the experience we've delivered in Tauranga. Fun is guaranteed!

What happens if the artist has to cancel?

In the rare event that an artist can't make it due to an emergency, we have a network of backup artists ready to step in. We know how much planning goes into events like kids' parties or team builds, so we make sure the show goes on regardless. You can book with total confidence knowing your Tauranga street art experience is protected.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: Meet your local Tauranga artist and dive into the history of street art while checking out some epic design examples to get your creative juices flowing.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suits and gloves. We’ll show you the ropes on how to handle the spray cans safely and professionally.
Master the tech: Learn the 'can control' basics – from making thin lines and fat drips to those smooth fades that make graffiti look so slick.
Sketch your vibe: Grab a marker and start blocking out your design on the canvas or wall. No stress here, our pros are on hand to help you get the proportions right!
Fill it in: Time to add the colour! This is where you learn how to layer your paints without making a muddy mess. Choose your palette and go for gold.
The outline & highlights: This is the secret sauce. Add sharp outlines and white highlights to make your artwork literally pop off the surface.
Final touches: Step back, take a look, and add any final 'flare' like splashes or secondary outlines to finish your masterpiece.
Photo op: Strike a pose with your creation! It’s time for the ultimate group photo to show off your new skills to the world.

Local culture

Tauranga isn't just about the surf and the Mount; it’s a city that’s rapidly becoming a hub for Kiwi street art! With the incredible Paradox Street Art Festival having left its mark on the city's walls a few years back, the 'Bay' has embraced urban creativity like never before. From the vibrant murals in the CBD to the hidden gems tucked away in industrial areas, Tauranga provides the perfect backdrop for a graffiti workshop.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tauranga is home to some of the largest street art murals in New Zealand? Many of these were created by world-renowned artists, turning the city into an open-air gallery that rivals the likes of Auckland and Wellington!
