How long does a typical graffiti workshop for Dunedin youth last?

Standard youth project workshops in Dunedin usually run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe provides the perfect balance between learning the essential safety and spray techniques and having enough time to complete a high-quality piece of art. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your event's needs perfectly.✨

Do the participants need to have any prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from absolute beginners to those who’ve dabbled in art before. Our professional artists lead the group through every stage, starting with basic lines and moving into advanced shading and 'wildstyle' techniques. By the time the session is over, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed at the masterpiece they've created.🎨

Is the spray paint safe for teenagers and children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP3 respirators to filter out fumes, as well as protective gloves and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are experienced professionals who brief the group on canister safety and workspace awareness before any paint is sprayed. We ensure a controlled, positive environment where everyone can get creative without any risks.💪

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'old' clothes and sturdy shoes (no jandals, please!). While we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or sneakers. Since Dunedin weather can be a bit unpredictable, we usually host these sessions in sheltered outdoor areas or well-ventilated indoor spaces, so an extra layer is always a good idea just in case!🌧️

Can we choose a specific theme for our youth project?

Absolutely! While we have a massive range of colours and templates ready to go, we love it when youth groups want to express a specific theme, such as community, identity, or local Dunedin pride. Just let us know your ideas beforehand, and our artists will prep the session to help your group bring that specific vision to life on the canvas or wall.🔥

What is your payment policy and what if we need to cancel?

We understand that organizing youth events can be stressful, which is why we offer ultimate flexibility. You don't need to pay anything upfront; payment is handled after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the result. Plus, we have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what. It’s all about making the process as smooth as possible for you.🙌

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Dunedin youth event? It’s more than just a painting lesson; it’s an immersive experience that resonates with modern culture. 🏆

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come to life from their own hands gives young people a massive sense of achievement.
Team Building: Many of our projects involve creating a collaborative mural, requiring communication and shared vision. 🤝
Creative Outlet: It provides a constructive and legal way to explore an often-misunderstood art form.
Expert Mentors: Our Dunedin-based artists act as positive role models, sharing their passion and professional journey.
All-Inclusive: We bring everything to you—no need to worry about sourcing cans or safety gear!

Step by step

The initial kōrero: We kick things off with a quick intro to the history of street art and a safety briefing to get everyone in the right headspace.
Sketching the vision: Before touching a can, the crew learns how to map out their ideas on paper, focusing on letter structure and flow.
First lines: Participants grab their cans and practice 'nozzle control' on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
Filling in: This is where the colour happens! We teach the youth how to apply solid fills and gorgeous gradients to make their work pop.
Outlining and highlights: Our artists show the group how to sharpen their edges and add those crisp white 'shines' that give graffiti its 3D look.
The final reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collective work, snap some epic photos, and celebrate the creative journey!

Good to know

Our youth projects are designed to be hassle-free for organisers. We provide all materials, including premium low-pressure spray paint (easier for beginners to control), canvases or boards, and full protective gear (masks, gloves, and suits). 🛡️

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your goals.
Group Sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 5 to large community events of 50+.
Location: We can come to your venue in Dunedin, or we can arrange a suitable outdoor spot.
Health & Safety: Full RAMS documentation is available, and our artists are experienced in managing youth group dynamics.

Local culture

Dunedin is widely known as the street art capital of New Zealand, and for good reason! From the massive murals in the Warehouse Precinct to the hidden gems tucked away in the Octagon’s back alleys, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops tap into this rich local heritage, giving youth the chance to contribute to a culture that defines their city. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin features some of the tallest murals in the Southern Hemisphere? Many world-renowned artists have travelled here specifically to use the city's historic brick walls as their canvas! 🎤
