Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers and young kids?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional artists are seasoned pros who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure cans that are easier to control, especially for younger creators and beginners. Plus, we only work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated workshop spaces.

Do the participants need to have prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our youth projects are designed for all skill levels, from those who can't draw a stick figure to aspiring young artists. Our mentors guide the group through the 'can control' basics, teaching how to make fat lines, thin lines, and smooth gradients. By the time we start the main mural, everyone feels like a pro. It’s all about building confidence and having a blast with the process.

How long does a typical youth project workshop last?

Typically, our youth workshops in Rotorua run for about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history of street art, a safety briefing, some practice runs on the 'training wall,' and finally, the creation of a massive group masterpiece. If you have a specific timeframe in mind for a community event or school break programme, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your schedule.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed to create epic art! This includes a vast range of premium spray paint colours, protective gear (gloves, masks, and suits), and the painting surfaces themselves. We can even bring mobile transparent film walls if there isn't a permanent wall available at your venue. All you and the team need to bring is some old clothes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on and heaps of energy!

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

We’re masters of flexibility. If the Rotorua weather decides to get a bit wet, we have several options. We can frequently move the session to a covered outdoor area or use large indoor spaces with high ceilings and portable 'cling film' walls combined with water-based, low-odour paints. If things look really dodgy, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule to a time that works perfectly for your youth group.

Are the projects individual or group-based?

The best part about our youth projects is that they are highly collaborative! While we start with individual practice so everyone learns the ropes, the main event is usually a large-scale mural where the whole group works together on a single theme. This promotes teamwork, communication, and a massive sense of collective pride when the final 'big picture' is revealed. It's the ultimate 'shaka' moment for the team!

Local culture

Rotorua is world-famous for its geothermal wonders and rich Māori heritage, but there is also a buzzing contemporary art scene emerging across the city. From the stunning murals that decorate the CBD to the creative energy found at local spots like ‘The Arts Village,’ Rotorua is the perfect backdrop for a graffiti revolution. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the local landscape—think vibrant volcanic oranges and deep bush greens—while respecting the cultural tapestry that makes this town so special. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Rotorua’s name comes from the Māori phrase ‘Te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe,’ meaning the second lake? Just like the city’s complex name, we help youth create layered, meaningful art that tells their own unique story.

Pricing

Because every youth project is unique—varying by group size, location, and the scale of the mural—we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. We want to ensure you get the best value for your community or school budget.
