Do I need any prior art experience to join?

No experience is needed at all! Our Auckland workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through everything from how to hold the can to advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed environment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

We focus heavily on safety. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are professional-grade, and we conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces across Auckland. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free experience for everyone involved.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide protective gear like overalls and shoe covers, spray paint mist can sometimes find its way onto surfaces. Think of it as your artist's uniform! If it’s a sunny Tāmaki Makaurau day, don't forget your sunblock and a hat.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard workshops typically run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for introductions, learning the basic techniques, practicing your 'tag', and completing a final large-scale piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you get into a flow state without getting tired. We can also customise the duration for specific festival or event needs.

What is included in the price?

Everything is included! Your booking covers the cost of all premium spray paint, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces we paint on. We also bring along practice boards and inspiration sketches. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a camera to capture the progress of your work. There are no hidden costs or 'add-on' fees.

What happens if it rains on the day?

If the Auckland weather doesn't play ball, don't worry! We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations that are well-ventilated and suitable for spray painting. We also have a solid team of backup artists, so even if an instructor catches a cold, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. We guarantee your creative session happens rain or shine!

Is there an age limit for participants?

Generally, our public workshops are great for anyone aged 6 and up. For younger kids, we use water-based spray paints or specialized nozzles that are easier for smaller hands to operate. It’s a fantastic family activity, and we often see three generations painting together! For our bachelor parties or corporate events, the vibe is tailored to be age-appropriate and engaging for adults.

Local culture

Auckland's street art scene is a boiling pot of Pacific influence, local storytelling, and world-class technique. From the towering murals in the CBD to the hidden gems in Ponsonby and Grey Lynn, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops celebrate this unique identity, often drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the Hauraki Gulf and our volcanic landscape. We respect the local history while pushing the boundaries of modern urban expression.

Fun Fact: Did you know Auckland hosts some of the Southern Hemisphere's most talented muralists? Many of the massive artworks you see on your morning commute were created during local art festivals that we absolutely love being a part of! 🏙️
