Step by step

  1. The Intro: Meet your pro artist and get a quick rundown of the history of street art in Christchurch and New Zealand.
  2. Gear Up: We’ll fit you with your safety mask and gloves. Safety first, style second (but a close second!).
  3. The Basics: Learn how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and which caps to use for fat lines or skinny details.
  4. First Sprays: Hit the practice wall to get a feel for the paint. It’s all about building confidence with the nozzle.
  5. Sketching your Piece: Map out your design on the canvas or wall using light 'ghost' lines to guide your work.
  6. Filling In: This is where the colour comes to life! We’ll show you how to blend and fill large areas evenly.
  7. The Outline: Add the crisp lines that make your graffiti pop. This is the secret to a professional-looking piece.
  8. Final Details: Add highlights, shines, and your personal 'tag' to claim your masterpiece.
  9. Photo Op: Strike a pose in front of your work! We’ll take high-quality photos for you to show off to your mates.

Local culture

Street art in Christchurch

Christchurch has reinvented itself as the street art capital of New Zealand. Since the 2011 quakes, the city's walls have become a massive, open-air gallery, with world-class murals by local legends and international stars. From the towering figures on the Canterbury Museum to the hidden gems in the SALT District, street art is in our DNA. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, giving you a chance to join the ranks of those who have helped shape the city's visual soul. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Christchurch was once named one of the top cities in the world for street art by Lonely Planet? It's right up there with Berlin and New York for its incredible urban murals! 🎨

Pricing

Every street art experience is unique! Whether you're looking for a quick bash with some mates or a full-blown collaborative mural project, we tailor our sessions to your needs. Prices depend on your group size, location, and the specific setup you’re after. The best part? You don't pay a cent until the workshop is done—we believe in 100% satisfaction!
