I have zero artistic talent—can I still join a graffiti workshop?

Absolutely! Our workshops are specifically designed for people who have never held a spray can before. Our pro artists in Christchurch will walk you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced layering. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've created. It's all about having fun and letting your imagination run wild in a supportive, creative environment. No judgement, just good vibes and paint!

What materials do I need to bring with me?

We've got you covered. We provide high-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, and all the necessary safety equipment like masks and gloves. We also provide canvases or designated wall space. The only thing you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic' overspray on. We handle the rest!

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

Safety is our number one priority. We use professional-grade respirator masks and provide gloves to keep everyone protected. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Plus, our artists are highly experienced in teaching safe spray techniques. We make sure everyone feels comfortable and secure while they’re getting their hands dirty and creating their masterpieces. It’s all about safe, creative fun!

How long does a typical graffiti experience last?

Our standard workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, some practice drills, and then the main event—creating your own large-scale piece. If you’ve got a bigger group or a specific project in mind, we can definitely extend the time. It’s the perfect length to get stuck in without feeling rushed!

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

Christchurch weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' but don't worry! We have access to several sheltered and indoor-outdoor locations across the city. If the weather looks truly dire, we’ll work with you to reschedule or move to a fully covered spot. We always have backup artists ready to go, so your creative session is in safe hands regardless of the clouds.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is easy as! Just fill out our online request form with your group size and preferred date. We’ll get back to you quickly with a custom quote. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required. You can settle the bill after the workshop is finished. We’re all about making the process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on the art!

Local culture

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! 🎨

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!
