Do I need to be an artist to join a workshop in Rotorua?

No experience is needed at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners of all ages. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can and control the pressure—and guide you through every step until you've created a piece you're proud of. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed, Kiwi-style environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs clear. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard public art workshop usually runs for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for professional demonstrations, practice sessions, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a larger group or a specific project in mind, we can adjust the timing to suit your schedule. Just let us know what you need when you book!

What should we wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide protective gear like overalls and gloves, spray paint can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think of it as your artist's uniform! It’s best to dress for the Rotorua weather since we’ll be working outdoors.

What happens if it rains on the day?

If the weather turns a bit 'choice' (as we say in NZ), we have backup plans! We either move the workshop to a sheltered, well-ventilated location or, if the rain is too heavy, we can reschedule for a better day. We’ll always keep you in the loop so your creative plans don't get washed away by a Rotorua downpour.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

Absolutely! Our workshops are a massive hit for kids' parties, school groups, and family outings. We use age-appropriate techniques and ensure the environment is safe and engaging for younger artists. It’s a fantastic way for kids to burn off some energy, learn a new skill, and express themselves in a way that’s totally unique.

How much does a public art workshop cost?

Rotorua prices are tailored to your specific needs, depending on the number of legends in your group, the location, and the amount of paint required. We don't require any payment upfront—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience. Flick us a message for a quick, no-obligation quote!
