Do I need to be artistic or have drawing skills to join?

You definitely don't need to be the next Banksy to have a blast! Our Tauranga workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and shapes before moving on to the cool stuff like shading and highlights. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process.

What safety gear do you provide during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs clear. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces around Tauranga. Our facilitators also give a full safety briefing before anyone pops a cap, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly and safely.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little 'character' on—just in case! While we provide protective overalls, spray paint can be a bit cheeky and find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Tauranga can be quite sunny, bringing a hat and some sunscreen for our outdoor sessions is also a brilliant idea.

How long does a typical session last?

Most of our standard public art workshops in Tauranga run for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety intro, some practice runs on the 'training wall,' and then plenty of time for you to complete your actual masterpiece. If you're looking for a more intensive session or a quick team-building 'taster,' we can definitely adjust the timing to suit your group's schedule.

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

We love a good Tauranga sunshine day, but if the weather decides not to play ball, we've got you covered. We have access to sheltered outdoor spaces and indoor venues that are properly ventilated for spray painting. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists, so even if one of our pros catches a cold, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. Rain or shine, the art stays on!

Can I take my artwork home with me afterwards?

Absolutely! For our public art workshops, we encourage participants to work on individual canvases or boards that you can take home to show off to your mates. For larger group projects or brand activations, we often work on a massive communal mural. If you've created a piece on a portable surface, it'll be dry enough to transport by the time we finish the pack-down.

How does the payment process work?

Booking with Graffitifun is totally stress-free. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your date in Tauranga. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, and our cost calculator can give you an instant estimate based on your group size so there are no surprises when the bill arrives.

Local culture

Tauranga isn't just about the golden sands of Mount Maunganui; it's a city that's rapidly becoming a hub for Kiwi street art. With events like the Paradox Street Art Festival having left a lasting legacy on our walls, the local scene is thriving with talent. Our workshops tap into this unique Bay of Plenty spirit, blending the relaxed coastal lifestyle with the raw, urban energy of the underground art scene.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tauranga is home to dozens of large-scale professional murals? You can find incredible works by world-renowned artists tucked away in the alleyways of the CBD and alongside the bustling streets of Mount Maunganui!

By joining a workshop here, you're not just learning a craft; you're becoming part of a community that celebrates public expression. We often host our sessions in spaces that capture the 'Mount' vibe, making sure the atmosphere is as inspiring as the art you're creating. It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon before heading over to the Strand for a celebrate-your-art drink.

Pricing

We believe every creative project is unique, so we don't do "one size fits all" pricing. Our rates are crafted based on your group size, the venue, and the specific materials you want to use. Whether it's a small crew of mates or a massive community festival, we'll give you a fair and transparent price.
