Why choose us in Mount Hagen?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school activity? Because it’s the ultimate way to engage kids who might feel uninspired by traditional art classes. It’s physical, it’s modern, and it feels a little bit "rebellious"—even though it's perfectly legal and safe! 🎤

  • Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant piece of art they created with their own hands gives students an incredible sense of achievement. 🏆
  • Team Building: Collaborative murals teach kids how to communicate and work together towards a massive visual goal.
  • Stress Relief: There’s something incredibly therapeutic about the "hiss" of the can and the flow of the paint.
  • Professional Mentorship: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are real-world creators who inspire kids to explore creative careers. ✨
  • Safe Environment: We provide a controlled space for kids to explore urban art without the risks associated with illegal tagging.
  • No Stress for Schools: We handle everything from setup to cleanup, leaving the site as tidy as we found it. 💪

How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro to graffiti culture and a quick safety briefing on how to use the gear properly.
  2. Basic Handling: Kids learn the "can-control" fundamentals—how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and create clean dots and lines.
  3. Tagging Practice: Every artist needs a signature! We help the students develop their own "tag" or artistic nickname on practice boards.
  4. Sketching the Concept: Using markers or chalk, the participants outline their main design, learning about letter structure and spacing.
  5. Filling & Fading: The fun part! The kids learn how to fill in their letters with vibrant colours and create cool gradient "fade" effects.
  6. Outlining & 3D: We teach them how to make their art pop off the canvas using bold outlines and simple 3D shadow techniques.
  7. Details & Highlights: The finishing touches! Adding "shines," bubbles, or stars to give the artwork that professional street art look.
  8. Group Masterpiece: Depending on the setup, the kids might collaborate on a large mural or finish their individual canvases to take home.
  9. Photo Ops & Cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo of the young artists and their work before we handle all the tidy-up.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for younger children?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray cans whenever possible for indoor use, and we provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are trained to supervise children closely, ensuring they use the equipment correctly while having a blast in a secure, controlled environment. Your kids are in safe hands with Graffitifun!

What is the minimum age for participants?

Our after-school workshops are generally designed for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they typically have the hand strength to operate the spray nozzles and the focus to follow the artistic techniques. However, we can adapt our sessions for slightly younger groups using alternative materials. If you have a specific age group in mind, just let us know and we’ll tailor the experience!

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the basics, teaching kids how to hold a can and create simple lines before moving on to more complex techniques. The goal is to build confidence and have fun, regardless of prior artistic experience or natural drawing ability.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We come fully prepared! Graffitifun provides everything needed for a successful session, including a wide variety of colourful spray paints, protective masks, gloves, disposable ponchos, and the canvases or boards the kids will be painting on. The only thing we suggest is that participants wear "play clothes" that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on—just in case!

How long does a typical after-school session last?

A standard after-school session typically lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a brief introduction, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice time, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can adjust the duration to fit your specific school schedule or extracurricular timetable if you need something shorter or longer.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in our service so much that we offer a 'pay-after' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. Once the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with the results, we’ll handle the payment. This ensures a stress-free experience for organisers and gives you total peace of mind regarding the quality of our workshops.

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

While the Highlands weather can be unpredictable, we’ve got it covered. We can set up undercover areas or move the workshop to a well-ventilated indoor space like a gym or hall. We always have backup artists available too, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations. Rain or shine, the creativity in Mount Hagen keeps on flowing!
