How it works

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your pro graffiti artist and get a quick rundown of the day’s creative flow and safety basics.
Gear up: Slip into your protective overalls, pop on your mask, and grab your gloves—it's time to get into character!
Master the nozzle: Learn the 'can control' basics. Discover how different caps and distances change your lines from thin to thick.
Sketching your vision: Brainstorm your design. Use our Tag Creator tool or work with the artist to sketch a concept that blends street style with local culture.
The first layer: Start with the 'fill-in.' This is where you flood your canvas with bold, vibrant colours to create a solid base.
Adding the outline: Here’s where the magic happens! Use a contrasting colour to give your piece structure and make those shapes pop.
Detailing and effects: Add highlights, shadows, and 'flare' to give your artwork depth and that authentic professional street art finish.
The final reveal: Step back and admire the collective masterpiece. It’s the perfect moment for a group photo with your new creation!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

The safety of our participants is our absolute number one priority. We provide professional-grade protective gear, including masks and gloves.

Furthermore, our artists are trained to guide you on the correct and safe handling of spray cans to ensure everyone has a fun, injury-free experience.

Can children join the cultural graffiti event?

Yes, we love making street art accessible for the whole family! We generally recommend a minimum age of 6 or 7 years old so that children have the hand strength to operate the spray cans. Our instructors are fantastic with kids, ensuring they stay engaged and safe while they explore their creativity. It’s a brilliant way for youngsters to express themselves in a bold, new way.

Where in Mount Hagen does the workshop take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations. We can host the event at a dedicated outdoor spot, a local community space, or even at your own premises if there is a suitable outdoor area with proper ventilation and protection for the surroundings. If you are unsure where to go, just let us know and we can help find the perfect vibe for your Mount Hagen event.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard graffiti cultural experience usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger festival timeframe to work around, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your event's unique needs and flow.
