  2. Street art history: Grab a quick hit of inspiration as our artists share the evolution of graffiti from underground tags to world-class gallery pieces.
  3. Mastering the can: We'll show you the ropes—literally! Learn about finger pressure, distance, and how different 'caps' change your spray pattern from thin lines to fat fills.
  4. Sketching your design: Grab some paper or go straight to the wall! Our pros help you map out your concept, focusing on flow and composition.
  5. Colour blending basics: This is where the magic happens. We teach you how to layer colours and create those iconic 'fades' that make street art pop.
  6. Outline and detail: Use high-contrast colours to bring your piece to life. Our artists help you steady your hand for those crisp, final lines.
  7. Creative freedom: It’s your turn to shine! Spend time refining your work, adding 'bits' like sparkles, drips, or shadows to give it that authentic Wellington edge.

Frequently asked questions

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

No prior art skills are needed at all! Our Wellington graffiti workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to layering colours and creating sharp outlines. It’s all about having a go, getting creative, and enjoying the process in a relaxed, supportive environment. You'll be amazed at what you can create by the end of the session!

What materials are included in the cultural event package?

We provide everything you need to get stuck in! This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and respiratory masks for your safety. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and all the specialized nozzles (caps) required for different effects. Just wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective clothing for every participant. All workshops are led by experienced professionals who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour paints where possible and ensure all outdoor or well-ventilated indoor spaces meet safety standards, making it a safe and fun experience for all ages and skill levels.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our standard cultural event workshops in Wellington typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and for everyone to complete their own masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a larger festival, we can easily adapt the timing to suit your event's needs.

Can you host the workshop at our specific event location in Pōneke?

Absolutely! We love bringing the spray paint to you. Whether it’s a community centre, a school car park, or a private backyard, we can set up a mobile workshop almost anywhere in Wellington. We use portable cellophan walls or canvases to ensure we leave the site exactly as we found it. If you don't have a spot, we can suggest some awesome local locations that work perfectly.

How does the payment process work and is there a guarantee?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require any upfront payment. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you’re stoked with the results! We accept bank transfers and major credit cards. We also have backup artists on standby for every booking, so you never have to worry about a "no-show." Your event’s success is our top guarantee.

What is the cost for a group graffiti workshop?

The price generally ranges from NZ$45 to NZ$95 per person. The total cost depends on how many people are joining in, the location of the event, and the specific materials required (like individual canvases versus a giant mural). For the most accurate price for your group, we recommend using our online Cost Calculator or reaching out for a custom quote tailored to your Wellington event.
