How it works

  1. Intro & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro to graffiti culture and a quick safety briefing to ensure everyone uses the gear correctly.
  2. Mastering the Nozzle: Kids learn the "can-control" basics—how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and swap tips for thin or thick lines.
  3. Tagging Basics: Every artist needs a signature! We help the students design and practice their own unique "tag" or stylised name.
  4. Sketching the Concept: Participants move to their creative space to sketch out their main design, focusing on shapes and letter structure.
  5. Filling & Fading: The vibrant colors come out! We teach the kids how to fill in their designs and create cool "fades" or gradients between colors.
  6. Outlining & Details: This is where the art pops. We show them how to use high-contrast colors to outline their work and add "highlights" for a 3D effect.
  7. Final Touches: Our pro artists go around to provide 1-on-1 tips, helping each student refine their masterpiece and add those last-minute flourishes.
  8. The Big Reveal: We finish with a group "gallery walk" where everyone can admire each other's work and take awesome photos for social media!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during the school holidays?

Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. Our Hamilton workshops use low-odor, high-quality spray paints. We provide all necessary protective gear, including specialized masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors are experienced in working with kids and teenagers, ensuring they follow safety protocols while having a blast. It’s a controlled, creative, and completely safe environment for your children to learn a new skill.

Do the kids need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our school holiday workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to budding young artists. Our Hamilton-based pros will walk everyone through the basics, from nozzle control to color blending. We focus on building confidence and having fun, so no previous drawing or painting experience is required to create something awesome.

Do I need to pay for the workshop in advance?

No way! We believe in keeping things simple and stress-free for Hamilton parents. There is no upfront payment required when you book your school holiday activity with Graffitifun. You only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with their masterpieces. This ensures a 100% satisfaction guarantee and gives you peace of mind when planning your holiday schedule.

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

We’ve got you covered! In the event of typical Hamilton drizzle, we often have access to covered outdoor spots or indoor creative spaces. If Mother Nature really puts on a show with a major storm, we have a network of backup artists and flexible scheduling to ensure the fun doesn't get cancelled. We always aim to find a solution so the kids don't miss out.

How long does a typical holiday spray painting session last?

Our standard school holiday workshops in Hamilton typically run between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This is the "sweet spot" where kids stay fully engaged, learn the techniques, and have enough time to complete their final canvas without getting tired. We can also customize the duration for larger camps or community groups if you need a longer session—just let us know!

What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

The kids should wear comfortable clothes that they don't mind getting a little messy—just in case! While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is an active art form. We recommend closed-toe shoes (sneakers are perfect) rather than sandals. Since many of our Hamilton locations are outdoors, dressing in layers for the local weather is always a smart move.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything needed for a successful street art experience! This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colors, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the "canvas" (which could be a wall or individual boards). Every participant gets to experiment with professional-grade tools used by real Hamilton street artists to ensure an authentic experience.
