How it works
- Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and get everyone kitted out in protective gear.
- Mastering the can: Our pro artists show you the ropes—literally. You'll learn how to hold the spray can, control pressure, and swap nozzles for different effects.
- Sketching the concept: Whether it's a giant mural or your own piece, we help you map out your design using 'ghost lines' on the wall or canvas.
- Filling in the colour: The fun part! You'll learn how to 'fill' large areas smoothly and create vibrant gradients that pop.
- Outlining and details: We teach you the 'cut-back' technique to sharpen those edges and make your graffiti look professional and crisp.
- Adding highlights and 'bits': Give your art that 3D look with highlights, flares, and those final creative touches that define New Zealand street style.
- The big reveal: Step back, drop the cans, and admire the collective masterpiece you've created with the rest of the Auckland crew!

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any prior art experience to participate?
Absolutely! Our Auckland street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our pro artists guide you through every step, starting with basic can control and line work before moving on to fills and effects. You don’t need to be 'good at drawing' to create something epic. We focus on technique and having a blast, ensuring you leave with a masterpiece you're proud of.🎨
Is the spray paint safe and do you provide gear?
Safety and cleanliness are huge for us. We provide all participants with high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't get paint on your clothes or breathe in fumes. While we provide gear, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' and comfortable sneakers just in case. Your safety is our number one priority while we’re getting stuck into the creative process!💪
How long does a typical workshop session last?
Our standard festival workshop sessions in Auckland usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and completing a full-scale mural or individual canvas. If you’re hosting a larger event, we can run multiple 'drop-in' sessions throughout the day to make sure everyone gets a turn at the wall.✨
What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?
New Zealand weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day', but we’ve got you covered! If your Auckland event is outdoors, we can usually arrange marquees or move the session to a sheltered area. If the weather is really packing a sad, we can use our indoor-safe water-based paints on canvases or boards, so the festival vibes don't have to stop just because of a bit of rain.🌧️
Can you bring the workshop to our specific event location?
We love bringing the art to you! While we have several 'graffiti-friendly' spots around Auckland, we are fully mobile. We can set up temporary 'cellograff' walls (plastic wrap between poles) or use wooden panels at your festival site, school, or office car park. As long as we have a bit of ventilation and space to move, we can turn almost any Auckland location into a temporary street art gallery.📍
How does the booking and payment process work?
We make the booking process as easy as a Sunday morning. You don't need to pay anything upfront! Once we’ve chatted about your group size and Auckland location, we’ll lock in the date. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event never gets cancelled.
