Do people need any previous art experience to participate?
Not at all! Our festival workshops in Christchurch are designed for everyone from little kids to grandparents. Our professional artists guide participants through the basics of can control and layering so that even absolute beginners walk away feeling like a legend. We provide all the tips and tricks needed to create something you’ll be proud of, ensuring a fun and inclusive vibe for all festival-goers.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for a busy festival environment?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep everyone clean and safe. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always set up in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large marquees. Our artists are trained to supervise the equipment closely, ensuring that the only thing getting 'wild' at your Christchurch event is the creativity!
What materials do you provide for the festival setup?
We bring everything! This includes a massive range of premium spray paint colours, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be a temporary wall, boards, or even a vehicle). We just need a clear space to set up and, depending on the scale, access to the site for our van. We handle the entire set-up and pack-down so you can focus on running the rest of your event.
Can the workshop be tailored to a specific festival theme?
Absolutely! We love local Christchurch festivals because every event has a unique soul. Whether you want a specific colour palette to match your branding, or a specific theme like 'sustainability' or 'kiwiana', we tailor the workshop and the final mural design to fit your vision perfectly. Just let us know your theme during the booking process and we’ll make it happen.
How many people can participate in the workshop at once?
We are extremely flexible. We can run continuous 'drop-in' sessions where hundreds of people contribute to a single massive mural over the day, or scheduled small-group workshops for a more intimate learning experience. Depending on the setup, we can engage anywhere from 20 to over 500 participants throughout a standard Christchurch festival day.
What happens if it rains on the day of the event?
Don't worry about the Canterbury weather—we've got you covered. For outdoor festivals, we recommend having a marquee or a sheltered area as a backup. If the weather turns, we can usually adapt our setup to work under cover. We also have a large team of backup artists available, so your booking is guaranteed even if an artist is unexpectedly unavailable.
