Frequently asked questions
Is the spray paint safe for school students to use?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring everyone uses the cans correctly. We also choose the best outdoor or well-ventilated locations in Napier to make sure the environment is perfect for a creative session. Parents and teachers can rest easy knowing the kids are in safe hands. 🛡️
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to budding artists. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, nozzle control, and simple lines. Our artists guide students through every step, helping them build confidence. By the end of the day, every student will have contributed to a piece of art they can truly be proud of! 🎨
What should students wear to the workshop?
We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide full protective suits and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves if you're getting really stuck in. Think of it as a badge of honour from your time as a street artist! 👟
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop usually runs between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a crash course in techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. If you have a specific school schedule or assembly to work around, just let us know. We’re super flexible and can adapt the timing to suit your Napier school’s timetable. ⏰
Where in Napier do the workshops take place?
We can host the workshop at your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor area, or we can suggest great local spots around Napier. We are fully mobile and bring all the gear to you—boards, paint, masks, the lot! This makes it easy for schools to integrate the activity into a normal school day without the hassle of organizing major transport. 🏫
Can we choose a specific theme for our mural?
Definitely! We love incorporating school values, specific themes like 'kaitiakitanga' (guardianship), or even your school’s mascot into the final mural. Just tell us what you're learning about in class, and we’ll help the students translate those ideas into a massive, colourful graffiti display. It’s a great way to make the learning stick! 💡
What happens if the artist is sick on the day?
No worries at all! We have a solid lineup of backup professional artists ready to jump in. We pride ourselves on reliability and have never cancelled a workshop due to staff illness. If your lead artist can't make it, another equally talented pro will be there to ensure your Napier school event goes off without a hitch. Your booking is 100% secure with us! ✅
