How it works
- Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to street art culture and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear 🎨.
- Idea sketching: Students grab pens and paper to map out their concepts, learning about letter structures and "flow".
- Nozzle practice: Before hitting the main wall, everyone practices basic lines, dots, and fades on a trial surface to get a feel for the spray pressure.
- Outline creation: The "masterpiece" begins! Students work together to sketch the large-scale outlines of the school mural or individual pieces.
- Filling & colouring: This is where the magic happens as we add vibrant colours and gradients, learning how to blend shades smoothly 🌈.
- High-lining & detailing: We add sharp outlines and "shining" highlights to make the artwork pop and look professional.
- Final touches: Students add their own "tags" or signatures to the work, claiming their spot in the creative process.
- Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the finished result with a massive group photo before our team handles all the tidy-up chores.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our workshops in Rakiraki are always led by professional artists who supervise the use of spray cans closely. We use low-odour paints where possible and ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor area or a high-ceilinged indoor space to keep everyone breathing easy while they create.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Most school sessions in Rakiraki last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic nozzle techniques, and allow students to complete a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can easily adjust the schedule to fit your school’s lesson blocks or transform it into a full-day creative 'immersion' event if you really want to dive deep into the craft.
Where in Rakiraki do the workshops take place?
We are completely mobile! We bring the entire studio to your school grounds in Rakiraki. Whether you have a large playground, a sports field, or a ventilated assembly hall, we can set up there. We use mobile plastic walls or large canvases, so we don't need to paint on your actual school buildings unless you specifically want a permanent mural commissioned as part of the project.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors guide the students through every step, from drawing a simple 'tag' to creating complex '3D pieces'. We find that students who don't consider themselves 'traditionally' good at art often thrive in graffiti because it's so physical, bold, and different from standard classroom drawing. It’s all about building confidence and having a blast.
What materials are included in the school package?
We provide everything! This includes a wide range of colourful spray cans, various nozzle types (caps), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We even bring sketches and inspiration sheets. The only thing the school needs to provide is an outdoor space and a group of excited students. We handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving you with nothing but great memories and amazing artwork.
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for teaching teamwork, patience, and spatial awareness. It encourages students to think about public space, urban design, and the difference between vandalism and street art. Many Rakiraki schools use our workshops to engage students who might struggle with traditional academic subjects, providing them with a fresh outlet for self-expression and a huge boost to their local community pride.
How do we book a workshop for our school?
Booking is easy and risk-free. You don’t need to pay anything upfront! Simply reach out to us with your preferred dates and estimated group size. We’ll provide a custom quote for your Rakiraki school. Once confirmed, we handle the logistics, and you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and the students are buzzing with excitement.
