Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our top priority! We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who are experienced in managing student groups. We conduct a thorough safety briefing before any cans are shaken, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly while having a blast. ✨
Do students need to have prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a natural-born artist or has never picked up a paintbrush, our tutors guide them through the process step-by-step. We focus on individual expression and confidence building, so every student walks away feeling proud of what they’ve created on the canvas. 🎨

Where do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can come directly to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor area or a well-ventilated space. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local spot in Tauranga for the session. Being mobile allows us to bring the art studio right to your doorstep, making setup and logistics a breeze for teachers. 🚌
How long does a typical session last?
A typical school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can easily adapt the schedule to fit into your school timetable or a specific "education outside the classroom" day. We make sure the pace is energetic enough to keep students engaged while providing plenty of time for them to perfect their masterpieces. ⏳
What materials are included in the workshop?
Graffitifun provides everything! This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective masks, gloves, and the canvases or boards the students will paint on. We even bring the drop cloths to keep the site tidy. All you need to bring is some old clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on! 🧤
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Absolutely. While we love free expression, we often work with schools to incorporate specific themes, such as local history, school values, or environmental messages. This makes the workshop a powerful teaching tool that aligns with your curriculum goals while giving students a hands-on, memorable experience they'll talk about for ages. 🏫
