Why choose a graffiti workshop for your university group in Mount Hagen? It’s more than just painting; it’s an explosion of energy that breaks down barriers and builds real connections. Here’s why it’s the best choice for your next campus event:

How it works

The intro & sketch: We kick things off with a brief history of street art and teach you how to sketch your first 'tag' or 'piece' on paper to plan your design.
Safety first: Get geared up in our protective suits and masks. Our pros show you the right way to handle the cans for a smooth, safe experience.
Mastering the spray: Head to the practice wall to learn 'can control.' You'll practice lines, dots, and fills to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
Colour blocking: Time to pick your palette! Learn how to layer colours and create bold backgrounds that make your art pop.
The outline: This is where the magic happens. We guide you through the process of outlining your sketch to give it that sharp, professional graffiti look.
Details & highlights: Add 'flare,' shadows, and 3D effects. Our artists will show you the tricks to make your letters look like they’re jumping off the wall.
Grand finale: Finish your masterpiece and take some epic group photos with your crew. You can even keep your canvases or leave a mural behind!

Pricing

We believe every university event should be as unique as the students attending. Because the number of participants and the choice of canvases varies, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price tag. Whether you’re planning a small club social or a giant first-year orientation bash, we’ve got options for every budget!

Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Mount Hagen university workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned scribblers. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics—from how to hold the can to mastering complex layering techniques. Most of our students have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they're proud of. It's all about finding your flow and having a blast!

Is a graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs clear. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially prepared indoor spaces. Our artists start every session with a comprehensive safety briefing to ensure everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly while still having maximum fun.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Standard university workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the theory, practice your lines on a 'plastic wall' or practice board, and then complete a final collective mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific timeframe in mind for a campus event or festival, we can easily customise the duration to fit your schedule!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (overalls, gloves, masks), and the surfaces to paint on. We can set up temporary 'cellowalls' (industrial cling film spans) or provide large canvases. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your enthusiasm!

Where in Mount Hagen does the workshop take place?

We are incredibly flexible. We can come directly to your University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) campus or any nearby student housing in Mount Hagen. If you don't have a suitable outdoor space, we can help find a local spot or use our mobile street art setups. We’ll work with your student union or faculty to ensure the location is perfect for a mess-free experience.

How much does a university workshop cost?

We don't have a flat rate because every university group is unique! Prices depend on the number of students, the duration of the session, and the materials required (like specific mural walls vs. individual canvases). We offer competitive student-friendly rates and require no upfront payment. Use our online Cost Calculator or request a quick quote for an instant estimate tailored to your budget.

Can we create a collaborative mural for our campus?

Definitely! Street art is a powerful medium for social change and campus pride. We can facilitate a session where students collaborate on a massive mural that reflects university values, local Mount Hagen culture, or specific departmental themes. These 'Unity Murals' are fantastic for building community spirit and leaving a lasting legacy on your campus. Just let us know your vision, and we’ll help you paint it!
