How it works

  1. Safety first: We start by getting everyone suited up in protective gear and explaining the importance of the respirators and floor protection.
  2. History and culture: Your lead artist gives a quick, high-energy intro to the roots of graffiti and how it evolved into the global street art movement.
  3. Can control: Learn the basics of how to hold the can, modulate pressure, and use different 'caps' for thick or thin lines.
  4. Sketching the vision: Use chalk or light spray to map out the basic shapes and layout of your design on the canvas.
  5. Filling and fading: Master the art of the 'fill-in' and learn how to blend colours seamlessly for that professional look.
  6. Outlining: This is where the magic happens! We show you how to add sharp outlines to make your letters and characters 'pop'.
  7. Highlights and details: Add the finishing touches—shine lines, background 'bubbles', and fine details that bring the piece to life.
  8. The big reveal: Step back with the group to admire the collective gallery of work and snap some epic photos for the 'gram.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

You don't need any prior art skills to join our Lautoka workshops! Our professional artist-mentors are experts at breaking down the process into simple, manageable steps. We've seen people who have never held a spray can before create stunning pieces by the end of the session. We focus on 'controlled spraying' techniques that make it easy for anyone to produce something they are proud of. Just bring your enthusiasm and we will handle the rest!

Is the paint safe and do you provide protective gear?

Safety is our biggest priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks to ensure no one breathes in fumes, along with protective overalls and gloves to keep your clothes clean. All our paint is professional-grade and handled under the supervision of experienced artists. We conduct our sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces in Lautoka, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all participants to enjoy their creative journey.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable 'play clothes' and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves occasionally! Since we are in Fiji, light, breathable clothing is best, but definitely avoid your Sunday best. Having comfortable footwear is important as you'll be standing and moving around your canvas quite a bit.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public art workshops usually run between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the movement, practice basic techniques, and then dive deep into creating a final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where people stay energised and creative without getting fatigued. For larger community projects or bespoke murals in Lautoka, the duration can be extended across multiple days depending on the scale.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! One of the best parts of our Lautoka workshop is that you get to keep your creation. We usually work on high-quality canvases or boards that are easy to transport. Once the paint is dry (which happens very quickly in the Fiji sun), you can take your artwork home to show off to friends and family. It’s a fantastic, unique souvenir of your creative experience in the Sugar City!

Where exactly in Lautoka do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! While we have several 'street-legal' spots and partner locations across Lautoka where we regularly host workshops, we can also come to you. If you have a private wall, a backyard, or a school playground with the right permissions, our mobile unit can set up almost anywhere. We bring all the boards, paint, and gear required to turn any space into a temporary street art studio.

Is there an age limit for the workshop?

We generally recommend our workshops for ages 6 and up. For younger children, we use water-based spray cans or specialized techniques that are easier for smaller hands to manage. For adults, there is no upper age limit—street art is for everyone! We tailor our teaching style to the age group, ensuring that kids get a fun, high-energy intro while adults can delve deeper into the technical aspects of style and mural composition.
