Is the paint safe for students and teachers to use?

Our staff and student safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high quality masks, gloves, and overalls. The spray paints we use are professional grade but we always conduct sessions in well ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Our lead artists are experienced in managing large school groups and will provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a can.

Can we link the workshop to our current school curriculum?

Absolutely! We can tailor the workshop to focus on specific educational themes such as local Hamilton history, environmental awareness, or school values. Some schools choose to create a large collaborative mural that stays on a school wall, while others prefer students to work on individual canvases they can take home. Just let us know your curriculum goals and we will make it happen.

How long does a typical school graffiti session last?

The ideal duration for a school workshop in Hamilton is usually between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for the history lesson, technique practice, and the final creation without losing the students focus. For larger schools, we can run multiple back to back sessions throughout a single school day to ensure every year group gets a chance to participate.

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Don't worry about the weather. If the famous Waikato rain decides to show up, we can usually move the workshop under a large canopy, into a well ventilated sports hall, or reschedule to a better day. We have plenty of backup plans and artists available to ensure your school event goes ahead smoothly regardless of the New Zealand weather.

Do we need to provide any materials ourselves?

We provide everything you need for a successful creative day. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps, protective clothing, masks, and the surfaces to paint on. Whether we are painting a permanent school wall or portable wooden panels, Graffitifun brings the entire studio to your campus in Hamilton so you can focus on the fun.

What is the minimum age for students to participate?

While most school workshops are for students aged 8 and up because of the coordination needed for the spray cans, we can adapt our sessions for younger groups using paint markers or stencils. It is a fantastic way to build fine motor skills and confidence in a supportive, urban art environment. We adjust our teaching style to match the age group perfectly.

Initial consultation: We chat about your school goals, student numbers, and the specific vision you have for your Hamilton campus.
Design phase: Our artists can help your students brainstorm themes, from local Waikato landmarks to abstract concepts and school mottos.
Setup and safety: On the day, we arrive early to set up the "spray zone" with protective floor coverings and distribute safety gear to everyone.
The history lesson: We start with a high energy intro about the evolution of street art from New York subways to the galleries of the world.
Mastering the can: Students learn technical skills like creating clean lines, "fading" colours, and the importance of nozzle control.
Sketching the mural: We help students scale up their ideas onto the wall or boards using light "sketch" colours.
Filling and detailing: The real fun begins as the students layer colours and add sharp outlines and highlights to make their work pop.
Final reveal: Once the paint is dry, we remove the tape and protective gear to reveal a stunning piece of collaborative school art.
Clean up: We leave your school grounds exactly as we found them, except for the beautiful new artwork left behind!

Hamilton is a city that truly understands the power of public art. From the incredible murals featured in the Boon Street Art Festival to the creative buzz around Victoria Street, the "Tron" is a fantastic place for aspiring young artists to find inspiration. We love incorporating the local spirit into our school sessions, perhaps taking a cue from the lush Hamilton Gardens or the rowing spirit of the Waikato. 🚣

Fun fact: Hamilton is home to world class street art, and some of the best murals in New Zealand are hidden right here in the CBD alleyways. It is the perfect backdrop for students to transition from admiring art to creating it themselves! ✨
