How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Our standard schools workshops usually run for about 2 hours, which is the perfect sweet spot for keeping energy high and creativity flowing. However, we can easily adapt the schedule to fit your specific lesson blocks or school day timings. Whether you need a short taster session or a full day of artistic immersion, we can tailor the experience to suit your Waterford classroom requirements.

What safety measures do you take during school workshops?

Absolute safety is our priority. We provide high quality protective gear including overalls, gloves, and high filtration masks for every student and teacher involved. We also use low pressure spray cans that are easier for beginners to control. Our professional artists supervise every single spray to ensure students are following safety protocols while they enjoy the creative process in a controlled, educational environment.

Do students need previous drawing or art skills to participate?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and accessible for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. We start with the absolute basics of can control and simple lines, building up to more complex shapes and shading. Our artists guide students through every step, ensuring that every participant creates something they are proud of by the end of the session.

Do we need to travel to a studio or do you come to our school?

We can bring the graffiti workshop directly to your school grounds! All we need is a well ventilated outdoor area or a very large indoor space with high ceilings and proper airflow. If your school doesn't have a suitable spot, we can often arrange a local Waterford area that works perfectly for a creative field trip. We provide all the boards or canvases, so school walls stay clean.

How does the payment process work for Irish schools?

We believe in making things easy for educators. There is no upfront payment required to book your workshop. You can pay after the session is successfully completed. This gives you peace of mind and ensures you are 100% happy with the experience before any funds are transferred. We can provide all the necessary invoicing and paperwork required by school administration offices.

Is there an age limit for students participating in the workshop?

We recommend a minimum age of 8 years old for our spray paint workshops. This is mainly because the spray cans require a certain amount of finger strength and height for safe handling. For younger primary school students, we can offer modified workshops using paint markers or street art stencils that are just as fun but much easier for smaller hands to manage safely.
