What is the minimum age for the Cork graffiti workshops?

For our after school programs in Cork, we generally recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This ensures that the students have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans and the focus to follow safety instructions. We use lighter-pressure cans specifically designed for younger artists to make the experience easier and more rewarding!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all students. Our professional artists are trained in workshop safety management and ensure that the session takes place in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor space here in Cork. We use professional-grade materials that are safe when handled correctly under our supervision.

What happens if it rains during our Cork workshop?

The Irish weather can be bit unpredictable, but it won't stop the fun! We have several covered outdoor locations in Cork that keep the rain off while maintaining great ventilation. If the weather is really against us, we can often relocate to a suitable indoor space or reschedule the session. We always have a backup plan to ensure the creativity keeps flowing.

What if the graffiti artist is unavailable?

We pride ourselves on being reliable. Unlike independent freelancers who might have to cancel if they get sick, Graffitifun has a large team of professional artists across Ireland. We have backup artists on standby to ensure your after school program goes ahead as planned, providing you with peace of mind and consistency for the kids.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics of 'can control' and simple lines before moving on to more complex shapes. Our artists are talented at teaching students of all skill levels, ensuring that every child walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

Do the children get to take their artwork home?

Yes, they do! While we often work on large collaborative murals, we also provide individual canvases or boards for students to work on. This means every participant in the Cork after school group gets to take their own unique piece of street art home to show off to their family and friends. It’s the perfect souvenir of their creative journey!

How long does a typical after school session last?

Our standard after school sessions in Cork typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp. However, we can easily adapt the duration to fit your specific school schedule or after-school club requirements. Just let us know what works best for your group!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after school program in Cork? It’s more than just painting on walls—it’s about building skills that last a lifetime. Here’s why the kids (and the parents!) love what we do:

🔥 Confidence boost: Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your small sketch turn into a massive, colorful mural.
🎨 Real creative freedom: We ditch the rules of traditional art and let the kids express their unique styles and "tags."
🤝 Teamwork in action: Many of our projects involve collaborative murals where students must communicate and work together to finish the piece.
🛡️ 100% safe & professional: With top-tier safety gear and professional artists, we provide a controlled environment for a "wild" art form.
🏆 Result oriented: Everyone goes home with a new skill, a sense of pride, and often their very own piece of custom street art.
✨ Hassle-free booking: No upfront payments, backup artists always ready, and we bring everything to you!

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We start with a quick chat about street art history and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly.
Design brainstorming: Students grab a sketchbook to doodle their ideas, focusing on tags, 'throw-ups,' and character concepts.
Can control basics: Our pros show the kids how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure for different effects.
Sketching the wall: Using light colors, the students transfer their paper designs onto the large practice surface or canvas.
Filling in the color: This is where the magic happens! The kids learn how to apply vibrant colors smoothly and create cool gradients.
Outlining and highlights: We teach the secret to making art 'pop'—adding sharp black outlines and white highlights for a 3D effect.
The finishing touches: Students add personal details, 'flaunches,' and drips to give their work that authentic street edge.
Photo session and cleanup: We take group photos with the finished masterpiece before tidying up the site and packing up the gear.

Good to know

Group sizes: Flexible! We cater to small groups of 10 or large school cohorts of 30+ students with multiple artists.
Duration: Standard sessions are 1.5 to 2 hours, but we can customize this to fit your timetable.
What's included: Professional spray cans, nozzles, protective masks, gloves, overalls, and canvases/boards.
Safety: Full risk assessments provided. We use high-quality safety gear and strictly follow Irish health and safety guidelines.
Instructors: All our artists are Garda vetted and have extensive experience working with children and teenagers.

Local culture

Cork has a long-standing love affair with street art, from the iconic murals in the Lapps Quay area to the hidden gems tucked away in the lanes off Oliver Plunkett Street. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the city's rich maritime history and its legendary 'rebel' attitude. We often reference famous Cork street spots to show the kids how art can transform urban spaces into open-air galleries.

Fun Fact: Did you know Cork is home to some of Ireland's largest legal graffiti walls? These spaces have allowed the local scene to thrive, making Cork a primary destination for street artists from all over the world!

Pricing

Our Cork after school workshops are competitively priced to ensure as many students as possible can join the fun. Prices typically range from €30 to €60 per person, depending on the number of participants, the length of the program, and the materials required (like take-home canvases).

We believe in total transparency—there are no hidden fees and no upfront payment is required. You only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is happy!
