Is graffiti spray painting safe for kids and teenagers?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons. Our professional artists are experts at supervising younger groups, ensuring everyone follows the safety guidelines while having a blast. The workshop is held in a well-ventilated area or outdoors, making it a perfectly safe and controlled environment for your creative journey.

What is the minimum age for the after-school workshop?

Ideally, participants should be aged 8 and up. This ensures they have the physical strength to press the spray nozzles and the focus to follow the artistic instructions. We tailor our teaching style to suit different age groups, from primary school kids to older teens, making sure the difficulty level is just right for everyone to walk away feeling like a pro.

What should the students wear to the workshop?

Comfort is key! We recommend wearing 'old' clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a few speckles of paint on. While we provide protective aprons and gear, graffiti is a messy art form, and sometimes the paint likes to travel! It’s best to leave the brand-new trainers at home for this session so you can focus entirely on your masterpiece without worries.

Do students need prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners who have never touched a spray can to budding young artists. Our instructors start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and simple lines—before moving on to more complex techniques. Every student will receive personal guidance to help them create something they are truly proud of.

Where in Galway do these workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop to your school grounds in Galway if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor hall. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local creative space or a legal graffiti wall location. We provide all the boards, plastic sheeting, and materials, so we can turn almost any space into a temporary street art studio.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard after-school sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of time to learn the history of graffiti, practice fundamental techniques, and complete a final piece of art. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can easily adapt the timing to fit your school's extracurricular timetable or afternoon club slots.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective masks, gloves, aprons, and the surfaces we paint on (usually large wooden panels or canvases). We also bring sketches, caps, and cleaning materials. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some old clothes—we take care of all the logistics and the messy bits!

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. Simply fill out our contact form or use our online cost calculator to get an estimate. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. If you need to change the date, our backup artist system ensures we can almost always accommodate your needs without cancellations.

The experience

Standard art classes are great, but there’s something special about the hiss of a spray can that really gets students engaged. Here is why our after-school sessions are the talk of the playground:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive, colourful piece of art come to life helps students realise they are capable of big things. 🚀
Total inclusivity: You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to be great at graffiti. It’s all about style and attitude!
Stress relief: Spraying paint is incredibly therapeutic and a great way to blow off steam after a long day of study. 💨
Professional artists: Our team isn't just hobbyists—they are active street artists who know how to inspire the next generation. 💪
No risk booking: With our backup artist policy and pay-after-the-event model, your school's budget is always safe with us. 🏆

Step by step

Tagging basics: Start by choosing your 'street name' and learning the flow of handstyles and tags.
Can control 101: Practice the 'feeling' of the spray can, learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth fades.
Sketching the masterpiece: Map out your main design on the board using light 'ghost' lines to get the proportions just right.
Filling in the colours: Learn the 'inside-out' technique to fill your letters with vibrant gradients and funky patterns.
The power of the outline: See your art pop as you add sharp black outlines and '3D' depth effects to your letters.
Detailing and highlights: Add those final 'shines' and 'splats' that make a piece look professionally finished.
The big reveal: Step back and admire the group's work! We wrap up with a cool photo session with your finished masterpieces.

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Galway is a city that breathes creativity, from the buskers on Shop Street to the murals tucked away in the West End. It’s a place where tradition meets edgy modern culture, making it the perfect backdrop for a graffiti workshop. We love tapping into that 'Galway vibe'—incorporating the city's maritime history or its legendary 'Macnas' spirit into our designs. Whether we are inspired by the Spanish Arch or the wild Atlantic waves, our workshops help local students connect with the urban landscape they see every day.

Fun Fact: Did you know Galway was a European Capital of Culture? The city has a long history of supporting public art, and by learning graffiti, students are joining a long lineage of Galway creatives who aren't afraid to use the world as their canvas!

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible for school groups and youth clubs. The cost typically stretches from €30 to €60 per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether you want individual canvases to take home or a large communal mural.

We believe in total transparency and flexibility. That’s why we offer a No-Cure, No-Pay guarantee and you only pay after the event is finished and you’re buzzing with excitement! ✨
