The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme? It’s not just about spraying paint on a wall; it’s a unique way to engage students who might not thrive in traditional academic settings. Here is why Kilkenny schools love working with us:

  • Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they created themselves gives students a massive sense of achievement. 💪
  • Safe & Legal: We teach the difference between vandalism and street art, providing a legal, positive outlet for their energy. ⚖️
  • Creative Freedom: No "right or wrong" answers here—we encourage every student to find their own unique style. 🌈
  • Team Building: Many of our workshops involve working together on a large collaborative piece, fostering teamwork and communication. 🤝
  • Zero Stress for Teachers: We bring everything and handle the entire setup and cleanup. You just sit back and watch the magic happen! ✨
  • Professional Guidance: Our artists are mentors who inspire the next generation through their own passion for art. 🏆

Step by step

  1. Introduction & Safety: We start with a quick intro to graffiti culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear correctly.
  2. Mastering the Can: Students learn 'can control'—how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and use different caps for thin or thick lines.
  3. Sketching the Concept: Before hitting the boards, we help students sketch out their names or a cool character on paper to plan their masterpiece.
  4. The First Layer: It's time to spray! Students apply their base colours and start filling in the outlines of their designs.
  5. Adding Style: Our artists demonstrate techniques like 'keylines', 'highlights', and 'fades' to make the artwork pop off the surface.
  6. The Outline: This is where the magic happens; adding a sharp outline brings the whole piece together and makes it look professional.
  7. Final Details: Students add stars, bubbles, or personalized 'tags' to give their work that final street-art flair.
  8. Group Gallery: We finish with a showcase where everyone can admire each other's work and take some epic photos for the school social media.

Local culture

Street art in Kilkenny

Kilkenny might be famous for its medieval 'Black Abbey' and the stunning Kilkenny Castle, but there is a growing modern pulse beneath the cobblestones. While the city celebrates its heritage, there is a rising appreciation for contemporary urban expression. Bringing a graffiti workshop here creates a fantastic bridge between the city’s historic artistic roots and the modern world the students live in today. From the creative energy found during the Kilkenny Arts Festival to the hidden gems of street art tucked away in the city's side streets, Kilkenny is a place where creativity is always welcome. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kilkenny is often called the "Marble City"? While the local limestone isn't actually marble, it polishes up just as beautifully—much like how we help students take their rough sketches and polish them into stunning street art pieces! ✨

Pricing

Every school and youth group has different needs, so we keep our pricing flexible. Our Kilkenny graffiti experiences generally range from €30 to €60 per person. This price is all-inclusive of materials, travel, and the expert guidance of our artists. Factors like the number of participants and the specific project (like a permanent wall mural vs. individual canvases) will influence the final cost.

Because we want to give you the best value for your setup, we always recommend getting a tailored estimate. Plus, remember: no upfront payment is required!
