How long does a typical after-school workshop last?

A standard after-school graffiti session in Waterford usually lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high while ensuring everyone has enough time to finish their masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule to stick to at your school or youth club, just let us know and we can adjust the timing to fit your needs!

Is the spray paint safe for kids and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists are fully trained in site safety and we use low-odour, high-quality spray paints. We also ensure the workspace is properly ventilated and that all students follow our clear safety instructions before any cans are shaken. It's all about having fun in a secure environment.

Do students need to have any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. Our expert graffiti instructors will guide the group through the basics of 'can control,' lettering, and shading. You'll be amazed at the high-standard of work the students can produce by the end of a single session with the right guidance. Experience isn't needed—just enthusiasm!

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We've got you covered! We provide everything: a huge variety of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. Whether we are using boards, canvases, or a dedicated wall space, we bring the whole studio to you. The students just need to show up in some old clothes they don't mind getting a tiny bit dusty and bring their creative energy.

Where do these workshops usually take place?

We can set up the workshop right at your school or youth centre in Waterford. We usually work outdoors in a playground or sheltered area, but if the Irish weather isn't behaving, we can also set up indoors with specific protective measures and proper ventilation. We are fully mobile and flexible, making it easier for parents and teachers to organise after-school activities without extra travel.

What age group is this after-school activity suitable for?

We generally recommend our graffiti workshops for ages 8 and up. At this age, students have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the creative techniques. For secondary school students, we level up the complexity to keep them engaged with more advanced street art styles and historical context of the Waterford street art scene.

How do we book and when do we pay?

Getting a quote is super easy! Since prices (ranging from €30 to €60) depend on your group size and the specific setup you want, we recommend requesting a custom quote. Just fill out our contact form with your expected numbers and preferred dates. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% happy with the experience.

The experience

Why settle for the ordinary when you can give students an experience they'll be talking about for months? Our graffiti workshops aren't just about paint; they're about building skills and community.

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a quick chat about graffiti history and a vital safety briefing on how to use the equipment properly.
Sketching the Vision: Students grab paper and markers to draft their tags or characters, planning out their colour schemes.
Can Control 101: Under the guidance of a pro, everyone learns how to hold the can, swap nozzles, and create different line thicknesses.
Outline & Fill: Time to hit the wall! Students start by outlining their designs and 'filling' them in with vibrant colours.
Shadows & 3D: We teach the tricks of the trade to make the artwork pop off the surface using shading and 3D effects.
Fine Details: Using specialized caps, we add the highlights and 'power lines' that give the piece that professional street art finish.
The Big Reveal: We take a group photo with the finished masterpiece—a perfect moment for the school's social media or newsletter!
Clean Up: Our team handles the pack-down, ensuring the area is left exactly as we found it.

Local culture

Waterford isn't just Ireland's oldest city; it's also a burgeoning hub for contemporary creativity. Thanks to events like the Waterford Walls festival, our streets have been transformed into one of the largest open-air galleries in Europe. Our workshops draw inspiration from this local transformation, encouraging students to see their city through a lens of colour and expression. We love showing young locals how the murals they pass on the way to school were created, bridging the gap between professional street art and their own creative potential. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Waterford is home to over 100 massive murals? It’s often called the street art capital of Ireland, making it the perfect place to learn the craft! 🇮🇪
