Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are low-odour and professional-grade. Each session is led by an experienced artist who specialises in working with primary school children, ensuring that the environment is controlled, educational, and completely safe while still being incredibly fun for the students.

Where in the school does the workshop take place?

We bring the street art experience right to your school in Drogheda! Most workshops take place outdoors against a wall or on mobile boards we provide. We can also set up in large, well-ventilated indoor spaces like school halls or gyms if the weather isn't playing ball. We take care of all the floor and wall protection to ensure your school grounds remain spotless.

How long does a typical session last?

Usually, our primary school workshops last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introduction to street art history, sketching time, and the actual spray painting. We can adapt the schedule to fit your school’s timetable or split larger groups into multiple back-to-back sessions to ensure everyone gets a fair go.

Do we need a dedicated wall at the school?

Absolutely not! While we love creating large-scale murals, our workshops are designed so that every child gets to participate individually. We often use large canvases or individual boards so each student has their own piece of art to work on. For group projects, we ensure that every student contributes to the final masterpiece through a collaborative design process.

What materials do we need to provide?

We've got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything: professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces. We also bring sketching materials for the design phase. Basically, your students just need to bring their enthusiasm and a creative mindset—we handle all the logistics and cleanup!

What is the recommended age for these workshops?

Our primary school workshops are most successful with children aged 7 and up (around 2nd class to 6th class). At this age, they have the physical dexterity to handle the spray cans and the concentration needed to follow the creative instructions. We tailor our teaching style to be age-appropriate, focusing on simple shapes and bold colours for younger groups.

What happens if the artist can't make it or the weather is bad?

We pride ourselves on being reliable. We have a backup team of artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will still go ahead as planned. Additionally, you don't need to pay anything upfront; you only pay after the workshop is completed to your satisfaction. This makes the booking process completely stress-free for busy teachers and school administrators.

The experience

Bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school isn't just a "fun day out"—it’s a powerful educational tool that reaches kids who might feel disconnected from traditional art lessons. Here’s why Drogheda schools love working with us:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come together gives students a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Promotes teamwork: Many of our projects involve collaborative murals where every child's contribution is vital.
Engages every learner: Street art is tactile and energetic, making it perfect for kids who love to learn by doing.
100% Professional: We bring years of experience and a backup artist guarantee, so you’re never left in the lurch.
No mess, no stress: We handle the setup and the cleanup—your school stays tidy, and the kids stay happy. 🔥
Perfect for all: We also offer these experiences in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick!

Step by step

Introduction to street art: We kick things off with a lively chat about the history of graffiti, from ancient markings to modern murals, and discuss the difference between art and vandalism.
The design phase: Students start by sketching their ideas on paper. Our artists help them refine their concepts, focusing on "tags" and "pieces" with a personal touch.
Safety briefing: We suit everyone up in protective gear and demonstrate the correct, safe way to hold and use a spray can.
Can control basics: Before hitting the main board, kids practice basic techniques like making dots, thin lines, and thick fills to get a feel for the pressure.
Filling the shapes: The fun really begins as students start applying vibrant colours to their designs, learning how to blend and layer shades.
Adding the outlines: This step brings the artwork to life! We teach the kids how to add sharp outlines to make their graffiti "pop" off the surface.
Highlights and details: For the final touch, we add white highlights and secondary outlines to create a 3D effect that looks totally professional.
The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished project—a moment of huge pride for the students!
Careful cleanup: Our team ensures all materials are packed away and the site is left exactly as we found it.

Good to know

Local culture

Drogheda is a town steeped in history, but it’s also a place that embraces the new. With its incredible Drawda street art trail featuring murals inspired by local mythology, there’s no better place in Ireland to introduce primary students to the power of public art. We love bringing our workshops to this vibrant community, connecting the town's legendary past with the contemporary art skills of the future.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the murals in Drogheda represent figures like the poet Amergin and the goddess Étaín? Our workshops can even be tailored to help students create art based on these legendary local stories! 🇮🇪
