Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our top priority! We use water-based, low-odour spray paint that is much gentler than standard industrial cans. Every student is provided with high-quality protective gloves, masks, and aprons to keep them clean and safe. Our professional artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a controlled and secure environment for all primary school ages.

What age group is this workshop suitable for?

Absolutely! Our workshops are highly popular for 5th and 6th-class graduations, but we can tailor the complexity for younger groups too. While we generally recommend the full spray experience for ages 8 and up, we have creative methods to involve younger children in mural design and stencil work. It's all about making sure every child feels like a successful artist by the end of the session.

Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to us?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Kilkenny. We usually set up our professional plastic "graffiti walls" outdoors on the yard or under a covered area. If the Irish weather isn't playing ball, we can discuss indoor options using specific low-VOC materials or canvas-based projects. We handle the entire setup and cleanup, leaving no mess behind.

Do the students need prior artistic skills?

Not a bit! The beauty of graffiti is that it's an "equaliser." Often, students who struggle with traditional fine arts find a new sense of confidence in the bold, free-flowing nature of street art. Our instructors guide them through simple techniques that yield impressive results quickly. We focus on "can control" and basic shapes so that everyone walks away with something they are proud of.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety demo, a history of the art form, practicing basic tags, and completing a final collaborative masterpiece or individual canvases. We can adjust the timing to fit within your specific school timetable or double-up sessions for larger year groups.

What should the students wear on the day?

Wear "messy clothes"! While we provide aprons, graffiti is a physical and sometimes splashy art form. We recommend students wear old tracksuits or clothes that won't cause tears if a small stray drop of paint lands on them. Beyond that, just bring loads of energy and an open mind. We provide all the professional cans, caps, masks, and boards needed for the day.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Kilkenny school? It’s more than just painting; it’s about expression, teamwork, and trying something totally new! 🚀

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant mural come together gives kids a massive sense of achievement.
Inclusive art: Graffiti doesn't require "perfect" drawing skills, making it accessible for every child.
Professional mentors: Learn from real-world street artists who live and breathe this culture.
Zero stress for teachers: We handle all the prep, the gear, and the cleanup!
Memorable milestones: Perfect for school tours or marking the end of the primary school journey.
Hands-on STEM/STEAM: We touch on the chemistry of paint and the geometry of letter structure. 📐

Step by step

Intro and history: We kick things off with a high-energy chat about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved from street tags to world-class gallery art.
Safety first: Our artists demonstrate how to use the gear correctly, ensuring every student knows how to wear their mask and handle the cans safely.
First lines: Students get their first taste of "can control," learning how to spray dots, thin lines, and thick flares on our practice walls.
Sketching the vision: We brainstorm a theme—perhaps the school motto or a local Kilkenny landmark—and sketch out the blueprint for our mural.
Filling and fading: Children learn the secrets of "fill-ins" and "fades," discovering how to blend colours together for that iconic street art look.
The outline: This is the magic moment where the messy shapes become sharp letters. Our pros help the kids apply the final "power-line" outlines.
Adding highlights: We teach the students how to add "shines" and 3D effects to make their letters pop off the wall!
The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished masterpiece—a proud moment for every young artist involved.

Kilkenny might be famous for its medieval "Blackbird" history and the stunning Kilkenny Castle, but the city has a thriving contemporary soul too! From the creative energy of the Kilkenny Arts Festival to the hidden murals tucked away in the city's winding "slips," there is inspiration around every corner. We love bringing our workshops to "The Marble City," where the students' creativity is as sharp as a hurley on a match day. 🏰

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kilkenny is often called the "Creative Heart of Ireland"? By introducing graffiti workshops, your school is helping keep that creative pulse beating for the next generation of Irish artists! 🖌️
