Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paint, but we provide every student with protective gloves, masks, and aprons to keep them and their school uniforms safe. Our professional artists are fully trained in managing groups of energetic primary school children, ensuring that everyone follows the safety rules while having a brilliant time being creative. Your pupils are in very safe, experienced hands.

What age groups in primary school is this workshop suitable for?

We generally recommend this workshop for children in 3rd class through to 6th class. At this age, they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the artistic techniques we teach. However, we can adapt the session for younger groups using different tools if needed. It’s a fantastic way to engage older primary students in a project that feels modern, cool, and different from standard art lessons.

Where in Sligo does the workshop take place?

It’s totally up to you! We can come directly to your school in Sligo and set up temporary wooden panels or large canvases in the schoolyard or a well-ventilated hall. Alternatively, if you're looking for a school trip, we can arrange a visit to a local legal street art spot. Most schools prefer us coming to them as it saves on transport costs and fits perfectly into the school day.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists start with the absolute basics, like how to hold the can and create simple lines and dots. We guide the children through every step, from sketching their ideas to adding the final highlights. The goal is to build confidence and show every child that they have the potential to create something impressive, regardless of their prior art experience.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group masterpiece or individual canvases. We are very flexible and can easily adjust the timing to fit around your school’s morning break or lunch schedule so the day runs smoothly.

What materials does the school need to provide?

Everything is included in the price. We provide the spray cans, caps, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring drop cloths to protect the ground or floor. All we need from your side is a bit of space and a group of enthusiastic students ready to learn a new skill! There are no hidden costs or extra supplies for the school to worry about.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

We get it—the Irish weather can be unpredictable! If your workshop is scheduled to be outdoors in Sligo and it starts raining, we have a few options. We can move the session indoors to a large, well-ventilated hall or gym using protective flooring, or we can use our backup artists to reschedule for a drier day. We’ll always work with you to ensure the kids don't miss out on the fun!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your primary school in Sligo? It’s more than just painting; it's an educational adventure! 🔥

Inclusion for all: Graffiti is a great equaliser—even kids who struggle with traditional drawing often excel with a spray can in hand. ✍️
Teamwork in action: Many of our projects involve creating a large mural together, teaching pupils how to collaborate and share a vision. 🤝
Boosted confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they helped create gives students a massive sense of achievement. 🚀
Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great with kids and know how to keep the energy high and the focus sharp. 🎤
Zero stress for teachers: We handle the setup, the teaching, and the cleanup. You can sit back and watch your students shine! ☕

Step by step

The introduction: Our professional artist arrives at your Sligo school and introduces the history of street art and the importance of legal graffiti.
Safety first: Every pupil gets geared up with masks, gloves, and aprons while we explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
Mastering the can: We start with "can control" exercises, teaching the kids how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the vision: Students brainstorm a theme—maybe the school’s motto or a local Sligo landmark—and sketch their design on paper.
First layers: The kids take to the wall or canvas, filling in the large areas of colour and learning how to blend shades together.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! We show them how to use black or dark colours to make their graffiti "pop" with sharp outlines.
Adding details: Pupils add highlights, "shines," and their own unique tags to finish the piece with a professional touch.
The big reveal: We take a group photo with the finished artwork—a proud moment for every student involved!
Clean up: We pack up everything, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them (except for your amazing new art!).

Local culture

Sligo has always been a hub for creativity, from the poetic inspiration of W.B. Yeats to its thriving modern arts scene. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school, you’re connecting students with a contemporary art form that is popping up all over Ireland. We love taking inspiration from the local landscape—think Benbulben outlines or wild Atlantic waves—and turning them into stylized street art. Sligo's vibrant spirit is the perfect backdrop for these young artists to flourish.

Fun Fact: Did you know that graffiti-style murals have been used in Sligo to celebrate everything from local myths to surf culture? It’s a visual language that speaks to everyone! 🌊
