How long does a typical Waterford school workshop last?

A typical primary school workshop in Waterford lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping younger students engaged and excited without them getting overtired. We can adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or break schedule, ensuring a seamless integration into the school day.

Is it safe for primary school children to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective ponchos for every student. Our professional artists are highly experienced in working with primary-aged children and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly and safely throughout the entire creative process.

Do we need to pay for the workshop upfront?

No way! We are one of the few providers that doesn't require upfront payment. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the event is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the results. This makes the booking process much easier for school administration and finance departments.

What happens if our school doesn't have a suitable wall?

We are very flexible! While an outdoor space with a wall or fence is ideal, we can also set up mobile wooden partitions or even work on large canvases. If the Waterford weather isn't playing ball, we can often move the session to a well-ventilated indoor hall using low-odour, water-based paints specifically designed for indoor use.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors guide the students through every single step, from holding the can correctly to mastering basic shapes. By the end of the day, every student—regardless of their initial artistic talent—will have contributed to a piece of art they can be proud of.

What materials does the school need to provide?

We come fully prepared! Graffitifun provides everything: professional-grade spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and all the necessary templates and sketching materials. The only thing we need from the school is a group of eager students and a space to get creative!

How does this benefit the students' learning?

A graffiti workshop is a fantastic way to hit several curriculum targets! It covers visual arts (colour mixing, composition, technique), promotes teamwork and communication, boosts confidence, and can even link into history or social studies by discussing the evolution of street art as a form of modern cultural expression. It's education disguised as pure fun!
