Do I need to be an artist to join the retreat workshop?

Absolutely not! Our creative retreat workshops in Waterford are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned crafters. Our professional street artists guide you through every single step, from holding the can to mastering complex shading. We focus on the joy of creation and the therapeutic nature of the process rather than technical perfection. You will be amazed at what you can achieve in just one session!

What materials are included in the package?

We provide everything you need for a stress-free experience. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. Depending on the retreat package, we also provide canvases or large-scale boards for you to work on. Just wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, and leave the rest to us!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

The safety of our participants is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans and provide professional-grade protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure a controlled environment where you can focus entirely on your artistic expression without any worries.

How long does a typical session last?

The duration depends on your group's needs, but typically our retreat workshops last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a relaxed introduction, a practice session on our training walls, and enough time to complete your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day creative immersion, we can certainly customise the schedule to fit your Waterford retreat itinerary.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

Our Waterford workshops are highly flexible. We can host small, intimate groups for a boutique retreat feel, or we can scale up for large corporate teams of 100+ people. Because we have a large team of professional backup artists, we can ensure that even large groups get plenty of individual attention and guidance. Just let us know your group size and we will handle the logistics!

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

Waterford's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered! We have access to several indoor and sheltered locations throughout the city. If the 'Sunny South East' decides to be a bit damp, we simply move the creative energy indoors. Your retreat will go ahead rain or shine, ensuring your schedule remains uninterrupted and your creative flow stays high.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is simple and risk-free with Graffitifun. You can request a quote via our website or use our Cost Calculator for an instant estimate. We don't require any upfront payment—you can pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations. It's all about a stress-free experience!
