What should my child wear to the workshop?

While we provide professional-grade aprons and gloves, graffiti is a messy business! We highly recommend that participants wear old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a few paint splatters on. Dublin weather can be unpredictable, so if we are working outdoors, please bring a jacket. It’s all part of the authentic street art experience!

Is the spray paint safe for children?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality spray paint and provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks if requested. Our professional artists supervise every step of the process, ensuring that the cans are handled correctly and that everyone stays in a safe, well-ventilated environment throughout the creative session.

Do they need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! Our school holiday workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to mastering simple lines. Our artists are there to guide every student personally, so no prior drawing or painting experience is needed to create something truly impressive by the end of the day.

What is the minimum age for participation?

The minimum age for our public school holiday workshops in Dublin is typically 8 years old. This ensures that the participants have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow the safety instructions. We find this age group gets the absolute most out of the creative freedom that graffiti offers!

What happens if we need to cancel our booking?

We understand that plans can change. That’s why we offer a flexible booking policy with no upfront payment required. You can book your spot now and pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to cancel, just let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the spot to someone else on our waiting list.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Typically, our workshops last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of learning time and hands-on painting without the younger creators getting tired. For longer school holiday programmes, we occasionally offer extended sessions that dive deeper into complex mural techniques and advanced lettering styles.

Will my child have something to take home?

Yes! While we often work on large collective murals to teach teamwork, every participant will also have the opportunity to create their own individual piece of art. Depending on the specific workshop package, they can often take home their own canvas or customized item to show off their new skills to friends and family.
