What is the minimum age for the Waterford holiday workshops?

There is no specific minimum age, but we generally recommend our school holiday workshops for children aged 6 and up. For the younger creators, we focus more on simple shapes and safety, while teenagers can dive into more complex shading and lettering techniques. We ensure every child feels successful regardless of their age or artistic background!

Do the kids need prior drawing or art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists will guide the kids through every step, from holding the can to creating their final masterpiece. It’s all about having fun, being creative, and learning something new during the school break in a relaxed, supportive environment.

How do you handle safety and protective gear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are highly experienced in managing groups of children and ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely.

What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, graffiti can be a bit messy. Since we often work in outdoor or covered spaces to ensure ventilation, checking the Waterford weather forecast and dressing in layers is always a smart move.

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

The Great Irish Weather doesn't stop the fun! We have access to various covered and indoor-ventilated locations across Waterford. If the weather looks particularly nasty, we move the session to one of our backup spots where the kids can stay dry while they spray. The creativity keeps flowing, rain or shine!

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard school holiday session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their tags, and complete a full-scale graffiti piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired.

Can the kids take their artwork home with them?

Absolutely! One of the best parts of our Waterford workshops is that every participant gets to take home their own creation. Whether we are spraying on individual canvases or boards, your child will have a custom piece of street art to hang on their bedroom wall as a souvenir of their holiday adventure.

Step by step

Warm welcome and safety briefing: We kick things off by meeting the group and getting everyone geared up with masks, gloves, and overalls. Safety first, style second!
The history of street art: Our artists give a quick, high-energy intro to the world of graffiti, from New York subways to the vibrant walls of Waterford's city centre.
Mastering the can: Kids learn the basics of "can control"—how to draw thin lines, thick fills, and smooth fades using different pressure and nozzles.
Sketching the vision: Every participant gets time to brainstorm their own "tag" or design on paper before moving to the big wall or canvas.
First strokes: Under the guidance of our pros, the students start outlining their designs, learning how to scale their art from a small sketch to a large-scale piece.
Adding the "pop": This is where the magic happens! We teach the kids how to add 3D effects, highlights, and outlines to make their graffiti jump off the surface.
The final reveal: We wrap up the session with a group gallery walk, where everyone gets to show off their masterpiece and take photos with their crew.

Our workshops tap into this local energy, showing the next generation that art isn't just found in museums—it's alive on the walls of our community. 🇮🇪
