Will the students get paint on their clothes?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality coveralls, gloves, and masks to keep everyone’s school uniforms or clothes safe from paint. Our water-based spray paint is also much easier to handle than traditional aerosols. We recommend students wear comfortable shoes they don't mind getting a little dusty, but we take every precaution to ensure the only thing getting painted is the wall or canvas!

Is the spray paint safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced graffiti artists who provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area or outdoors to keep the environment safe for everyone.

Do we need to travel to a specific location in Cork?

We can come to your school premises in Cork if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor hall. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local spot or use mobile wooden panels that we bring with us. We are flexible and will work with your school's facilities to make sure the workshop runs smoothly without any permanent mess left behind.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching and design phase, and the actual spray painting. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can definitely adjust the duration to fit into a double period or a half-day transition year block.

Do the students need to have prior art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional artists guide the students through every step, from basic 'tagging' to advanced 'pieces'. Even students who don't think they are 'artistic' usually find they have a natural talent for graffiti. It’s all about expressing personality and having a bit of craic while learning a new skill.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Our workshops are perfect for Transition Year (TY) modules, Wellbeing weeks, or as a reward for Junior Cert/Leaving Cert groups. They promote teamwork, boost self-esteem, and provide a practical outlet for creativity that differs from the standard art curriculum. It’s also a fantastic way to brighten up school spirits and create a lasting mural for the school grounds.

How do we book and what is the payment process?

Booking is simple and stress-free. You don’t need to pay anything upfront; you only pay after the workshop is completed. Simply request a quote through our website, and we’ll check our availability for your preferred date in Cork. We even have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation.

Local culture

Cork has a long-standing love affair with street art, from the iconic murals of the 'People's Republic' to the hidden gems along the banks of the Lee. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the city's rich cultural heritage. We often discuss local legends like the Ardú Street Art Project to show students how graffiti has transformed Cork's urban landscape into an open-air gallery. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of Cork's most famous murals are used as navigation landmarks? Street art is so ingrained in the city that locals often use it to give directions!
