  • Completely safe: We use professional-grade safety gear and low-odour paints, ensuring a professional environment. 🛡️
  • Local expertise: Our artists are part of the Irish street art scene, bringing real-world credibility to the classroom. 🎤
  • Zero stress for teachers: We handle everything from the planning and materials to the final cleanup. 🎉
  • No deposit needed: Book with peace of mind—you only pay once the workshop is finished and everyone is happy! 🏆

Step by step

  1. Intro and demo: We start with a high-energy intro, showing off some pro techniques and explaining the history of Dublin street art.
  2. Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear, and we go over the 'golden rules' of using spray cans responsibly.
  3. The tag creator: Students spend time sketching their ideas and learning how to build their own unique graffiti name or 'tag' on paper.
  4. Can control 101: We move to the boards! Students learn how to hold the can, control pressure, and make basic lines and dots.
  5. Colour blending: Our artists demonstrate how to fade and mix colours directly on the surface for that professional 'pop'.
  6. Filling and outlining: The main event—students start filling in their designs and adding those crucial sharp outlines.
  7. Highlights and 3D: We teach the tricks of the trade, like adding highlights and drop shadows to make the art jump off the wall.
  8. The final reveal: A group photo session with the finished masterpieces to celebrate the creative wins of the day.
  9. Tidy up: We handle all the cleanup, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them!

Local culture

Street art in Dublin

Dublin is a city that breathes creativity, from the iconic murals in Smithfield to the ever-evolving walls of the Bernard Shaw. Street art is a massive part of the Irish capital’s modern identity, and our workshops aim to connect students with that local culture. We don't just teach art; we talk about the legendary Dublin spots like the Tivoli (RIP) and how local artists have transformed the grey corners of the city into vibrant landmarks.

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of Dublin's most famous street art pieces were created during the 'Love the Lanes' project, aimed at making the city's alleyways safer and more beautiful through public art? It’s modern-day history in the making!

Pricing

We believe in transparent pricing that fits school budgets. Our secondary school workshops in Dublin generally range from €30 to €60 per student, depending on the number of participants and the specific project (e.g., individual canvases vs. a large school mural).

The best part? No upfront payment is required—you can pay after the workshop is complete. We also offer interactive tools like our Cost Calculator to help you get a quick estimate for your school board.
