Do the students need to be good at drawing?

No artistic talent is required! Our professional artists guide students through every step, from basic spray can control to complex layering. We focus on the process and the fun of creation. Most students are amazed at what they can produce in just a couple of hours. It’s a great confidence builder for those who don't usually consider themselves 'artistic'.

Is the spray paint safe for school use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. Our paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially set-up indoor spaces. Our instructors are fully trained in health and safety protocols to ensure a worry-free experience for staff and students alike.

Where does the workshop take place?

We are totally flexible! We can bring our mobile setup to your school grounds in Dundalk, using portable boards or temporary walls. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local spot if school grounds aren't an option. We provide all the 'walls', drop cloths, and cleanup materials, leaving your school just as tidy as we found it.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually runs between 1.5 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for an intro to street art history, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into double periods or full-day transition year schedules depending on your school's specific needs.

What is the ideal group size for a workshop?

Usually, we work with groups of 15 to 30 students per artist to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and spray time. However, for larger year groups in Dundalk schools, we can bring multiple artists and run parallel sessions. Whether it's a small JCSP group or a full TY cohort, we can scale to fit.

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Absolutely! Graffiti is a brilliant way to explore themes like identity, community, or local history. Many Dundalk schools ask us to incorporate specific curriculum topics or school values into the mural design. It’s a fantastic way to make learning visual and collaborative, and the final piece serves as a lasting reminder of their hard work.

What age range is this suitable for?

We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 10 and up, making them perfect for all secondary school year groups. From 1st years building new friendships to 6th years blowing off steam after mocks, the activity is physically engaging and mentally rewarding for all teenagers. We adjust our teaching style and technical depth based on the age group.
