Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every Kilkenny secondary school workshop. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our expert instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a controlled, professional, and secure environment for everyone to explore their creativity without any risks.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

We usually recommend 2 to 3 hours for a secondary school session in Kilkenny. This gives students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tagging' and 'throwing', and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or transition year schedule.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to those who are handy with a sketchbook. Our artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. You'll be amazed at how quickly Kilkenny students can go from never holding a can to creating a vibrant, professional-looking piece of street art.

Where in Kilkenny do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Kilkenny, using mobile boards or cellophane walls (cling film) stretched between pillars. This way, there is no permanent mess on school property. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local outdoor space if you prefer an excursion-style experience for your group.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! The price includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the painting surfaces. We also bring our professional expertise and high-energy music to keep the vibes right. Your school just needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic students!

What are the educational benefits of street art?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional academic subjects. It promotes teamwork, boosts self-esteem, and teaches spatial awareness and colour theory in a high-interest format. It’s particularly popular for Transition Year (TY) groups in Ireland looking for unique personal development opportunities and creative outlets outside the standard curriculum.

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

We understand the Irish weather! If we are planning an outdoor session in Kilkenny and the rain won't let up, we have several backup plans. We can move the session indoors to a well-ventilated hall or gym using water-based, low-odour paints, or we can reschedule to a better date. We always ensure the workshop goes ahead safely.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students in the Marble City? It’s more than just painting walls; it’s about confidence, teamwork, and breaking the mould of traditional art education. 🌟

Zero risk, high reward: We handle all the cleanup and safety, leaving you with nothing but happy students and amazing photos.
Perfect for TY: Meets all the criteria for creative development and team-building in the Transition Year curriculum. 🏆
Professional vibes: Our artists aren't just creators; they are mentors who share the history and "unwritten rules" of street art culture.
Total flexibility: We come to you anywhere in Kilkenny, rain or shine! 🎤

Step by step

Initial consultation: Reach out to us to discuss your Kilkenny school's goals, group size, and preferred dates.
Design planning: We help students brainstorm a theme, perhaps focusing on Kilkenny's history, school values, or a social justice topic.
Safety first: On the day, we start with a safety induction and gear up in protective suits and masks.
Can control basics: Our artists teach students how to hold the can, control pressure, and swap nozzles for different effects.
Sketching the wall: We guide the students through "blocking out" the large-scale design on our mobile art walls.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens—learning how to blend colours and create vibrant gradients.
The outline (the 'powerline'): Students add the crucial finishing touches and sharp outlines to make their art "pop."
Final reveal & photos: We celebrate the finished mural, take group photos, and discuss the creative journey.

Local culture

Kilkenny might be famous for its medieval "Black Abbey" and the stunning Kilkenny Castle, but there is a growing, edgy street art scene bubbling under the surface of the Marble City. From the colourful murals tucked away in small alleys to the world-class talent showcased during the Kilkenny Arts Festival, the city loves a bit of visual flair. Our workshops tap into this local creative energy, connecting students with the modern artistic pulse of Ireland. 🏰🇮🇪

Fun Fact: Did you know Kilkenny is often called the "Creative Heart of Ireland"? While traditionally known for crafts and design, the city’s youth culture is increasingly embracing street art as a way to blend traditional heritage with modern Irish identity!

Pricing

Our Kilkenny school workshops are competitively priced to ensure as many students as possible can get involved. Pricing typically ranges from €30 to €60 per student, depending on the total number of participants and the length of the session. We don't believe in hidden fees, and the best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed!
