Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Not at all! Our Cork street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners who have never touched a spray can to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will walk you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving up to complex fills and 3D effects. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and learning something new!

What should I wear to a graffiti workshop in Cork?

We’ve got you covered! We provide premium protective overalls, gloves, and shoe covers to keep your outfit looking fresh. However, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn’t mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case. Once you're suited up, you can focus entirely on your creativity without worrying about your gear.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality, professional-grade masks and respirators for all participants to ensure you aren't inhaling any fumes. Our workshops are typically held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces during festivals. Our instructors are also trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard festival workshop session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different spray techniques, and complete a full-scale piece. If you’re looking for something more intensive or a quick 'drop-in' style session for a large public event, we can certainly adjust the timing to fit the flow of your Cork festival perfectly.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

While we usually work on large professional-grade plastic "walls" or cellophane wraps during festivals to create high-impact murals, we can definitely arrange for participants to paint on individual canvases or boards. This way, you can take your very own piece of Cork street art home with you! Just let us know your preference when booking, and we’ll make sure the setup is exactly what you need.

What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?

The more the merrier! We are specialists in handling large groups, especially in a festival environment. Whether it's a small group of 10 or a rotating crowd of hundreds throughout the day, we have the staff and equipment to scale up. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure that no matter the size of the crowd in Cork, the workshop runs smoothly and stays exciting.

Do I need to pay upfront for the workshop?

One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is our flexible payment policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods and will provide a clear invoice once the festival fun is wrapped up. It’s completely stress-free booking!
