How long does a typical street art workshop last?

Most of our festival workshops in Galway last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you plenty of time to learn the basic strokes, practice your technique on our practice walls, and then complete a final masterpiece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' for keeping energy high and creativity flowing without feeling rushed. If you're looking for something longer, just let us know!

Do I need to have any artistic experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned artists. Our professional graffiti mentors guide you through every step, starting with how to hold the spray can correctly. You'll be amazed at what you can create with a few simple techniques and a bit of 'Galway spirit' behind you.

Is it safe and what kind of gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use specialized, low-pressure spray paint that is easier to control, and our artists are always on hand to ensure everyone is using the equipment safely and correctly. It’s all about having fun in a secure environment.

What is the minimum age for the festival workshop?

For street art festivals in Galway, we generally recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This is mainly because the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination to operate effectively. However, we have plenty of experience working with younger kids in different formats, so feel free to talk to us about family-friendly setups.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

We know the weather in the West of Ireland can be a bit 'changeable,' to say the least! We always have a backup plan. If the festival is outdoors, we can often set up under sturdy gazebos or move to a nearby sheltered area. Plus, with our backup artist policy, we ensure your event goes ahead even if the primary artist is unavailable.

Do I have to pay for the workshop upfront?

No way! At Graffitifun, we believe in the quality of our service. You can book your festival workshop today to secure your date, and you only pay after the workshop is completed. This gives you total peace of mind and ensures we are 100% committed to delivering an incredible, high-energy experience for your group.

What group sizes can you accommodate at a festival?

We are incredibly flexible. Whether you have an intimate group of 10 people or a massive festival crowd of hundreds, we can scale our team and materials to suit. For larger festivals in Galway, we often set up multiple 'stations' or large-scale mural walls where people can rotate in and out throughout the day.

The experience

Authentic Artist Mentors: Learn from real-deal graffiti artists who are passionate about sharing their craft. 🎤
Zero Stress Booking: We have backup artists ready to go, so your festival entertainment is never at risk of cancellation.
All-In Kits: We provide everything, from the "fat caps" to the "overalls"—you just bring the energy! 🎒

Community Vibe: There’s nothing like the buzz of a crowd watching a mural come to life in real-time. ✨
Pay Later: Our 100% satisfaction focus means you only pay once the fun is done.

Step by step

Grab your gear: We start by getting everyone suited up in protective overalls, gloves, and professional masks. Safety first, style second!
Master the can: Your artist mentor shows you the secrets of 'can control'—how to hold it, move your arm, and manage the pressure.
Lines and dots: We practice the basics. You'll learn how to make thin lines, fat caps, and those crispy clean dots that make graffiti pop.
Sketch your soul: Use chalk or light paint to map out your design on the board or canvas. No pressure, just flow.
Fill it in: Time to add the color! We’ll show you how to blend shades and create smooth gradients that look professional.
The power of the outline: This is where the magic happens. A sharp outline brings your work to life and makes the colors stand out.
Details and 'flare': Add highlights, 3D effects, or those classic street art 'drips' to give your piece that authentic Galway street vibe.
The big reveal: Step back, take a photo with your masterpiece, and share your creation with the rest of the festival crowd!

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can adapt for full-day festival rotations.
