Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Kilkenny street art festival workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through everything from basic nozzle control to layering colours. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself, regardless of your previous artistic experience. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just one session!

What materials are included in the festival workshop?

Graffitifun provides everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray paint in a massive range of vibrant colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or boards you'll be painting on. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We've got the technical side completely covered for you.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for all ages?

Safety is our top priority at every festival. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially set-up festival zones. Our professional artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring everyone knows how to use the equipment responsibly while having the best time possible in Kilkenny.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our standard festival sessions usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a full piece of art. If you're attending as part of a larger event or a brand activation, we can adjust the timing to fit the festival schedule. It’s the perfect amount of time to get 'in the zone' without feeling rushed.

What happens if the weather is bad or an artist is sick?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We don't require upfront payments to secure your booking; you pay after the workshop is complete. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation. We are committed to making sure your Kilkenny festival experience goes off without a hitch!

Can we book a private workshop for our own group during a festival?

We love bringing the festival vibe to all sorts of groups! While we thrive in the public festival scene in Kilkenny, we also host private workshops for bachelor parties, corporate team-building, and school groups. Whether you're a group of ten friends or a massive festival crowd, we can scale our setup to match your needs and ensure every single person gets to spray.

The experience

Why choose a street art experience for your next Kilkenny outing? It’s more than just painting; it’s about breaking boundaries and trying something completely out of the ordinary. Here’s why we’re a hit at every festival: 🎉

Expert guidance: Work alongside real graffiti artists with years of professional experience.
Zero stress: No upfront payments and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Fully mobile: We bring the festival to you, anywhere in Kilkenny or surrounding areas.

Total expression: Forget the rules of traditional art; this is about your style and your tag!

Step by step

Intro and safety: Meet your pro artist and get fitted with your protective gear and mask.
Spray can basics: Learn how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and control the pressure.
Line work practice: Head to the practice wall to master thin lines, fat drips, and dots.
Concept sketching: Grab a marker and roughly sketch your design onto your canvas or board.
Filling in: Choose your palette and start filling in your piece with vibrant festival colours.
Fading and blending: Learn the 'fade' technique to mix colours smoothly like a professional gallerist.
Outlining: Bring your piece to life by adding sharp outlines and 'cut-ins' to clean up the edges.
Details and highlights: Add those final 'pops' like shines and bubbles to make your art stand out.
The big reveal: Step back, admire your masterpiece, and take a group photo with the Kilkenny skyline!

Local culture

Kilkenny is world-renowned for its heritage, but it’s the city’s thriving contemporary arts scene that makes it the perfect backdrop for a street art festival. Walking through the 'Medieval Mile', you can feel the creative pulse that has existed here for centuries. Our workshops bridge the gap between Kilkenny's historic stonework and the modern, technicolour world of graffiti. We love the contrast of vibrant neon paint against the classic Irish backdrop—it’s a visual feast that perfectly captures the city's artistic evolution. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Kilkenny is often called the 'Creative Heart of Ireland'? It’s been a hub for design and craft since the 1960s, making it the most welcoming place in the country for new forms of expression like street art! 🏆
