I’ve never used a spray can before, is that okay?

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the basics, like how to hold a spray can and control the pressure. Our professional artists are there every step of the way to guide you. You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to create something amazing at a Sligo festival—it's all about the energy and having a go!

Do I need to bring my own supplies?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. If the workshop is part of a festival setup, we also provide the boards or canvases. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the fresh Sligo air! Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely, making it a worry-free experience for parents and festival organisers alike.

How long does a typical session last?

Most festival workshop sessions last between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the specific event schedule. This gives you enough time to learn the techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a finished piece of street art. We keep the pace energetic and fun so you’re never bored, but we also ensure you don't feel rushed while finding your creative flow.

Can we work together on a large mural?

Graffiti is actually a fantastic team activity! While everyone gets their own space to create, we often work on large-scale collaborative pieces where groups have to coordinate their designs and colours. It’s a brilliant way to break the ice, encourage communication, and build something impressive together. It’s always a highlight for corporate groups and festival crowds in Ireland.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

We’re experts at 'pivoting'! If the Sligo weather decides to be typically Irish, we usually have gazebos or marquee cover prepared. If it’s a total washout, we can often move the workshop to a well-ventilated indoor space or reschedule. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible and will do everything possible to make sure the fun goes ahead.

How much does a graffiti workshop cost?

Our pricing is flexible to suit different needs, typically ranging from €30 to €60 per person. The final cost depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials required for your festival setup. We don't require any payment upfront—you only pay after the workshop is complete. For an accurate price, just request a custom quote!

Filling in the colour: The fun part! Choose your palette and start filling in your shapes with bold, vibrant Irish street art colours.

Local culture

Sligo has always been a hub for creativity—after all, it inspired Yeats! While the town is famous for its literary history and traditional tunes, there’s a growing appetite for modern, urban expression. Our workshops blend that classic Sligo soul with contemporary street art culture. We love setting up near the Garavogue River or within sight of Benbulben, bringing a splash of neon to the stunning natural landscapes of the West.

Fun Fact: Did you know Sligo is home to some incredible hidden murals celebrating local legends and maritime history? Our workshops help continue this tradition of storytelling through visual art! 🌊

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as vibrant as our paint! Generally, you can expect a range of €30 to €60 per person. We believe in transparency and fairness, so we tailor every price to your specific festival needs, group size, and location.

Best of all? No upfront payment is required—you pay once the creative magic has happened! ✨
