What materials are included in the Waterford street art workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for the workshop. All you need to bring is your creativity and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on. We've got the technical side covered!

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners who have never held a spray can to experienced artists looking to refine their skills. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic safety and nozzle control. You'll be amazed at what you can create with just a little bit of expert guidance and some Waterford inspiration.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Rain is just part of the charm in Ireland! If the festival is outdoors, we usually have covered areas or gazebos to keep the artists and participants dry. In some cases, we might move the workshop to a nearby indoor venue. We always have a backup plan (and backup artists) to ensure your street art experience goes off without a hitch, regardless of the Waterford weather.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our professional artists lead a safety briefing before any cans are shaken, explaining how to use the equipment responsibly and how to manage the spray paint safely. We ensure a controlled environment so you can focus entirely on having fun and being creative.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the basics, practice some techniques, and complete a final piece of art. However, for large festivals, we can offer shorter 'drop-in' style sessions or more intensive half-day masterclasses. We are flexible and can tailor the duration to fit the festival's specific schedule.

Do I have to pay upfront for the booking?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require any upfront payment for most bookings. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. This gives you total peace of mind and ensures we are 100% committed to delivering an incredible experience. We want you to be completely satisfied with your street art journey in Waterford before settling up.

Can I book a private session for a group during the festival?

While we can accommodate individual walk-ins at some street art festivals, we highly recommend booking in advance, especially for groups. Our sessions in Waterford tend to fill up fast because of the city's vibrant art scene. If you have a specific time slot in mind for your group, definitely get in touch early so we can reserve your paints and protective gear!

Local culture

We absolutely love the vibe in Waterford! Since the rise of the Waterford Walls project, the city has become a global destination for urban artists. From the narrow streets of the Viking Triangle to the gable ends of Ballybricken, the city is bursting with colour. Our workshops tap into this local energy, using the same spirit of community and creativity that has revitalised the city. We often draw inspiration from the local maritime history or the legendary crystal designs when helping you brainstorm your tags.

Fun Fact: Waterford is Ireland's oldest city, but it's currently home to some of the newest and most modern street art in Europe, with over 100 murals scattered throughout the city centre! 🇮🇪
