Do I need to have prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely! Our Kilkenny sessions are specifically designed for beginners and intermediate artists alike. We provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can learn the basics from scratch. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through every spray, ensuring you gain the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions later. It’s all about learning by doing and having a bit of craic along the way!

What about safety gear and health precautions?

Health and safety are our top priorities. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable coveralls for all participants. Our trainers are experts in outdoor and well-ventilated indoor setups. We also choose premium, low-odour paints wherever possible. We’ll teach you how to maintain a safe 'spray zone' in your own school environment, ensuring a safe and fun experience for your students.

How long does the training session usually last?

Most of our teacher training sessions in Kilkenny last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, master basic techniques, and complete a collaborative mural or individual pieces. If you're looking for a more intensive deep-dive, we can certainly arrange extended full-day workshops tailored to your specific curriculum goals or professional development requirements.

Can you host the training at our school in Kilkenny?

We are 100% mobile! While we have preferred locations around Kilkenny, we can also come directly to your school or community centre if you have a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space. Having the training on-site can be great because it allows us to assess your specific facilities and give bespoke advice on where your students could safely practice их art in the future.

What can I expect from a typical training day?

Expect a high-energy, hands-on day! We start with a brief intro to the culture, followed by 'cap technology' and spray control exercises. You’ll spend the bulk of the time actually painting. By the end, you’ll have the technical skills to teach lines, fills, and shadows, plus the logistical knowledge of how to manage a classroom full of students with spray cans without it turning into chaos!

How do I book and what are the payment terms?

We’ve made the booking process in Kilkenny as stress-free as possible. You don't need to pay anything upfront; we operate on a 'pay after the workshop' basis to ensure you're completely happy with the service. Simply reach out via our contact form for a custom quote, and we’ll match you with one of our expert artists to get the ball rolling. Plus, we always have backup artists ready!

Local culture

Kilkenny might be famous for its medieval 'Black Abbey' and the majestic Kilkenny Castle, but the 'Marble City' is also a thriving hub for contemporary creativity. From the galleries of the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland to the hidden gems in the lanes off High Street, art is in the city's DNA. We love bringing our art teacher training to Kilkenny because the local educators here have such a deep appreciation for heritage and innovation. It’s the perfect place to blend old-world inspiration with new-age street art techniques.

Fun fact: Did you know Kilkenny is often called the 'Marble City' because of the unique black limestone found nearby? It turns into a stunning 'marble' when polished—the perfect inspiration for some high-contrast graffiti textures! 🏛️

While you're here, we recommend checking out the local street scenes in nearby Dublin or Waterford for more mural inspiration, but Kilkenny’s own creative spirit is truly second to none.
