Do I need any previous graffiti experience to take part?

Absolutely! No prior experience with a spray can is necessary. Our Sligo workshops are designed to take you from 'stick figures' to 'street art' in a matter of hours. Our professional artists break down the technical aspects of pressure control, nozzle types, and layering into easy-to-follow steps. By the end of the session, you'll have the confidence to demonstrate these techniques to your own students back in the classroom.

Is it safe to bring these techniques into a school environment?

Safety is our top priority, especially in a school setting. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including FFP3 masks and gloves. Part of the training includes a dedicated module on setting up a safe workspace for students, managing ventilation, and proper disposal of materials. You'll leave the session knowing exactly how to run a workshop that is both fun and fully compliant with health and safety standards.

Will I receive any materials or resources to take home?

Yes, everyone takes home their own individual canvas! In addition to the large-scale collaborative mural work we do during the training, you will create a personal piece. This serves as a fantastic visual aid to show your students what is possible. We also provide digital resources and a certificate of completion to help you integrate these new skills into your official art curriculum or lesson plans.

Where in Sligo do the teacher training sessions take place?

We are local and flexible! We can host the training at one of our dedicated creative spaces in Sligo, or our team of artists can travel directly to your school or community centre. If we come to you, we just need a well-ventilated area or an outdoor space. We bring all the drop cloths and protective gear to ensure the site stays clean while the creativity flows.

How long does the training session last?

The training usually lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. We’ve found this is the 'sweet spot' for teachers to learn the history, master the can control, and complete a full project without feeling rushed. We can also adapt the timing to fit into a standard CPD (Continuing Professional Development) day or a mid-term break schedule. Just let us know what works best for your team's calendar.

What is the cost for a professional development session?

Our pricing is flexible and based on your group size, typically ranging from €30 to €60 per teacher. This includes all premium spray cans, safety gear, canvases, and the expert tuition of our pro artists. There are no hidden fees or upfront payments required – you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience.

Local culture

Sligo has always been a hub of creative energy, from the poetic landscapes of Yeats to the modern murals popping up around the city centre. There’s a unique "West of Ireland" grit and beauty here that translates perfectly into street art. We love tapping into Sligo's local culture—whether it’s drawing inspiration from the rugged edges of Benbulben or the surf culture of Strandhill—to help teachers create art that resonates with their local students. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Sligo is becoming a key stop on the Irish street art map? Local initiatives are increasingly using murals to celebrate Sligo's rich heritage, making it the perfect backdrop for your own artistic evolution. ✨
