Do I need any previous art experience to join?

You don't need a single ounce of artistic talent to have a blast! Our Kilkenny street art workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists lead you through the process, from basic spray can control to shading techniques. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session. It’s all about having a laugh and trying something new while you're visiting the Marble City.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We only use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our artists provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a worry-free environment for families, solo travellers, and groups alike.

How long does the workshop session last?

The standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, practicing your 'tag' on a practice wall, and then completing your final piece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing between visiting Kilkenny Castle and catching some live music in a local pub.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls, spray paint can be unpredictable! Flat shoes or trainers are best for standing and moving around the boards. If it’s a bit chilly out, bring an extra layer, as we typically work in spots with plenty of fresh air to keep things ventilated.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Absolutely! Most of our tourist workshops allow you to create your work on a high-quality canvas or a portable board that you can take home with you. It makes for the most unique souvenir of your trip to Ireland—much cooler than a standard fridge magnet! If you're travelling light, we can also discuss digital photos of your large-scale wall work so you can treasure the memory.

Is the workshop accessible for people with disabilities?

We strive to make our workshops accessible to everyone. Many of our Kilkenny locations are wheelchair friendly and suitable for various fitness levels. If you have specific accessibility requirements or concerns, just let us know when booking. We will do our absolute best to tailor the setup so that everyone in your group can fully participate in the creative process without any hurdles.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Kilkenny weather can be a bit 'soft' (rainy) sometimes! We have several covered outdoor locations and indoor backup spots available to ensure the fun doesn't stop just because of a drizzle. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule or move to a fully indoor ventilated facility. We always aim to keep the creative energy flowing, no matter what the Irish sky is doing.

Local culture

Kilkenny might be famous for its medieval "Black Abbey" and the stunning Kilkenny Castle, but there is a thriving contemporary art scene bubbling under the surface. From the prestigious Kilkenny Arts Festival to the hidden murals tucked away in the city's winding "slips" (narrow laneways), this city lives and breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, giving you a chance to contribute to the city's modern visual language. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Kilkenny is often called the "Marble City" because of the local black limestone that shines like marble when wet? It's the perfect atmospheric backdrop for some bright, bold graffiti! 🍀

Pricing

Our graffiti experiences are competitively priced to ensure you get the best value for your Kilkenny adventure. Prices typically range from €30 to €60 per person, depending on your group size and the specific setup (like whether you're painting a massive wall or individual canvases). 🏆
