Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Waterford have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the nozzle, manage pressure, and create smooth lines. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where you can experiment without any pressure. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created from scratch.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves to keep you clean, spray paint can be unpredictable in the breeze. Think layers—Waterford weather can be changeable, and we want you to stay cozy while you're getting creative at the wall!

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are high-quality and used in an outdoor or well-ventilated environment. Our instructors are experienced professionals who will guide you on the correct techniques to ensure a fun, safe, and mess-free experience for everyone involved.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Waterford usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a thorough introduction, some practice runs on the 'training wall,' and then the main event where you create your full-scale piece. If you have a tight travel itinerary, just let us know and we can tailor the timing to suit your schedule.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Ireland is known for its 'liquid sunshine,' but don't worry! We have several covered or indoor locations available in Waterford to ensure the fun doesn't stop. If the weather looks particularly rough, we’ll coordinate with you to move the session to a sheltered spot or adjust the timing. Your creative flow won't be dampened by a few clouds!

Are materials included in the price?

Everything is included! Your booking covers all the spray paint (in a rainbow of vibrant colours), caps/nozzles, protective gear, and the expert guidance of a local artist. We also provide the surface to paint on, whether that’s a professional legal wall or individual canvases if requested. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a camera to snap some photos!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! For tourist groups, we often work on large shared walls, but we can also arrange for you to paint on high-quality canvases that you can take home. It’s a brilliant, one-of-a-kind souvenir from your time in Waterford. If you're travelling light, we can even discuss shipping options or focus on the digital memories with a professional photo session of your work.
