Do the kids need to be good at drawing to participate?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to enjoy our Waterford youth workshops. Our professional artists are pros at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps that anyone can follow. We focus on building confidence and self-expression, ensuring every participant walks away feeling like a proper street artist, regardless of their starting skill level. It is all about having a go and having fun!

What safety measures do you have in place for youth projects?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep their clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and much safer for beginners. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a secure and controlled environment throughout the entire creative process in Waterford.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Standard youth project workshops in Waterford typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a safety briefing, technique practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group, we can certainly tailor the duration to fit your needs. We are flexible and want to make sure the timing works perfectly for your youth group's itinerary.

Can you come to our youth club or community centre?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the workshop at your specific location in Waterford if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area with permission. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local spot that works for street art. We bring all the necessary equipment to you, making it as easy as possible to integrate this exciting activity into your youth programme.

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

Ideally, dry weather is best for outdoor spraying, but we are well-prepared for the Irish climate! If the Waterford weather doesn't play ball, we can often move the session to a sheltered outdoor area or use a large, well-ventilated indoor space. Because we have a team of backup artists, we are very reliable and will always work with you to find a solution rather than simply cancelling the fun.

Is there an age limit for the youth project workshops?

Our workshops are generally best suited for young people aged 10 and up. At this age, they usually have the hand strength to operate the spray cans and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt our sessions for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or different techniques. Just let us know the age range of your Waterford group and we will customise the experience.

Local culture

Waterford isn't just Ireland's oldest city; it’s becoming one of its most vibrant hubs for contemporary street art! Every year, the city transforms during the Waterford Walls festival, which has turned gable ends and alleyways into a world-class outdoor gallery. Our workshops tap into this local energy, showing the youth of Waterford that they don't just have to look at the art—they can be part of creating it. From the Viking Triangle to the outskirts of town, the spirit of creativity is everywhere. ⚓

Fun Fact: Waterford is home to some of the largest murals in Ireland, with artists travelling from all over the globe to paint on the city's historic walls!

Pricing

Our youth project workshops are competitively priced to ensure community groups can access high-quality creative experiences. Prices generally range from €30 to €60 per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the materials required.

We don't require any upfront payment—you simply pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy! 🏆
