Do I need to have any artistic talent or experience?

Absolutely not! Our Waterford graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our pro artists will walk you through everything from how to hold the spray can to advanced fading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've managed to create on the wall. It’s all about having a laugh and trying something new in a supportive, creative environment.

What happens if it rains during our outdoor workshop?

Waterford can be a bit 'soft' (rainy) at times! If we are working outdoors and the weather turns against us, we usually have backup indoor locations or can arrange for professional marquees. Alternatively, we can reschedule your session to a sunnier day. We always keep a close eye on the forecast to ensure your street art experience is comfortable and fun, regardless of the Irish weather.

Is the spray paint safe and do you provide protective gear?

We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality FFP2/FFP3 respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. The paints we use are professional grade but safe when used with the provided gear. Our instructors give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for kids, teens, and adults alike. Your safety is our number one priority!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard public workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, practice sessions on the 'try-out' wall, and then the creation of your final masterpiece. If you're booking for a specific event like a festival or a brand activation, we can scale the timing up or down to suit your schedule. We never rush the creative process!

Is there an age limit for the graffiti workshops?

Generally, we recommend our workshops for ages 6 and up. For younger children, we use water-based cans or markers to keep things manageable. Graffiti is a fantastic multi-generational activity—we often see grandparents tagging alongside their grandkids! It's a brilliant way to bridge the age gap through modern art. For school groups or youth clubs in Waterford, we tailor the difficulty level to the specific age group.

What are your payment and cancellation policies?

We are incredibly flexible. No upfront payment is required to secure your booking; you can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied. We also have a 'backup artist' guarantee—if your primary instructor is unwell, we have a network of professional artists ready to step in so your event in Waterford is never cancelled. We’re all about making the process stress-free and reliable.

Can we choose the location for our workshop in Waterford?

We can host workshops at various cool locations around Waterford, from urban outdoor spots to indoor studios. If you have a specific venue in mind—like a school yard, a community centre, or a corporate car park—we can usually come to you! We bring all the boards and materials needed, so we can transform almost any space into a temporary street art gallery. Just let us know your preference!
