How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: We start with a friendly meet-and-greet and a vital safety briefing on how to use the equipment properly.
  2. The Concept: A brief chat about the difference between illegal vandalism and the culture of street art and muralism.
  3. Mastering the Can: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching you how to hold the spray can to get different effects.
  4. Practice Lines: Everyone gets a chance to spray their first lines, dots, and splashes on a practice wall to get the feel for it.
  5. Sketching the Design: We move on to planning your piece, using chalk or light paint to map out the shapes and letters.
  6. Filling In: This is the fun part! You'll learn how to fill large areas with vibrant colours and create smooth gradients.
  7. The Outline: We teach you the 'power-line' technique to make your graffiti pop and look sharp against the background.
  8. Adding Highlights: The final touches of white or bright colours that give your artwork a 3D effect and professional finish.
  9. Group Photo & Clean Up: We celebrate your new skills with a group photo in front of the art before packing everything away.

Frequently asked questions

How does a graffiti workshop help prevent vandalism?

An anti-vandalism workshop is a positive, creative intervention. Instead of illegal tagging on private property, we teach participants how to express themselves legally and artistically. By providing a professional outlet and teaching the 'unwritten rules' of street art culture, we foster respect for the local environment. It's about turning destructive energy into constructive, beautiful Galway street art.

Is the workshop safe for younger participants?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to all participants. Our professional artists are trained to manage groups safely, and we use low-pressure spray cans that are easier and safer to control. We make sure everyone enjoys the vibe of the Latin Quarter arts scene without any of the risks.

Do we need any prior art experience to join?

No experience is needed at all! Whether you can barely draw a stick figure or you're a budding Picasso, our Galway artists will guide you. We start with the absolute basics of can control and lines before moving on to filling and outlining. You'll be amazed at the professional-looking masterpiece you can create in just a few hours with our help.

Where in Galway do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! We can host the workshop at a legal graffiti wall in Galway, or we can bring the entire setup to your location using large plastic canvases or mobile boards. Whether it's a school yard, a car park, or a community centre, we make sure the area is protected and left spotless after we finish our session.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' itself. We also bring sketches and inspiration boards to help get the ideas flowing. You just need to show up in some old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on!

How long does a typical anti-vandalism session last?

A standard session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final group mural or individual pieces. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep the energy high and the creativity flowing from start to finish.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, which is why we don't require upfront payments. You can book your date and confirm the details, then pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we've delivered in the City of Tribes. It’s all about trust and high-quality local service.
