How it works
- Initial enquiry: Reach out to us with your preferred dates and the number of students participating in Cork.
- Design the theme: We chat about what your students are learningâmaybe it's nature, 'The Rebel City' history, or school valuesâand we incorporate that into the workshop.
- Safety first: On the day, we start with a fun but thorough safety briefing and show the kids how to use their protective gear professionally.
- Master the tech: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'âhow to make thin lines, fat drips, and cool fades.
- Sketching the wall: Students help sketch the layout on the boards or canvases, planning their masterpiece.
- The big paint: This is the best part! Under our guidance, the kids get hands-on with the spray cans to fill in the designs.
- Final outlines: We help the kids add those sharp outlines and highlights that make the graffiti pop.
- Review and photos: We finish with a 'gallery walk' where students talk about their work, followed by a big group photo with their creation.
Practical details
- Duration: Usually 1.5 to 2 hours, though we can adjust for double-sessions.
- Group size: We cater to full class sizes (approx. 30 students) per artist.
- Whatâs included: All paint, boards/canvases, respiratory masks, gloves, and aprons.

Pricing
We believe in transparent pricing that works for school budgets. Our school workshops in Cork typically range from:

Frequently asked questions
Is gravity painting safe for primary school children?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for primary school workshops in Cork. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective aprons for every student. We also use low-odour, water-based spray paints where possible and ensure all sessions are conducted in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Our professional artists are fully trained in managing large groups of children safely, ensuring everyone has a brilliant time without any risks.
Do the children need any artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are specifically designed to be inclusive for all skill levels. Whether a student is already a little artist or has never held a spray can before, our Cork-based instructors provide step-by-step guidance. We focus on 'creative freedom' and building confidence, ensuring that every child leaves the session feeling proud of what they have created, regardless of their prior artistic experience.
Where in Cork do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Cork, using a playground or a sports hall with proper ventilation. If youâd prefer to get the kids out of the classroom, we can also arrange sessions at various street-art friendly locations across the city. We bring all the boards, plastic sheeting, and materials, so we leave your school just as clean as we found it.
How long does a typical school session last?
A typical primary school workshop lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance: enough time for a health and safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your schoolâs specific timetable, such as a morning session before lunch or an afternoon creative block.
What do the students need to bring with them?
The kids don't need to bring a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for a successful street art day: premium spray cans in every colour of the rainbow, protective gear (gloves, masks, suits), and the surfaces to paint on. We do recommend that students wear 'old' clothes and shoes just in case, even though we provide aprons to keep them tidy.
Is there a minimum group size for Cork schools?
Yes, we do! While we don't require deposit payments, we do have a minimum group size for our school bookings to ensure we can cover the travel and material costs for our professional artists. Usually, this is around 15-20 students, but we are always happy to discuss smaller groups or multiple small classes in one day. Get in touch for a custom quote!
What happens to the artwork after the workshop?
One of the best parts of our workshops is that the art stays with you! Depending on the setup you choose, students can either create individual canvases to take home or work together on large wooden panels. These panels are perfect for mounting on school walls or fences, creating a lasting legacy of the students' creativity right there in the heart of Cork.
