How it works
- Initial consultation: Reach out to us to discuss your school's goals, whether it's a TY project, a mural for the yard, or a creative reward day.
- Theme selection: We work with you to pick a theme—this could be school values, local Limerick history, or a specific curriculum topic.
- Setup & safety: On the day, our artists arrive early to set up the workspace and prep the protective gear for all students.
- Introduction & demos: We start with a bang! Students learn about the history of street art and see a live demonstration of basic spray techniques.
- The 'Tag' practice: Before hitting the big wall, everyone gets to practice line work, fading, and 'can control' on their own space.
- Collective mural creation: Under our guidance, the students work together to fill in the large-scale design, learning about teamwork and scale.
- Individual finishing touches: Students can add their own unique flair and 'tags' to the masterpiece, making the art truly theirs.
- Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the finished work with a big group photo before we handle all the teardown and cleaning.

Frequently asked questions
Is the workshop safe for students and teachers?
The safety of your students is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality face masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep uniforms clean. We only use professional-grade spray paint, and our artists are trained to manage large groups in an outdoor or well-ventilated setting. We also provide a full risk assessment for schools upon request to make sure your peace of mind is sorted before we even arrive.
Can you come to our school campus in Limerick?
Absolutely! We can easily travel to your secondary school or primary school in Limerick or the surrounding Mid-West area. All we need is an outdoor space with a legal wall or pre-arranged boards, and enough room for the students to move around safely. If you don't have a suitable space on-site, let us know—we can often help find a local spot or provide mobile wooden walls for the session.
How long does a typical school graffiti session last?
For school groups in Limerick, we usually suggest a duration of 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or transition year modules if needed. Every session is designed to be high-energy and engaging from start to finish.
Do students need to have art experience?
No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from the students who excel in art class to those who haven't picked up a brush in years. Our professional artists break down the techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on 'controlled' spraying, so even beginners can walk away feeling proud of what they've created. It's all about confidence and having a laugh together.
What materials are included in the school package?
We provide everything! This includes all the spray cans in a huge range of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear like masks and gloves, and the surfaces—whether that's large boards for a collective mural or individual canvases for students to take home. You just need to bring the students and ensure they are wearing old clothes/shoes just in case, even though we provide overalls. We handle the setup and the cleanup.
Do you offer discounts for large school groups?
Yes, we do! For bigger school groups or entire year groups (like TY students), we can run staggered sessions or bring in multiple backup artists to ensure everyone gets a turn and remains supervised. We are very experienced in managing large numbers while keeping the energy high and the environment safe. Reach out to us with your student count, and we will build a custom plan and quote for you.
