Pricing
Our school workshops are priced competitively to ensure as many students as possible can experience the joy of street art. Prices typically range from €30 to €60 per person. This variation depends on the total number of students, the duration of the session, and the materials used (e.g., individual canvases for students to take home vs. a large shared mural). 💶
Because every school's needs are different, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. We also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and the peace of mind that comes with no upfront payments—you only pay after the workshop is finished!
Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We generally recommend these workshops for students aged 10 and up, but we can adapt the programme for younger primary school groups using water-based alternatives if requested. It’s all about having fun in a secure, supervised environment.
Do we need to come to a studio, or can you come to our school?
We are completely mobile! We love coming to school grounds in Wexford because it's convenient for you. We can set up on a playground, a sports field, or even indoors in a well-ventilated hall using special low-odour paints. If your school doesn't have a suitable space, just let us know. We have partnerships with local community spaces and can help find a nearby location to host your creative day out.
How long does a typical workshop last?
Standard school workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, sketching, practicing techniques, and completing the final masterpiece. However, we are totally flexible! If you have a specific double-period or a full transition year 'arts day' to fill, we can shorten or extend the programme to fit your school timetable perfectly. Just let us know your schedule, and we will make it work.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from the next Picasso to those who think they can't draw a stick figure. Our artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We start with basic 'tagging' and 'throwing' techniques before moving on to more complex pieces. You’ll be amazed at the high-quality street art the students produce by the end of the session—it’s a huge confidence booster!
What are the costs for a school workshop in Wexford?
Prices generally range from €30 to €60 per student, depending on the number of participants and the specific setup (like whether we are painting on individual canvases or a large communal mural). We understand school budgets can be tight, which is why we offer tiered pricing for larger groups. The best part? You don't have to pay a cent upfront. We settle the payment once the workshop is successfully completed.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Wexford weather can be a bit 'Irish' sometimes! If we're planned for an outdoor session and the rain starts pouring, we have a few options. We can move the workshop under a canopy or into a wide-open indoor space like a gym or hall using eco-friendly, low-odour spray cans. We also have backup artists available, so we almost never have to cancel. We’ll always find a way to keep the creativity flowing!
