Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Dublin graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic spray can control and safety. You don't need any prior 'artistic ability' to walk away with a piece you're proud of. It's all about having a laugh and trying something new in a supportive environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for the perfect street art session. This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, high-quality masks, gloves, and protective clothing to keep your festival gear clean. Depending on the package, you'll paint on shared walls or your own individual canvas. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a camera to capture the process!

Is the spray paint safe and what protective gear is provided?

Safety is our top priority while we're making art. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained in safe handling procedures. We ensure the environment is controlled so you can focus entirely on the creative 'craic' without any worries about the technical side.

What happens if it rains during our scheduled outdoor session?

Dublin weather can be a bit 'grand' one minute and rainy the next! Because we use various locations across the city, we always aim to have sheltered or indoor options available if the clouds open up. Our team monitors the forecast closely, and we’ll coordinate with you to ensure your workshop happens in a dry, comfortable setting regardless of the Irish rain.

How long does the graffiti experience typically last?

Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for introductions, a demonstration of techniques, sketching out your ideas, and the main event—painting your masterpiece! We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and ensuring everyone finishes their artwork without feeling rushed through the creative process.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

The 'more the merrier' definitely applies here! We can accommodate solo travellers in join-in sessions or host large private groups of up to 50+ people for special events. For tourist groups, we typically recommend a minimum of 4-5 people to get the best atmosphere, but we are flexible. If you have a specific group size in mind, just let us know!

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or simply send us a message with your preferred date and group size. The best part? There is no upfront payment required! You can settle the bill after the workshop once you've seen how much fun the experience actually is. Your satisfaction is our guarantee.
