Frequently asked questions

I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Limerick have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to controlling pressure for different line widths. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you’ve created!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint carries a fine mist that can sometimes find its way onto your sleeves or trainers. Think 'artist chic'—comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely while you’re painting your mural.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. we provide high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas, and our instructors are trained to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We use high-quality spray paint brands that are standard in the street art industry, ensuring a professional but safe experience for all ages and skill levels.

How long does the experience last?

A standard tourist workshop in Limerick typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final group or individual masterpiece. If you're on a tight holiday schedule, we can often adjust the timing to suit your plans—just let us know!

Where in Limerick does the workshop take place?

We can host workshops in various locations around Limerick, from vibrant outdoor spots to sheltered indoor spaces if the Irish weather isn't behaving! Once you book, we’ll provide the exact meeting point. If you’re staying at a specific hotel or have a venue in mind for a large group, we can often bring the workshop to you.

What happens if it rains during our scheduled session?

Rain is just part of the charm in Ireland! For our Limerick workshops, we always have a 'Plan B' ready. This usually involves a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space where we can paint comfortably without getting soaked. We monitor the forecast closely and will keep you updated so your creative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of drizzle.
