Do we need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely! Most of our university participants in Cork haven't touched a spray can since primary school (if ever). Our pro artists start with the absolute basicsāhow to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types. We guide you through the process step-by-step so that by the end of the session, even the most 'non-creative' student will have produced a piece they are genuinely proud of. Itās all about the experience and having a laugh!
Where in Cork do the workshops take place?
We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop right on your Cork campus if there's a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area (properly masked off). Alternatively, we have access to creative spaces and legal spray walls around the city. Weāll handle all the logistics and protective gear regardless of the location, ensuring your student union or society doesn't have to worry about a thing except showing up and having fun.
How long does a typical session last?
Standard university workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the group enough time to learn the techniques, sketch their ideas, and complete a full-scale mural or individual canvases. If you're planning a larger 'drop-in' style event for a campus festival or Fresher's Week, we can adapt the format to allow hundreds of students to contribute to a collaborative wall throughout the entire day.
Is it safe and what gear do we get?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2/FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray paint which is much easier to control and produces less overspray. Our instructors are seasoned professionals who give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone pops a cap. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go so your event never gets cancelled!
What is the cost for a university group?
Our pricing is tiered based on your group size, usually ranging from ā¬30 to ā¬60 per student. For large university societies or official SU events in Cork, we offer competitive package rates. The best part? Thereās no upfront payment required. You can book your date, get everything organised, and only pay after the workshop is completed. This makes it much easier for student treasurers to manage their budgets!
How does this work for student society team building?
Graffiti is the ultimate team-building tool. Unlike a standard night at the pub, this requires communication, shared space, and creative problem-solving. Whether itās a 'Classic' workshop where everyone makes their own piece or a 'Mural' session where the whole society works on one massive Lee-side inspired masterpiece, itās a brilliant way to break the ice and build real connections between students from different courses and backgrounds.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Whatever the Irish weather throws at us, weāve got you covered. If we're outdoors and it starts to pour, we usually have a backup indoor plan or gazebo setup. If the weather is truly 'pure daycent' (terrible), we can reschedule or move to a sheltered location. Because we have a large network of artists, we are incredibly resilient to scheduling hiccups, ensuring your university event goes off without a hitch!
