Frequently asked questions

Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most university students who join our Galway workshops have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the style. You'll be amazed at the professional-looking piece you can create in just a couple of hours with our guidance.

What materials are included in the university workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, protective ponchos, high-quality gloves, and professional respiratory masks. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that's a temporary wall, boards, or individual canvases. Just make sure to wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard university workshop in Galway typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group project or individual masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your society's meeting schedule or a specific slot during Freshers' Week.

Where do the workshops take place in Galway?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various outdoor locations around Galway or come directly to your campus if space permits. We use temporary mobile walls or canvases that can be set up in courtyards or designated student areas. If the Irish weather decides not to cooperate, we have indoor solutions using low-odour water-based paints to keep the fun going safely.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for student events?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who are well-versed in site safety. For university events, we ensure the area is well-ventilated and that all paints are used responsibly. We also carry full public liability insurance to give uni administrators total peace of mind.

Can we work on a collective mural as a society project?

Yes! Graffiti is a brilliant way to encourage collaboration. We often design workshops where students work together on a massive mural that represents their society, department, or university values. It’s a fantastic icebreaker for first-years and a great way for existing members to bond over a shared creative goal. Plus, the final result looks incredible in photos!

How do we book a workshop for our Galway student society?

Booking is easy. Since university group sizes vary, we recommend hitting the 'Request a Quote' button or using our Cost Calculator. Tell us your estimated numbers and preferred dates. We don’t require an upfront payment—you can pay after the workshop is complete. We also have backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation.
