Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next university event? It’s more than just painting; it’s about expression, stress relief, and pure craic! Here is why Waterford students love our sessions:

  • Ultimate icebreaker: Nothing bonds a group of first-years faster than learning a new skill and getting messy together. 🤝

  • Take it home: Students can work on individual canvases, giving them a unique piece of art for their dorm wall.
  • Professional guidance: Learn from real-deal street artists who live and breathe the culture. 🏆

How it works

  1. Initial briefing: We start with a high-energy intro, safety talk, and a look at the history of street art.
  2. The tag creator: Get inspired by using our online tools or sketching out your first "tag" on paper to find your style.
  3. Can control 101: Learn the basics of how to hold the can, swap nozzles (caps), and manage pressure for clean lines.
  4. The sketch: Use light colours to outline your design on the canvas or wall, getting the proportions just right.
  5. Filling in: This is where the magic happens! We apply those bold colours and learn how to blend like a pro.
  6. Cutting and outlines: Use contrasting colours to sharpen those edges and make your design pop off the surface.
  7. Details and 3D: Add highlights, shadows, and "deadly" details that give your art depth and character.
  8. Group photo: We wrap up by celebrating the creativity and taking some epic photos of the crew with their finished work.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical university graffiti workshop last?

Each session at Graffitifun usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. For Waterford university groups, we find the 2-hour sweet spot works best to ensure everyone gets enough practice time and finishes their final masterpiece without feeling rushed. We are flexible with your schedule, so if you need a shorter "taster" session or a full-day intensive workshop, we can definitely accommodate that!

Do we need any prior art experience to participate?

No way! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners who have never touched a spray can to seasoned art students. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving to advanced shading and 3D effects. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques and how professional your final piece looks. It’s all about having fun and being creative!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality spray cans in a huge range of vibrant colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, and protective gear including gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the setup, we provide either large wooden panels or individual canvases for you to work on. Just bring your energy and some old shoes!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary safety equipment, including high-quality masks and gloves. Our instructors are highly experienced and will give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated or outdoors, keeping the environment safe and enjoyable for all students and staff.

Can you host the workshop at our specific campus location?

Absolutely! We love traveling across the Deise. Whether you want the workshop held on your university campus, at a local sports ground, or a specific event space in Waterford city, we can bring the mobile studio to you. We just need a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated area. If you don't have a spot in mind, let us know and we can help suggest locations.

What happens if the artist is unable to make it?

We pride ourselves on being reliable. Unlike individual freelancers, Graffitifun has a large team of professional artists. We always have backup artists on standby, so in the rare event of an emergency or illness, your workshop will still go ahead as planned. We haven't missed a beat in years, giving you total peace of mind for your event planning.

How much does it cost and how do we pay?

Our pricing is very friendly for student budgets, typically ranging from €30 to €60 per person depending on the group size and the specific requirements of your event. The best part? You don’t have to pay a penny upfront. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete and you’re 100% satisfied with the experience.
