Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic talent to join a workshop in Cork?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Cork 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, relaxed environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can produce in just a couple of hours with our guidance.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint, and our instructors are experts in site safety. Because we work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces, you can focus entirely on your creativity while staying safe and protected throughout the entire session.

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our public workshops in Cork, we recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This ensures that participants have the hand strength and coordination to operate the spray cans effectively. We love hosting families! For younger creative sparks, we can often arrange customized private sessions or use water-based markers to ensure everyone gets to join in on the street art fun.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Cork's weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't have to stop! We have access to several sheltered outdoor spots and indoor venues around the city. If the 'monsoon' hits, we can usually move the workshop to a covered area or reschedule for a clearer day. We always keep a close eye on the forecast and stay in touch with you to ensure a great experience.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard workshops typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive 'deep dive' into mural techniques, we can extend the session. We find this timeframe is the sweet spot for keeping the energy high and the creativity flowing!

What do I need to bring with me?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' (whether that's a wall or a portable board). You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We handle all the setup and cleanup.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Whatever you like! While we often work on a collaborative group mural for that authentic street art feel, we also provide individual canvases or boards if you'd prefer to take your artwork home. Many of our corporate and school groups in Cork love the 'Big Picture' approach where everyone contributes to one giant masterpiece, but the choice is yours—just let us know your preference!
