Looking for an exciting, creative graffiti workshop in Belfast or across Northern Ireland? Visual Waste delivers engaging street art and graffiti workshops for schools, community groups, youth organisations, businesses and events.
With over 12 years of experience as a professional graffiti and mural artist, Visual Waste brings an authentic street-art experience directly to participants. Workshops are designed to encourage creativity, build confidence and give people the opportunity to learn practical spray-painting and street-art techniques in a fun, supportive environment.
Graffiti Workshops for Schools
Visual Waste works with schools across Northern Ireland to introduce students to graffiti and street art in a safe, creative and educational environment.
Workshops can be adapted to suit different ages and abilities and can include an introduction to the history and culture of graffiti, spray-paint techniques, stencil art, colour, composition and collaborative mural design.
Rather than simply creating individual pieces, workshops can also culminate in a collaborative artwork designed and produced by the participants. This gives students the opportunity to work together and create something that becomes a permanent part of their school or community.
Community Street Art Workshops
Street art can be a powerful way to bring people together and transform shared spaces. Visual Waste works alongside community groups and youth organisations to create collaborative graffiti projects that encourage participation, creativity and pride in the local environment.
Participants can be involved throughout the creative process, from developing ideas and choosing imagery through to painting the finished mural. The result is artwork that reflects the people, stories and identity of the community.
Creative Graffiti Workshops for Businesses & Events
Graffiti workshops can also provide a unique creative activity for businesses, corporate events, festivals and team-building days.
Visual Waste can tailor workshops to your group, location and objectives, creating an experience that is memorable, interactive and completely different from a traditional art workshop.

- Introduction to graffiti and street art

- Stencil and layering techniques

Frequently Asked Questions About Graffiti & Street Art Workshops
What age groups can take part in a graffiti workshop?
Our graffiti and street art workshops are suitable for participants aged 7 and upwards. Whether you’re organising a workshop for teenagers, adults or a mixed-age group, the activities can be adapted to suit the experience and abilities of the participants.
Do you provide all the materials and equipment?
Yes — you don’t need to worry about buying or supplying the materials. Visual Waste provides everything needed for the workshop, including spray paint, equipment and large boards for participants to create their artwork on. We arrive ready to paint!
Can you run graffiti workshops for large groups?
Absolutely. Large groups are no problem. Workshops can be organised around the number of participants, available space and the type of project you’re planning. For larger groups, we can use multiple large boards so everyone gets plenty of opportunity to get involved and create their own artwork.
Do you offer graffiti workshops for schools?
Yes. School graffiti workshops are one of the most popular ways to introduce young people to street art. Workshops can be tailored for students aged 10+ and can include learning about graffiti and street art, spray-paint techniques, colour, stencils and creating collaborative artwork together.
Can you run community and youth graffiti workshops?
Definitely. Visual Waste works with community groups, youth organisations and local projects to create fun, positive and engaging street art experiences. Workshops can be designed around your group, with participants encouraged to contribute their own ideas and creativity.
Do you offer workshops for businesses and corporate events?
Yes. Graffiti workshops can make a great alternative activity for corporate events, team-building days and creative experiences. They give everyone the chance to put the phones down, get creative and produce something they’re genuinely proud of.
Where do you provide graffiti workshops?
Visual Waste provides graffiti and street art workshops throughout Northern Ireland and across Ireland. Workshops can take place in schools, community centres, businesses, outdoor spaces, event venues and other suitable locations.
Do we need to provide somewhere for everyone to paint?
Not necessarily. Visual Waste can provide large boards specifically for the workshop, giving participants a dedicated surface to paint on. We’ll discuss the available space with you beforehand and work out the best setup for your group.
How long does a graffiti workshop last?
Workshop length can be tailored to your requirements, group size and the type of project you want to create. If you’re planning a school day, community programme or event, we can discuss the time available and create a workshop that fits.
Do participants need any previous art or graffiti experience?
Not at all! That’s part of the fun. The workshops are designed for complete beginners as well as people who already have an interest in graffiti and street art. Visual Waste demonstrates the techniques and then lets participants experiment and develop their own ideas.
How do I book a graffiti workshop?
Simply get in touch with Visual Waste and let us know what you’re planning, where you’re located, the number of participants and their ages. We can then discuss your requirements and put together a workshop that’s right for your group.
