Spraoi Studios Waterford
Spraoi Studios is a creative hub in Waterford that specialises in large-scale street art spectacles like the Spree International Street Art Festival. Their floats have been seen in St. Patrick's Day parades, blowing everyone away. In this article, we follow Izzy, a 16-year-old volunteer, as she takes us on a tour of the studio and shows us how imagination is brought to life through metal structures and costumes. We also get insights from Mike, the creative director, who talks about the importance of metal and the diverse range of people involved in their projects. From costume rooms to metal workshops, the studio is a place where artists, fabricators, carpenters, and semi-retired individuals come together to create magical moments that transcend normality through the creative process. Ultimately, Spraoi Studios is all about creating art that transcends normality and inspires everyone who sees it.
