Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our teacher training is designed for all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can and control pressure—before moving into more complex techniques. The goal is to give you the confidence to lead a class, regardless of your personal artistic background. Our professional artists will guide you through every step of the process in a supportive and relaxed environment.

Is the training focused on safety and health regulations?

Yes, safety is a core part of the curriculum. We cover the importance of well-ventilated spaces, the correct use of FFP3 masks, and skin protection. We also provide you with a comprehensive safety checklist that you can use for your own future workshops. Ensuring your students are safe is just as important as the art itself, and we make sure you are fully prepared for that responsibility.

What materials are included in the session?

We provide all the professional-grade spray paint, caps, safety gear, and surfaces to practice on. You don't need to bring anything other than your enthusiasm and some clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. We also provide digital resources and hand-outs after the session so you can refer back to the techniques and lesson plans we covered during the day.

How long does the teacher training workshop last?

Our training sessions usually last between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the depth of the professional development package you choose. This allows enough time for a theoretical introduction, hands-on practice, and a final Q&A session about classroom management. We can also tailor the duration to fit into your school's inset day or professional development schedule if you are booking as a group.

Can you host the training at our school premises?

Yes, we can absolutely come to your school or community centre in Bristol or the surrounding areas. As long as you have a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated indoor area that meets safety standards, we can bring the entire setup to you. Alternatively, we can host your team at one of our partner legal graffiti walls in the city for a more immersive experience.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in the quality of our training, so we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront costs or deposits. Once the session is complete and your team is inspired and ready to teach, we handle the invoice. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the value and skills provided before any money changes hands.

How is this different from a standard graffiti workshop?

Unlike a standard workshop, teacher training focuses heavily on pedagogy. We teach you how to explain techniques to different age groups, how to manage a large group with spray cans, and how to structure a lesson from scratch. You aren't just learning to paint; you are learning how to be a graffiti mentor. We provide the 'teacher's kit' of knowledge that goes beyond just artistic execution.

Local culture

Bristol isn't just a city with street art; it's the heartbeat of the UK scene. From the legendary walls of Stokes Croft to the massive murals of Bedminster during Upfest, the city is a living gallery. This rich heritage makes it the perfect classroom for educators. When you train with us here, you aren't just learning a craft in isolation; you're connecting with a culture that defines the city's identity. We often draw inspiration from local legends and the evolving styles found throughout Nelson Street. Incorporating this local context into your teaching helps students engage with their own environment, making art class feel relevant, exciting, and deeply rooted in the community they walk through every day.

Our professional development sessions are priced competitively to suit school budgets and department funds:

Standard Training: From £25 to £55 per person.
Small Group/1-on-1: Custom rates available for intensive sessions.

Prices vary based on the number of participants and the location of the training. We pride ourselves on transparency—there are no hidden costs.
