Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned painter or someone who struggles to draw a stick figure, our professional artists will teach you the fundamental techniques of spray painting from scratch. We focus on the 'how-to-teach' aspect, ensuring you feel confident guiding your own students through the process regardless of your personal artistic background.

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. During the session, we cover essential safety protocols for the classroom, such as proper ventilation, nozzle control, and paint storage. You’ll leave with a comprehensive understanding of how to run a workshop that is both creatively explosive and completely safe for your students and the school environment.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The session in Cork typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical background, hands-on practice with various nozzles, and a final collaborative project. We can also customise the duration to fit your school's professional development schedule or 'Croke Park hours.' Just let us know your requirements, and we will tailor the timing to suit your needs!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray cans in a wide array of colours, various caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your classroom. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Can this training be integrated into the Junior Cycle curriculum?

Definitely! While we focus on the art of the spray can, the principles of composition, colour theory, and typography are universal. We show you how to link graffiti projects with the existing Art, Craft, and Design curriculum. It’s a fantastic way to engage students who might find traditional fine art intimidating, helping them find their voice through contemporary urban culture.

Do you come to our school or do we travel to you?

We are very flexible when it comes to location. We can bring the entire setup to your school grounds in Cork, or we can host your team at one of our vibrant local partner spaces. If we come to you, all we need is a well-ventilated outdoor area or a covered space with high ceilings. We handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving your grounds exactly as we found them.

What happens if we need to cancel or change the date?

One of the best things about working with Graffitifun is our 'no-stress' booking policy. There is no upfront payment required; you only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists available across Ireland, ensuring that your professional development day will never be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Your peace of mind is guaranteed!
