Do I need to be a professional artist to attend this training?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our artist-educators are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into manageable steps. We start with the basics of nozzle control and safety, ensuring you feel confident before you ever touch a wall. This training is specifically designed to help you bridge the gap between 'novice' and 'instructor' in a single, high-energy session.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, various nozzle types (caps) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and educational handouts that you can take back to your classroom for future reference.

Can you host the training at my school or university?

Yes, we can! While we have amazing partner locations across Dresden, our team is fully mobile. If your school or institution has a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space (and the necessary permissions), we can bring the entire graffiti school setup to you. This is often a great way to assess how street art can work within your specific educational environment.

How does the 'no upfront payment' policy work?

We understand that school budgets and professional development funds can be tricky. That's why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront costs or deposits to secure your date. Once the training is complete and you're 100% satisfied with the experience, we'll handle the invoicing. It’s all about trust and making things easy for you.

Will we learn about the local Dresden street art scene?

Dresden is famous for its 'Erich Kästner' mural and the vibrant Outer Neustadt scene. During the training, we don't just teach technique; we discuss the history and legalities of local street art. We'll help you understand the difference between illegal tagging and Dresden’s sanctioned 'Hall of Fame' spots, giving you the context needed to lead responsible and informed discussions with your students.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The training typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe is carefully structured to cover the 'Discovery' phase (history and safety), the 'Creation' phase (hands-on painting), and the 'Pedagogy' phase (how to teach this to others). It’s an intensive but incredibly fun session that respects your busy schedule while ensuring you walk away with a brand-new skillset.

Mastering the 'cap': Learn how different nozzles (fat caps vs. skinny caps) change your line weight and texture—essential knowledge for any pro.
The 'Ghost' technique: Practice drawing your outlines without paint first to master the fluid arm movements required for large-scale art.
Colour theory in the wild: Experiment with blends, fades, and 'cuts' to understand how spray paint interacts differently than traditional acrylics or oils.
From sketch to wall: Learn the 'grid method' or 'doodle grid' to help your students scale up their small sketchbook drawings to massive murals.
Classroom management: We share tips on how to organise a graffiti session for 30+ students while keeping things safe, clean, and productive.
The final masterpiece: Put your skills to the test by creating a collaborative piece or an individual canvas that showcases your new expertise.

Local culture

Dresden is a city of stunning contrasts, where Baroque architecture meets the gritty, vibrant energy of the Äußere Neustadt. This district is a living gallery, home to some of the most iconic murals in Saxony. During our training, we draw inspiration from the local "Street Art Map" of Dresden, ensuring you understand the cultural heartbeat of the city. From the colourful facades of the Kunsthofpassage to the hidden gems along the Elbe, Dresden's creative spirit is infectious.

🎨 Fun Fact: The "Friedrichstadt" district in Dresden hosts several legal "Hall of Fame" walls where artists from all over Germany come to showcase their talent. It's the perfect place to see the techniques you'll learn in our workshop applied at a world-class level!
