Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join the training?

While no prior graffiti experience is required, these sessions are designed for educators, art teachers, and community leaders. We focus on bridging the gap between traditional fine art and contemporary street culture. You’ll learn the technical skills to teach spray painting safely and effectively, making it a brilliant addition to your professional development portfolio here in Dublin.

What safety protocols are covered in the art teacher training?

We take safety very seriously! Our training covers the proper use of high-quality respirators, nitrile gloves, and protective suits. We also teach you how to manage a group of students in an outdoor or well-ventilated indoor setting, ensuring that you can lead your own workshops back at your school or centre without any health or safety concerns.

How long does the training session typically last?

Standard professional development sessions in Dublin usually last between 2 and 4 hours. However, we offer full-day intensives if you want to dive deeper into mural planning and advanced lettering techniques. We are flexible and can work around your schedule, whether you’re coming from a local school or a community youth project.

Are all materials provided for the Dublin workshops?

Absolutely! We provide all the necessary gear, including premium spray cans in a wide range of colours, caps (nozzles), masks, gloves, and protective overalls. We also provide the surfaces for practice. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'art' on! Everything is included in the per-person price.

Can the training be held at my own school or facility?

Yes, we can! While we have fantastic spots around Dublin city centre, our artists are mobile. If your school or community centre has a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space, we can bring the entire setup to you. This is often a great way to see how the workshop would function in your own professional environment.

How does this training help me engage students who aren't interested in traditional art?

Graffiti is one of the most effective ways to reach 'disengaged' learners. It levels the playing field, as it doesn't require traditional drawing skills to start. Our training includes tips on how to use street art to discuss social issues, identity, and urban history, making your art curriculum more relevant and exciting for modern Irish students.

What is the cost for a professional development session in Dublin?

Our pricing is transparent and typically ranges from €30 to €60 per person, depending on the group size and the specific depth of the training required. For larger groups of teachers or staff development days, we offer tiered rates. The best way to get an exact figure is to request a custom quote via our website.

Local culture

Dublin has a rich, thriving street art culture that stretches far beyond the famous murals of Temple Bar. From the iconic walls of the Bernard Shaw to the hidden gems in Smithfield and the colourful lanes of Richmond Road, the city is a living gallery. Our training taps into this local vibe, teaching you the "Dublin style" while acknowledging the global history of the movement. We often draw inspiration from local legends and the city's unique mix of traditional Irish heritage and modern urban grit.

Fun Fact for Dubs: Did you know that some of Dublin's most famous "legal walls" serve as vital training grounds for internationally renowned artists? We’ll show you how to navigate these spaces and how to build a positive relationship between street art and the local community.
