Do I need to be an expert artist to join the teacher training?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Dundalk training is designed to take you from a complete novice to a confident street art educator. We start with the basics of can control and safety before moving into advanced mural techniques. Our goal is to give you the skills and the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions effectively, regardless of your current artistic level.

What materials are included in the professional development session?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes high-quality spray cans in a wide range of colours, protective masks, gloves, overalls, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school or studio. Just wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on!

Is the spray paint safe to use in a school setting?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade sprays and provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including high-quality respirators and gloves. During the training, we also cover how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace for your students, ensuring you can manage graffiti projects in a school environment without any health or safety risks.

Can you hold the training session at our own school in Dundalk?

Yes, we offer flexible training options! While we love hosting groups at our creative hubs, we can also bring the entire setup to your school or organization in Dundalk or surrounding County Louth. This is often a great way for staff teams to learn together in the environment where they will actually be teaching. We’ll just need a suitable outdoor wall or some open space to set up mobile boards.

How long does a typical training session last?

Our standard teacher professional development workshops usually last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the movement, technical skills, and practical lesson planning. However, we can also offer full-day intensive sessions if you want to dive deeper into large-scale mural production. We’re happy to customize the duration to fit your staff meeting or inset day schedule.

What happens if the training doesn't meet my expectations?

We believe in our programme 100%, and your satisfaction is our guarantee. If you don't feel more confident and inspired to teach street art after our session, we will work with you to make it right. Plus, with our 'pay after the workshop' policy, you can book with total peace of mind knowing that we are committed to delivering a high-quality, professional experience every time.

Local culture

Dundalk has always had a gritty, creative soul, and the street art scene here is truly beginning to bloom. From the murals celebrating our local heritage to the modern "Seek" festival works that have transformed gable ends across the town, there's inspiration around every corner. We love bringing our art teacher training to a town that bridges the gap between Dublin and Belfast, absorbing the best of both cities' urban art cultures. 🎨

Whether we're setting up near the Marshes or at a local school grounds, the energy in Louth is unmatched. We aim to help Dundalk teachers tap into this local pride, using graffiti as a tool to engage students who might feel disconnected from more traditional "fine art" subjects. ✨
