Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our art teacher training in Jyvaskyla is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts maestro or have never touched a spray can, our professional artists guide you through the basics of can control, pressure, and cap selection. The goal is to give you the confidence to demonstrate these techniques to your students safely and effectively.

What safety equipment is provided during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls to all participants. During the session, we cover essential safety protocols for the classroom, including proper ventilation, fire safety, and how to manage a group of students with spray paint. You'll leave feeling fully prepared to lead a session without any 'colourful' accidents!

What should I wear to the graffiti teacher training?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, graffiti can be messy. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are a must. Since Jyvaskyla weather can be unpredictable, we usually host these in ventilated indoor spaces or covered outdoor areas, so bring an extra layer if it's chilly.

How long does the professional development session last?

The training usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, master the technical skills, and discuss the pedagogical application in a school setting. We find this length is perfect for getting hands-on experience without feeling rushed, ensuring you have time to ask plenty of questions.

Can I take my artwork home after the session?

Yes, most of our training sessions in Finland are designed so that you create a piece on a large canvas or a professional-grade cellophane wall. This means you can often take your physical work back to your school or studio to show your students as a real-world example of what can be achieved with the techniques you've learned.

What is your booking and cancellation policy?

We understand that school budgets and plans can change. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. You don't need to worry about upfront costs; we focus on delivering a fantastic experience first. If you need to reschedule, just let us know as soon as possible, and our backup artists will ensure we find a new slot that works.

How can I integrate graffiti into my existing art curriculum?

Street art is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional art forms. It encourages large-scale thinking, collaboration, and confidence. By bringing graffiti into your curriculum, you're teaching contemporary art history, colour theory, and community respect in a way that resonates with modern youth culture. It's a powerful tool for social-emotional learning!
