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

Absolutely no prior art experience is needed! Our Kimberley training is designed to take you from a complete novice to a confident street art educator. We focus on the 'how-to' of teaching, meaning we provide the frameworks and safety protocols you need to guide others, even if you’ve never held a spray can before today. It’s all about the process and the passion!

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the professional development session, we also teach you how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor classroom environment, how to manage group dynamics with spray paint, and the legalities of street art to ensure your future students stay on the right side of the law.

How long does the training session last?

Our standard teacher training workshops in Kimberley typically last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical introduction, hands-on practice, and a final collaborative mural. If you are looking for a more intensive multi-day certification, we can certainly customise a program that dives deeper into curriculum integration and advanced spray techniques over a full weekend.

What are the payment terms for the training?

We believe in a 'stress-free' booking process for our Kimberley educators. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We send an invoice after the workshop is completed, and payment can be made via EFT. This makes it much easier for school departments and NGOs to process the paperwork through their standard financial systems without any personal out-of-pocket expenses.

What materials are included in the professional development package?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your classroom. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'art' on!

Can you host the training at our specific school or facility?

While we have a dedicated studio space, we are fully mobile! We can bring the entire graffiti workshop setup to your school, community centre, or gallery in Kimberley or surrounding Northern Cape areas. As long as there is a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space, we can transform it into a vibrant street art classroom for the day.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your next professional development day? It’s more than just paint on walls; it’s a powerful tool for engagement and school spirit. Here’s why Kimberley teachers are loving our program:

Instant student engagement: Graffiti is "cool" by default, helping you connect with even the hardest-to-reach learners. ✨
Hands-on skill building: Move beyond the chalkboard and master a medium that requires focus, coordination, and scale.
Safe & legal focus: We teach you the difference between vandalism and street art, empowering you to guide students responsibly.

The 'No-Ghosting' technique: Master basic strokes like flares, dots, and outlines that are essential for teaching beginners.

Curriculum integration: A collaborative brainstorming session on how to link graffiti to CAPS requirements or community goals.
The collaborative mural: Put your skills to the test by co-creating a large-scale piece, simulating a real classroom project.

Local culture

Kimberley, known as the 'Diamond City', has always had a rich history of industry and grit, which makes it the perfect backdrop for the raw, honest expression of street art. While the city is famous for the Big Hole, we’re more interested in the rising creative scene taking over the streets. Our workshops tap into this local resilience and sparkle, encouraging teachers to find the 'diamonds' in their students' untapped potential. 💎

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kimberley was the first city in the Southern Hemisphere to have electric street lights? We like to think our graffiti workshops are the modern version of that—bringing some serious 'glow' and colour to the local streets! 💡

Pricing

We offer flexible pricing to suit school budgets and NGO requirements. Our training sessions are priced per person to ensure everyone gets enough hands-on time and materials.

Estimated Price Range: R400 - R900 per person
