Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! While our program focuses on graffiti and street art techniques, the pedagogical skills and creative workflows we teach are applicable to all mediums. Many educators in Kyoto use our training to revitalize their existing curriculum, bringing a fresh, contemporary energy to traditional art rooms. You'll learn how to manage large-scale projects, which is a transferable skill for any collaborative art project or school mural.

What materials are provided during the workshop?

We provide all the necessary professional-grade equipment for the session. This includes high-quality spray cans from leading brands like Montana, low-pressure nozzles for better control, protective gloves, masks, and specialized surfaces. We also provide digital resources and PDF lesson plans that you can take back to your school or studio. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on!

Is the spray painting process safe for a classroom environment?

Safety is our number one priority, especially when teaching others how to handle spray paint. Our training includes a comprehensive module on ventilation, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) requirements, and how to set up a safe 'no-go' zone for students. We teach you the same protocols our professional artists use, ensuring that you can lead your own workshops with total confidence and peace of mind.

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

Yes, our Art Teacher Training is designed to be highly flexible. We can host the session at one of our inspiring outdoor locations in Kyoto, or our team of artists can come directly to your school or community center. If you choose an on-site session, we'll consult with you beforehand to ensure the space is suitable for a spray paint demonstration and practice session.

How do I integrate graffiti into the standard school curriculum?

One of the biggest hurdles for art teachers is justifying modern street art to administrators. We provide you with the 'language of street art'—showing you how to link graffiti to Art History, social commentary, and typography. You will leave with a clear framework of how to present these lessons as valuable, curriculum-aligned educational experiences that foster student engagement and community pride.

What is your booking and payment policy for educators?

We know how busy educators are! That's why we don't require any upfront payment or deposits to secure your booking. You can organize your professional development day with us and handle the payment after the workshop is completed. We also have a network of backup artists in the Kyoto area to ensure your training goes ahead as planned, no matter what.

Local culture

Kyoto is where ancient tradition meets modern expression. While people usually think of temples and tea ceremonies, the backstreets near the Kamo River and the creative hubs around Kyoto Seika University are buzzing with contemporary creativity. Our training sessions often draw inspiration from the city's incredible graphic history—linking the bold lines of traditional woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e) to the sharp outlines of modern graffiti. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kyoto is home to some of Japan's most prestigious art universities? This makes it the perfect place to pioneer new educational styles that blend 'Old Japan' with the 'New Street' aesthetic. 🎨
