Do I need previous experience with spray paint to join?

Not at all! Our training is designed to take you from a complete novice to a confident street art instructor. We cover the basics of 'can control' and nozzle selection before moving into complex pieces. As long as you have a passion for art education and a willingness to try something new, our professional artists will guide you through every spray and stroke. You'll leave with all the skills needed to teach your own classes.

What safety equipment is provided during the training?

Safety is our number one priority, especially when you're taking these skills back to a classroom. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. During the session, we teach you how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor 'spray zone' for your students, ensuring that you can manage health and safety requirements effectively within a school environment in Lae.

Do I need to pay upfront for the teacher training?

Professional development should be accessible! We don't require any upfront payments to secure your booking. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the administrative side of things, letting you focus entirely on mastering the art of the mural. We can provide invoices for school accounts or professional development grants.

Can the techniques learned be used for large school murals?

Absolutely! While we provide canvases for the practice sessions, the techniques you learn are perfectly suited for large-scale external walls. We discuss the different types of surfaces—from concrete to brick—and how to prime them for the best results. If your school has a dull wall that needs a makeover, this training will give you the confidence to lead a student mural project from start to finish.

How long does the training session usually last?

A standard professional development session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, practice technical skills, and complete a full collaborative piece. If you're looking for a more intensive 'Masterclass' format, we can extend the duration or split the training over two days to dive deeper into advanced stencil work and character design.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything! Your training package includes all premium spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and practice surfaces. We also provide educational handouts and digital resources that you can use when planning your own lessons. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic' paint on!

Will we create an actual piece of graffiti during the session?

Yes, we do! We believe the best way to learn is to dive right in. After the initial skill-building phase, you will work on a collaborative project. This allows you to experience the exact same process your students will go through. It's a fantastic way to understand the challenges of group dynamics in street art and how to facilitate a successful, high-energy creative session.

Local culture

Lae is a city of incredible movement and growth, from the bustling markets to the industrial heart of the Port. We love bringing our workshops to the Morobe Province because the community spirit here is so strong. Did you know that Lae’s unique climate—with its legendary rainfall—actually makes for a fantastic challenge for outdoor artists? We teach you how to work with the environment, ensuring your school murals stay vibrant even in the tropical heat. 🎨

Fun Fact: Lae is known as the "Garden City" of Papua New Guinea, and we think the best way to add to that beauty is through colourful, community-driven street art that celebrates local culture!
