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

Absolutely! We provide all the necessary PPE, including high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits. We also only use low-pressure, water-based spray cans that produce fewer fumes, making them much more comfortable for use in educational settings. Safety is our top priority, and we’ll show you exactly how to set up a safe workspace for your students in any Melbourne school environment.

Do I need to have prior graffiti experience to join?

No prior street art experience is required at all! Whether you are a seasoned art teacher or a primary school educator looking for new ideas, we start with the absolute basics. Our professional artists will guide you through nozzle control and lettering before moving into more advanced mural techniques. You’ll leave the session feeling confident and ready to inspire your students with your new skills.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard professional development sessions usually run for about 2 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a solid mix of theory, safety briefings, and plenty of hands-on practice. We can also customise the duration to fit into your school’s scheduled PD days or curriculum planning blocks. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy session designed to maximize your learning time.

Can the training take place at our school?

We are very flexible! We can come directly to your school in Melbourne to transform your basketball courts or art rooms, or we can host you at one of our dedicated creative spaces. If your school has a specific wall they want to beautify, we can even integrate the training into a live mural project that stays on your campus as a permanent piece of art.

Will I receive any curriculum materials or resources?

While the primary focus is on hands-on creation and pedagogy, we do provide digital summaries and 'cheat sheets' of the techniques covered. These include tips on can control, colour theory, and curriculum integration. After the workshop, you'll also have access to our online Tag Creator and cost calculator tools to help you plan future projects for your own classes.

How does this training benefit my students?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to engage students who might otherwise struggle with traditional fine arts. It teaches scale, collaboration, and confidence. Our training helps you align these street art techniques with the Australian Curriculum, focusing on 'Visual Arts' outcomes such as exploring techniques, developing practices, and presenting artworks. It's a proven way to boost student engagement and school pride.

What is the cost for a group of teachers?

Our pricing is tiered based on the number of teachers attending and the materials required. Generally, prices range from A$40 to A$90 per person. We aim to make our PD sessions accessible for school budgets of all sizes. For a precise figure based on your specific staff numbers and location in Melbourne, just hit the 'Request a quote' button!

Local culture

Melbourne is the street art capital of Australia—and arguably the world! From the iconic bluestone laneways of Hosier Lane to the massive murals in Fitzroy and Collingwood, street art is baked into our city's DNA. We tap into this local culture to show you how graffiti has evolved into a respected contemporary art form. 🇦🇺

Fun Fact: Did you know that the legendary Keith Haring painted a mural in Collingwood back in 1984? It’s still there on Johnston Street! Our training helps you keep that rich artistic legacy alive in your own school. 🔥
