Do I need to be a street artist already to take this training?

No previous experience with spray paint is necessary! Our teacher training is designed to take you from absolute beginner to confident instructor. We'll guide you through the basics of can control and safety before moving into more advanced mural techniques. By the end of the session, you'll have the technical skills and the pedagogical framework to lead your own successful graffiti art classes with your students.

How do you handle health and safety for school environments?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including high-quality masks and gloves. During the training, we'll teach you how to set up a safe outdoor 'spray zone' at your school, how to manage ventilation, and how to properly dispose of materials. You'll leave the workshop with a clear safety checklist to ensure your future student sessions are both fun and hazard-free.

How long does the professional development session last?

The training typically runs for 2.5 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, safety briefing, hands-on practice, and a final collaborative mural. We also dedicate time to discussing lesson planning and curriculum integration. If your department has specific needs or a larger group, we can customise the duration to fit your professional development schedule perfectly. Just let us know what works for your team!

Can we customise the training to fit our specific school curriculum?

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring along your curriculum goals. Whether you want to focus on stencil art, wildstyle lettering, or social-justice-themed murals, our artists will help you tailor the techniques to fit your specific teaching outcomes. We can even help you map the workshop activities to the NSW Creative Arts Syllabus markers, making your reporting and planning much easier.

What materials are included in the workshop fee?

Everything is included in the price! We provide professional-grade spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates you can take back to your classroom. All you need to bring is some comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on and your creative energy!

What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule our session?

We understand that school budgets can be tricky and schedules often change. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and have a team of backup artists ready to go. If something unexpected happens and we need to reschedule, we’ll work with you to find a new date that suits your department. We aim for 100% satisfaction and a stress-free experience for our Newcastle educators.
