Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

No prior experience with spray paint is required! Our Sapporo-based professional artists will guide you through the fundamental safety protocols and techniques. This training is specifically designed for art teachers and educators who want to expand their repertoire. We bridge the gap between traditional fine arts and contemporary urban culture, ensuring you feel confident leading your own students through a graffiti unit after the session. Any skill level is welcome!

Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear is provided?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Safety is our number one priority, especially when we discuss how to recreate this environment in a school setting. We use low-pressure cans that are easier to control and non-toxic paints where possible. Part of the curriculum specifically focuses on how you, as a teacher, can manage a safe and ventilated workspace for your students.

How long does the teacher training session last?

A standard professional development session in Sapporo usually lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This timeline includes the theoretical background of street art culture, a hands-on technical skills lab, and a concluding session on pedagogical integration. If you have a larger group of faculty members or specific curriculum goals, we can extend the session into a full-day intensive masterclass. We are very flexible to your schedule!

Can the training be held at my school or a local Sapporo studio?

We typically host our training at vibrant outdoor spots or dedicated creative hubs in Sapporo. However, if your school or institution has an appropriate outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area, we can come to you! Bringing the training to your campus is a great way to assess the specific logistics of where your students might eventually paint. Just let us know your preference when booking.

Will I receive a certificate or professional development credits?

Yes! Every participant receives a Graffitifun certificate of completion. While official PD credits depend on your specific school board or the Hokkaido Board of Education's requirements, we provide all the necessary documentation, lesson plan outlines, and contact hours to help you claim these credits. Our training is recognized for its high standard of technical instruction and focus on urban art history.

How do you handle environmental concerns and sustainability?

Sustainability is important to us. We use recyclable spray cans and offer advice on eco-friendly paint alternatives during the workshop. In our teacher training, we specifically discuss how to balance the 'rebellious' nature of graffiti with environmental responsibility and legal community walls. We teach you how to instill these values in your students so they become respectful members of the Sapporo creative community.

What happens if it rains or snows on the day of the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! In the event of Sapporo's famous heavy snow or rain, we have access to covered outdoor locations and well-ventilated indoor studios. Additionally, we have a roster of backup artists to ensure your session never gets cancelled due to staff illness. You can book your professional development day with total peace of mind, knowing the creative energy will flow regardless of the weather.

Local culture

Sapporo isn't just about the Snow Festival and ramen; it's a city with a growing heartbeat of urban expression. While traditional Japanese aesthetics are beautiful, the youth culture in Hokkaido is hungry for the bold lines and vibrant colors of street art. From the hidden alleyways in Susukino to the creative pockets of the Miyanomori neighborhood, street art is beginning to bloom. 🏔️
