Do I need to be an experienced artist to take this training?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is required! Our Sofia-based artist instructors specialize in teaching beginners. We focus on the pedagogical side—how to break down complex spray techniques into simple steps for your students. We’ll show you how to manage a classroom in an outdoor or ventilated setting, ensuring you feel confident leading your own street art modules by the end of the day.

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

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, nitrile gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. During the training, we’ll teach you how to set up a safe 'spray zone' for your students, how to manage fumes, and the importance of using low-pressure cans for better control. You'll leave with a complete safety checklist to use in your own school environment.

Are all the materials included in the training price?

Yes, we provide all the necessary professional equipment. This includes a wide variety of spray cans (low pressure for detail and high pressure for filling), various nozzles (caps), respiratory protection, and canvases or boards. We also provide digital resources and templates that you can take back to your classroom to help your students plan their designs before they even touch a can.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Standard professional development sessions in Sofia typically last between 3 to 5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, master basic can control, and complete a collaborative mural project. However, we can also offer intensive full-day masterclasses if you want to dive deeper into advanced techniques like stencilling or 3D lettering.

Can you host the training at our school?

Our training is highly flexible. While we usually host sessions at inspiring local street art hubs in Sofia, we are more than happy to come to your school or community centre. Bringing the training to your location allows us to assess your specific space and provide tailored advice on where and how your students can safely practice graffiti on-site.

How do I adapt these skills for different student age groups?

We believe that street art belongs to everyone. Our instructors will show you how to adapt graffiti techniques for different age groups and ability levels. Whether you are working with primary school children on simple 'tag' designs or helping high school students develop complex artistic concepts, we provide the pedagogical tools to make street art inclusive and engaging for every pupil.

Local culture

Sofia is a city where history meets high-energy modernism. From the iconic graffiti on the electrical boxes of the city centre to the world-renowned murals near the Central Railway Station, the city serves as our open-air laboratory. We often draw inspiration from local legends like the '0130' crew or the stunning work of Bozko, whose characters watch over the city's streets. Teaching street art here feels natural because the city itself is a gallery.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Sofia’s 'Graffiti Tour' is one of the most popular cultural activities in the city? It highlights how the local authorities and artists have worked together to transform grey socialist-era walls into vibrant landmarks. 🎨

Pricing

Our training sessions are competitively priced to suit school budgets and professional development funds. Prices typically range from лв40 to лв90 per person.

Please note that the final cost depends on the group size, the venue choice, and the specific materials required for your custom curriculum. We believe in transparency and flexibility!
