Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join the training?

Our Sydney professional development sessions are designed to be highly inclusive. Whether you are a fine arts veteran or haven't picked up a spray can since high school, our artists tailor the training to your skill level. We focus on the 'can control' basics first, ensuring you feel confident and capable before we move on to more complex mural scaffolding and design techniques. It's all about building your personal toolkit!

What safety gear is provided and taught during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority, especially when you're taking these skills back to a classroom. We provide high-quality respirators, gloves, and overalls. During the training, we'll teach you exactly how to set up a safe 'splatter zone' in your school, how to manage fumes, and the best practices for supervising students with aerosol cans to ensure every session is 100% accident-free.

Can these techniques be adapted for indoor school environments?

Absolutely! While we love the raw energy of outdoor walls, we know Sydney schools have different facilities. We can train you on using water-based, low-odour spray paints that are perfect for indoor use or well-ventilated courtyards. We'll also show you how to use large-scale boards or canvases if you don't have a permanent wall available for your students to paint on.

How long does a typical professional development session last?

The Graffiti-teacher training usually runs between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a bit of theory on street art history, a solid hour of hands-on practice with the cans, and a final wrap-up on how to structure a curriculum-aligned lesson plan. We can also customise the duration if you have a specific staff development day schedule to meet in Sydney.

Will you teach me how to manage a large group of students?

We believe in 'learning by doing.' We'll guide you through the process of setting a 'creative brief' for your kids, managing the distribution of paint, and how to help students who might experience 'blank canvas' anxiety. You'll leave with a clear, step-by-step roadmap on how to lead a class from the first sketch to the final highlight without the chaos.

Is there an upfront payment required for the booking?

Not at all! One of the best parts of our service is that we are flexible. You don't have to pay a cent upfront. We believe in the quality of our Sydney artist educators, so you only pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% stoked with the results. We want your focus to be on the art, not the paperwork.

Do you provide any resources I can take back to my school?

Yes, we love helping teachers build a long-term street art program. After your session, you'll have access to our team for follow-up questions. We also recommend checking out our online Tag Creator and Workshop Quiz tools to help keep your students engaged and help you plan future projects. We're your long-term partners in Sydney's vibrant street art community!

Local culture

Sydney has a legendary street art scene, from the famous legal walls of Marrickville and Newtown to the hidden laneways of the CBD. Our training taps into this local heritage, showing you how to draw inspiration from the murals that line our city's streets. We don't just teach you how to paint; we teach you the 'Sydney Style'—a mix of old-school funk and modern illustrative techniques.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Inner West Council was one of the first in Australia to actively fund street art programs to combat illegal tagging? It's now a world-renowned hub for muralism!
