Do I need to be an artist to join the teacher training?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Tartu training is specifically designed for educators regardless of their artistic background. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving into complex pieces. The goal is to give you the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions. Our instructors are patient and will guide you through every spray, ensuring you leave with both skills and a finished masterpiece.

Is graffiti art training safe for classroom application?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respirators, protective gloves, and overalls to ensure a clean and safe environment. During the professional development session, we also cover the safety protocols you’ll need to implement when working with students, such as proper ventilation, age-appropriate spray techniques, and the use of water-based sprays if you prefer to work indoors back at your school or community centre.

How long does the training session last?

The workshop usually takes between 2 to 3 hours. During this time, we cover the history of street art, provide a hands-on masterclass where you create your own piece, and finish with a pedagogical wrap-up on how to structure a lesson. We find this timeframe is perfect for absorbing the new skills without feeling rushed, allowing plenty of time for Q&A regarding your specific educational environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We supply everything you need! This includes professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, different nozzles (caps) for various line widths, protective gear, and large canvases or designated wall space. For the teacher-specific portion, we also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take home. Just wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

Can you host the training at my school or community centre?

Yes, we can! While we have fantastic locations in Tartu and Tallinn, we are fully mobile. We can bring the entire street art studio to your school, college, or community centre anywhere in Estonia. This is a great option if you have a staff training day and want to involve your whole department without the travel. Just let us know your location when you request a quote.

What are the benefits of teaching graffiti in schools?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for social-emotional learning, fine motor skill development, and engagement with 'at-risk' youth. It encourages collaboration, boosts confidence, and provides a contemporary medium that students actually want to engage with. By integrating street art into your curriculum, you’re speaking a visual language that resonates with modern teenagers, making art class the highlight of their week!

Local culture

Tartu isn't just about the "Kissing Students" fountain and historic university buildings; it’s a city with a hidden, edgy soul. From the colourful murals in the Aparaaditehas creative district to the stencils tucked away in the Soup Town (Supilinn) alleys, Tartu has a sophisticated relationship with street art. Our training taps into this local vibe, showing you how the city's unique "Stencibility" spirit can be mirrored in your teaching.

Fun Fact: Tartu is home to "Stencibility," one of the most unique street art festivals in Europe, which promotes a "free city" philosophy. We’ll teach you how to bring that same spirit of creative freedom back to your students! 🇪🇪 💪

Pricing

Our teacher training sessions are designed to be affordable and accessible for educational institutions. Prices typically range from €20 to €40 per person, depending on the size of your group and the specific materials required.

The best part? No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is completed to your satisfaction. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your training will never be cancelled last minute!
