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

Absolutely! No prior street art experience is required for our teacher training in Thika. We start with the basics of spray can handling and safety before moving into advanced techniques. Our goal is to give you the confidence to lead a classroom, regardless of your current artistic skill level. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve in just one session!

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

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the training, we'll teach you how to set up a safe 'spray zone' in a school environment, including proper ventilation, distance rules, and eco-friendly paint options. You'll leave the workshop feeling fully equipped to manage a safe and fun creative environment for your students.

How can I implement graffiti art if my school has a limited budget?

We understand that school budgets can be tight! Our professional development sessions include a specific module on 'Graffiti on a Budget'. We'll show you how to source affordable materials in Kenya, how to make paint last longer, and creative ways to find 'legal walls' or DIY surfaces so your art program can thrive without breaking the bank.

Can the training be customised for specific age groups?

We believe in flexibility. While we have a tried-and-tested curriculum, we love to tailor our training to meet your specific curriculum goals. Whether you want to focus on historical street art movements, the physics of aerosols, or community-based mural projects, just let our artists know! We're here to help you make your art department the most popular one in Thika.

How long does the professional development session last?

Our standard teacher training sessions usually last between 2 and 4 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for learning the theory, mastering the physical techniques, and completing a collaborative mural. However, we also offer full-day intensive sessions if you want to dive deeper into complex stencil work and large-scale project management. We work around your school timetable!

Will teaching graffiti encourage students to spray on school walls?

Actually, it’s quite the opposite! We teach 'Artful Resilience.' By giving students a legitimate, high-skill outlet for their creativity, they develop a deeper respect for public spaces and the effort it takes to create quality art. Many schools find that introducing a formal graffiti program actually reduces 'tagging' on school property as students learn the difference between vandalism and professional street art.

What is the payment process for schools in Thika?

We make things as easy as possible for busy educators. You don't need to pay anything upfront to book your spot. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the stress out of the administrative process, allowing you to focus on the creativity!
