Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all artistic backgrounds. Whether you are a dedicated art teacher or a classroom teacher looking for new engagement strategies, our professional artists guide you through the basics. We focus on teaching you the 'grammar' of graffiti so you can confidently pass those skills on to your students in a safe, structured environment.

How do you handle health and safety in a school setting?

We take safety very seriously. Our training covers the importance of high-quality respirators, proper ventilation, and skin protection. We also teach you how to set up a 'safe zone' for students, ensuring that the creative process remains healthy and compliant with school safety regulations. You'll leave feeling confident about managing a spray-can-wielding class safely.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Standard professional development sessions in Uppsala typically last between 2 and 4 hours. However, we can also offer full-day intensives if you want to dive deeper into mural planning or street art history. We are flexible and can work around your school’s inset day schedule or after-school faculty meetings to make it as convenient as possible.

Are the workshops held on actual walls or canvases?

Yes, they are! We provide high-quality canvases or mobile graffiti walls for the training. If your school has a specific wall they’d like to rejuvenate, we can discuss permanent mural options too. The techniques you learn on our portable boards are perfectly transferable to larger-scale projects, giving you the versatility to teach graffiti anywhere.

Can this training help with my curriculum planning?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for teaching colour theory, typography, social history, and even chemistry (paint reactions!). We provide you with a framework to link street art to the national curriculum, helping students engage with contemporary culture while hitting key learning objectives. It’s a fantastic way to reach 'disengaged' learners through a medium they actually find 'cool'.

What materials are included in the training package?

We provide everything! Your session includes premium low-pressure spray cans (easier to control), various nozzles (caps), protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks. We also provide the practice surfaces and all the cleaning supplies. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'art' on!

Is there an upfront payment required for schools?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That’s why we don't require any payment until the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the professional development your staff received before any funds leave the school account. It’s our guarantee of quality and stress-free planning for Uppsala educators.

Step by step

Introduction to street culture: We start with a brief history of graffiti, moving from its roots to its place in modern galleries, giving you the context needed for the classroom.
Gear and safety briefing: Learn about different types of spray paint, nozzle variations (caps), and the essential health and safety protocols for students.
Basic can control: Master the fundamental movements—lines, dots, and fades—to understand how the medium behaves differently from a brush.
Lettering and style: Our artists teach you how to construct 'pieces', from simple tags to 3D block lettering, which you can easily demonstrate to your pupils.
Layering techniques: Understand the 'background-to-foreground' workflow that is unique to spray painting and muralism.
Stencil and tape methods: Explore alternative street art techniques that are perfect for younger students or those with less steady hands.
Curriculum integration: A collaborative discussion on how to turn these new skills into actionable lesson plans that meet educational standards.
Final mural production: Put it all together by co-creating a collaborative piece, experiencing the same satisfaction your students will feel.
Cleanup and maintenance: Learn the best practices for storing materials and keeping your art department tidy after a spray session.

Local culture

Uppsala is a city of layers—from the ancient mounds of Gamla Uppsala to the modern student nations. While the city's architecture is iconic, there is a growing appreciation for the urban textures found in spots like Ekebybruk and the various legal graffiti walls popping up around the region. Street art here serves as a bridge between the traditional and the now.

Local teachers in Uppsala are increasingly looking for ways to engage a diverse student body, and graffiti is the universal language of the youth. By bringing these skills to your school, you aren't just teaching art; you're acknowledging the culture your students live and breathe every day. ✨

Fun fact: Did you know that Uppsala is home to some of Sweden's most talented underground stencil artists? The city's narrow alleys often hide small, creative gems that inspire local students to pick up a can!
