Do I need to be a professional artist to Join?

No prior experience with spray paint is necessary! Our Waterford training is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident street art educator. We start with the absolute basics of can control and safety before moving into advanced mural techniques. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every flick of the wrist.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes premium low-pressure spray paint cans, a variety of nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective coveralls, gloves, and high-quality respirators. We also provide large-scale practice surfaces. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic dust' on!

How do you handle health and safety?

Safety is our number one priority, especially in an educational setting. We use low-VOC paints and provide full PPE, including FFP3 masks. During the training, we dedicate a specific module to teaching you how to manage a safe classroom environment, including proper ventilation, fire safety, and student supervision while using aerosol products.

Will I receive a certification after the training?

Absolutely. Upon completion of the training, you will receive a Graffitifun Certificate of Participation. This document outlines the technical skills and safety protocols you have mastered, making it a fantastic addition to your professional teaching portfolio or CPD record for your school or youth centre in Waterford.

How long does the training session last?

Our standard teacher training sessions in Waterford typically last between 2.5 and 4 hours. This allows enough time for the theoretical background, technical practice, and a collaborative mural project. We can also offer extended full-day intensives or multi-day residencies if your school or organisation wants to dive deeper into curriculum integration.

What is your payment policy?

We want you to feel confident before you spend a penny. You don't have to pay anything upfront when booking your Waterford training. We send the invoice after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience and the skills you've gained. It’s all about trust and high-quality creative education!
