Do I need to have prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely no prior experience is required! Our professional artists specialize in breaking down complex techniques into manageable, teachable steps. We start with the basics of can control and safety, ensuring you feel confident before we move into mural design. Our goal is to empower you with new skills that you can immediately translate to your own classroom environment, regardless of your current artistic background.

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

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary personal protective equipment, including masks and gloves. During the training, we facilitate a comprehensive safety briefing that you can replicate with your students. We’ll teach you about proper ventilation, skin protection, and how to manage a group of students in an outdoor or well-ventilated indoor setting safely and professionally.

What materials are included in the teacher training package?

We provide a complete toolkit! This includes a wide variety of professional-grade spray cans, specialized nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and practice surfaces. You’ll also receive digital resources and a curriculum outline to help you integrate these lessons into your school’s art program. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on!

Is graffiti art suitable for all grade levels?

The training is highly versatile and can be adapted for elementary, middle, and high school levels. For younger students, we focus on 'Graffiti Lite' concepts like tagging styles and stencil work. For older students, we dive into complex pieces, color theory, and the history of the movement. We’ll show you how to scale the difficulty and safety protocols based on the age group you teach.

Can you host the professional development session at our school?

Yes, we are very flexible! While we have amazing partner locations in Winnipeg, we can also come to your school. This is a great way to assess your specific facility for future student workshops. If we come to you, we just need a legal outdoor wall or a well-ventilated area. We handle all the setup and cleaning, making it a stress-free experience for your administration.

What happens if it rains on our scheduled training day?

Winnipeg weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If we are working outdoors and the weather doesn't cooperate, we either move to a covered/indoor ventilated area or reschedule at no extra cost. We also have a roster of backup artists to ensure that your scheduled professional development day goes off without a hitch, regardless of minor logistical hiccups.

How do I book a session and what are the payment terms?

Booking is easy and transparent. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, then reach out via our contact form. We don't require upfront payments; you can pay after the workshop is completed. Once we settle on a date and time that fits your school's PD schedule, we’ll send over a confirmation and everything you need to prepare.
