Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have prior graffiti experience to join?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed. Our workshop is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident instructor. We focus on the fundamental techniques of spray painting, can control, and safety protocols. The goal is to give you the skills and the creative confidence to share this vibrant art form with your students, regardless of your current artistic background.

What materials are included in the teacher training?

We provide everything you need for the session. This includes high-quality spray cans in a variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the practice surfaces and all necessary teaching resources. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on, and an open mind ready to learn.

Can the training be held at my school or venue?

Yes, we can definitely come to you! While we have fantastic locations in Burgas, we are fully mobile. We can host the training at your school, community centre, or any suitable outdoor space that meets safety requirements. This is often a great way for departments to learn together in their own environment. We bring all the gear; you just provide the space and the enthusiasm.

Is the workshop safe for teachers and students?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure everyone breathes clean air. Our instructors are professionals who follow strict safety protocols regarding ventilation and distance. We also teach you how to set up a safe graffiti zone for your own future classes, covering everything from surface prep to student supervision.

What happens if the trainer is unable to make it?

We understand that school schedules can be unpredictable. To ensure your professional development day goes ahead, we have a roster of backup artists available. In the unlikely event that your lead trainer is unwell, a qualified colleague will step in. This guarantee ensures that your booking is secure and your staff's time is respected, preventing any last-minute cancellations.

Do you provide any follow-up support after the training?

Following the training, you will receive a digital toolkit containing lesson plan ideas, safety checklists, and a guide to sourcing materials. You also have the peace of mind knowing you can contact us for advice as you plan your first school project. We want to see graffiti thrive in Bulgarian schools, so we are always happy to support our newly trained educators.
