How it works

  1. Introduction & Theory: We start with a brief history of street art and how it has evolved from a subculture into a respected global art form.
  2. Gear Mastery: Learn the technical side of the tools, from different spray can pressures to the specific functions of various 'caps' or nozzles.
  3. Safety First: Complete a comprehensive walkthrough of safety gear, ventilation requirements, and group management techniques for students.
  4. Basic Techniques: Get hands-on with lines, dots, and fills. We guide you through the 'muscle memory' needed to control the spray can smoothly.
  5. Lettering & Style: Dive into 'piece' building—learning how to construct letters, 3D effects, and the iconic shadows that make graffiti pop.
  6. Stencil & Layering: Explore how to use stencils as a teaching tool for younger students or those with less motor control.
  7. Classroom Integration: We brainstorm how to link these skills to your existing curriculum, from history and math to social justice topics.
  8. The Collaborative Mural: Work together on a final large-scale piece to experience the teamwork dynamics your students will feel.
  9. Certification & Resources: Wrap up with a Q&A, receive your training certificate, and get access to our digital lesson plan templates.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the teacher training?

Absolutely no prior street art experience is needed! Our Chiang Mai teacher training is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident instructor. We focus on the 'train the trainer' model, teaching you the foundational techniques of spray painting while simultaneously showing you how to demonstrate these skills safely to students of different age groups.

What safety protocols will I learn for my classroom?

Safety is our number one priority. We cover everything from the correct use of high-quality respiratory masks and gloves to managing wind direction and outdoor workspace layouts. You will learn how to supervise a group of 20+ students while they use spray cans, ensuring every child or adult follows the safety protocols while having the time of their lives.

Are materials included in the training cost?

Everything is included in the package! We provide premium low-pressure spray cans (which are easier for beginners to control), various nozzles (caps), protective clothing, masks, and the practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school or studio in Chiang Mai or beyond.

How long does the training session last?

A standard professional development session usually lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. However, we offer extended full-day intensives for those looking for a deeper dive into muralism and curriculum integration. We are flexible and can work around your school’s professional development (PD) schedule to make it as convenient as possible for your faculty.

Can you come to our school for the training?

We can host the training at our dedicated creative spots in Chiang Mai, or we can bring the entire setup to your school or institution! If your school has a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated space, we’ll bring the 'vandal-proof' temporary boards and all the gear needed to transform your campus into a temporary street art studio.

Will we learn about the legal side of graffiti?

While we focus on the artistic and technical side, we also touch on the history of street art and the legalities of public art. You will learn how to teach students the difference between illegal tagging and community-sanctioned mural art, helping them respect public spaces while finding a creative outlet for their energy.
