How it works

  1. Initial consultation: We chat about your school's specific goals and what you want your staff to achieve.
  2. History and culture: We start with a brief deep-dive into the transition from 'vandalism' to global contemporary art.
  3. Gear 101: You'll learn about different spray paint brands, high vs. low pressure, and which nozzles (caps) do what.
  4. Basic techniques: Master the art of the 'tag' and 'throw-up' – the building blocks of lettering.
  5. Advanced effects: We teach you how to fade colours, create shadows, and add those sharp highlights that pop.
  6. Safety protocols: Detailed instruction on mask usage, ventilation, and managing a group of students with paint.
  7. Curriculum integration: We brainstorm how to link graffiti to history, maths, or social studies modules.
  8. The big mural: Your team works together on a collaborative wall to put all your new skills into practice.
  9. Feedback and wrap-up: A final Q&A session to ensure everyone feels confident to teach what they've learned.

Frequently asked questions

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

No prior experience with spray paint is required! Our professional development sessions are designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident instructor. We'll teach you the basics of can control, nozzle types, and safety protocols before moving on to advanced artistic techniques. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to lead your own classroom sessions effectively.

Is the training safe for a school environment?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. We also teach you how to set up a safe working environment for your students, including proper ventilation and distance protocols. You will learn the 'best practices' for using aerosol cans in an educational setting without compromising anyone's health or the school's property.

Are all the materials included in the price?

Absolutely! While the training is focused on professional development, we supply all the professional-grade spray paint, caps, and safety equipment you need. We even provide surfaces for you to practice on. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on and bring your creative energy.

How long does a professional development session last?

Our teacher training sessions typically last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the depth of the curriculum you choose. We offer intensive half-day workshops or more expanded full-day sessions. We are very flexible and can work around your school's scheduled 'inset' days or professional development hours to ensure it fits perfectly into your busy calendar.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Yes, participants who complete the training will receive a Graffitifun certificate of completion. This document outlines the skills you've mastered, from technical spray painting to street art history and classroom safety. It is a fantastic addition to your professional portfolio and proves your ability to lead modern, engaging art workshops for your students.

Can the training take place at our own school?

We are happy to come to your school or community centre if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area. Alternatively, we can host your team at one of our vibrant local partner spots in Florence. We pride ourselves on being flexible to ensure the training is as convenient and inspiring for your staff as possible.
