Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have prior graffiti experience to join?

No prior experience is necessary! Our Krakow artist-mentors designed this training to take you from 'never held a spray can' to 'confident instructor' in a single session. We focus on the fundamental techniques and safety protocols first, ensuring you feel comfortable with the medium before we dive into the more advanced artistic elements and classroom management strategies.

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

Absolutely. We provide a complete health and safety briefing that you can replicate in your own classroom. This includes information on low-VOC spray paints, proper mask usage, ventilation requirements, and skin protection. We make sure you’re fully equipped with the knowledge to run a workshop that is as safe as it is exciting for your students.

What should I wear to the teacher training session?

We suggest wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, aerosol mist has a way of finding its way onto laces! We’ll provide everything else—the paint, the caps, the masks, and the surface—to ensure you have a seamless experience.

How long does the professional development session last?

Our training sessions in Krakow typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the movement, master the technical skills, and discuss how to integrate these lessons into your specific curriculum. It’s a fast-paced but thorough deep-dive designed to respect your busy schedule while providing maximum value.

Can I apply these skills to different age groups?

Our training is highly versatile. Whether you are leading a primary school art class, a youth club, or a secondary school exam group, the skills are transferable. During the session, we’ll brainstorm ways to adapt the complexity of the graffiti tasks to suit the age and ability level of your specific student demographic.

What are the payment terms and booking guarantees?

We believe in your mission to inspire, so we make it easy. There is no upfront payment required to book your training session in Krakow. You can settle the balance after the workshop is complete and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your training will never be cancelled.
