How it works

  1. Introduction to Urban History: We kick off by exploring the evolution of graffiti from the streets of New York to the vibrant walls of Fiji.
  2. Gear Mastery: Learn about different spray can brands, pressures, and the 'anatomy' of various caps (nozzles) for different effects.
  3. Safety First: A deep dive into respiratory protection, skin safety, and setting up a secure workshop environment for children.
  4. Basic Techniques: Master the 'can-control' basics: lines, dots, fades, and how to avoid those pesky drips.
  5. The Art of Lettering: Move from simple 'tags' to 'throw-ups' and 'pieces', understanding the architectural flow of graffiti letters.
  6. Classroom Management: We share tips on how to distribute materials and keep a group of students focused and safe during the creative process.
  7. Collaborative Mural: Put your skills to the test by working on a joint piece, simulating a real-world school art project.
  8. Cleanup and Maintenance: Learn the messy (but essential) part—how to clean caps and store cans so they last for years.
  9. Curriculum Integration: We brainstorm how to link street art to your existing syllabus, from history to social studies.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! Our graffiti teacher training in Lautoka is designed for all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics of spray can control, nozzle types, and safety. Most of our participants have never picked up a spray can before, but by the end of the session, they feel confident enough to lead a class of students through their first mural project. It is all about building your creative confidence!

How do you handle health and safety in a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-odour paints where possible and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. During the professional development session, we teach you how to set up a safe outdoor 'studio' at your school, how to manage paint storage, and how to ensure your students are following proper ventilation and safety protocols while staying creative.

Will I receive a certificate of completion?

Yes, we do! Every educator who completes our workshop in Fiji receives a certificate of completion. This documents your professional development hours and acknowledges your new skills in urban contemporary art instruction. It’s a great addition to your teaching portfolio and proves you have been coached by professional street artists on the technical and safety aspects of the medium.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wear-old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves and sneakers! Since Lautoka can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. We provide everything else, including cans, caps, boards, and masks, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm.

How long does the training session last?

The training sessions usually last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the depth of the curriculum you want to cover. We can also arrange full-day 'deep-dive' intensives if your school department wants to go from basic tagging to complex piece-building and mural planning. We are flexible and can work around your school's timetable or professional development days.

What makes this different from a standard art class?

Our workshop is unique because it blends technical street art skills with pedagogical techniques. We don't just teach you how to paint; we teach you how to manage a classroom full of excited teenagers with spray cans. You’ll learn lesson planning, history of the movement, and how to use graffiti as a tool for social-emotional learning and student engagement in the Fiji school system.
