How it works

  1. Introduction to urban tools: We start by getting you comfortable with the spray cans, nozzles (caps), and safety equipment.
  2. Mastering the lines: Learn the 'muscle memory' required for clean lines, dots, and fills—the building blocks of any great piece.
  3. Colour theory and fading: Discover how to blend colours directly on the wall to create stunning gradients and 3D effects.
  4. Lettering and style: Dive into the world of typography, from 'bubbles' to 'block' letters, helping you develop your own 'tag' or style.
  5. Curriculum integration: We discuss how to translate these skills into lesson plans that meet educational standards while staying 'cool'.
  6. Safety and setup: A crucial step where we show you how to manage a class of students with spray cans without the chaos.
  7. The final masterpiece: Apply your new skills to a collaborative mural or an individual canvas as a final practical assessment.
  8. Feedback and resources: Wrap up with a Q&A session and receive digital resources to help you lead your first workshop back at school.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous experience with spray paint to join?

No prior experience is necessary! Our training is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident graffiti instructor. We cover everything from basic can control and safety to advanced layering techniques and lesson planning. Our goal is to give you the skills and the confidence to share this vibrant art form with your students, regardless of your current artistic background. Let us handle the technical side while you bring the pedagogical passion!

Is graffiti painting safe for a school environment?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. During the training, we teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, including proper ventilation, surface protection, and 'spray zone' management. We also use low-pressure cans that are easier to control, making the environment much safer and more manageable for school settings or youth clubs.

What are the costs for a teacher training workshop?

Professional development should be accessible. Our training sessions in Ljubljana typically range from €20 to €45 per person, depending on the number of teachers attending and the depth of the curriculum chosen. This includes all materials, protective gear, and your own finished canvas or mural project. We recommend getting in touch for a custom quote to find the best fit for your school's professional development budget!

How long does the training session last?

Standard professional development sessions usually last between 2 and 4 hours. However, we can also offer full-day intensive masterclasses if you want to dive deeper into street art history and complex mural techniques. We are flexible and can work around your school timetable or inset day schedule to ensure you get the most out of the experience without feeling rushed.

Can we create individual artworks to take back to our school?

Absolutely! While we often work on large communal murals to promote teamwork, we can also provide individual canvases. This allows every teacher to take home their own masterpiece to display in the classroom or staff room. It’s a great way to remember the techniques you’ve learned and serves as an inspiring example for your pupils when you start your own graffiti projects at school.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

Ljubljana is a city of seasons! If the weather isn't playing ball, we have several partner indoor locations and 'legal' indoor walls where we can host the training safely. Our spray paints are low-odour, and with our ventilation protocols, indoor sessions are just as fun and productive as outdoor ones. We always have a backup artist and a backup plan ready so your training isn't cancelled.

Can you tailor the training to a specific school mural project?

We love a challenge! If you have a specific project in mind—like a school courtyard mural or a specific curriculum link to urban geography or modern history—just let us know. We can tailor the training to focus on the specific skills you need to achieve your school's goals. Our artists are adaptable and eager to help you bring your specific vision to life.
