  3. Foundational Techniques: Get hands-on with 'can control'—mastering lines, dots, and smooth fills without the dreaded drips.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior graffiti experience to join this training?

Absolutely! Our Maribor art teacher training is designed for all skill levels. Most participants have never held a professional spray can before. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving into advanced teaching methods. You'll leave feeling confident enough to lead your own classroom session. Our goal is to demystify street art so you can share it with others.

What safety equipment is provided and what will I learn about safety?

Safety is our top priority, especially when you're preparing to work with students. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, nitrile gloves, and protective suits. During the training, we'll teach you how to set up a safe outdoor 'spray zone,' how to manage fumes, and how to properly dispose of materials. You will learn the exact health and safety protocols required to run a professional school workshop in Slovenia.

How long does the teacher training session last?

A standard professional development session in Maribor typically lasts between 2 and 3.5 hours. This intensive format covers the history of the movement, practical technique, and pedagogical application. If you have a larger group of teachers from the same school or district, we can customise the duration to fit your professional development day schedule perfectly. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy experience!

What kind of hands-on practice is included in the curriculum?

We believe in a 'learn by doing' approach. You won't just be watching! Your training includes a hands-on session where you'll create your own large-scale piece on a professional wall or canvas. We also provide 'teaching templates' and lesson plan ideas that you can take directly back to your classroom. You'll get to experiment with different techniques like stenciling, fading, and outlining to understand the student experience.

What should I wear and bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes! Since we usually work outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces near the Drava River or Pekarna, please check the weather forecast. Most importantly, bring an open mind and your creative energy—we provide everything else!

Is graffiti legal in Maribor, and how do we teach this to students?

Maribor is known for its vibrant cultural scene, and the city is generally supportive of urban art when done legally. During the training, we discuss the legalities of street art versus vandalism. We'll show you how to find legal walls in Maribor and how to guide your students towards positive, community-based art projects. It’s an essential part of the training to ensure your students respect public property.
