Please note that the final cost depends on the number of participants, the location of the workshop (whether at your school or our site), and any specific material requirements you might have.

Frequently asked questions

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

Absolutely! Our graffiti training for art teachers is designed for all skill levels. Most participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through the basics of pressure control, nozzle types, and safety, ensuring you feel confident and capable by the end of the session. It is all about learning the process so you can share it with your students.

Is the spray paint safe to use in a school environment?

We take health and safety very seriously, especially in an educational context. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paint and provide all necessary protective equipment, including professional masks and gloves. Part of the training includes a full health and safety briefing that you can replicate in your own classroom, ensuring you know exactly how to manage a safe creative environment for your pupils.

Why should I bring street art into my Tallinn classroom?

Tallinn is famous for its vibrant street art, particularly in areas like Telliskivi. Moving your art lessons outside can revitalise student engagement and provide a fresh perspective on public space. We show you how to organise legal outdoor mural projects, manage local permits, and use the urban landscape as a primary teaching resource, making your curriculum more dynamic and culturally relevant.

How long does a typical professional development session last?

Our standard professional development sessions usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a deep dive into both the practical spray-painting techniques and the pedagogical discussions on how to integrate these skills into your existing curriculum. If you have a larger group or specific project goals, we can extend the duration to suit your school's schedule.

What materials are included in the training package?

Everything is included! We provide the spray cans, various nozzles (caps), protective gear, and surfaces to practice on. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—even with the protective gear, accidents happen!

Are there any digital tools to help me teach graffiti?

Yes, we provide several interactive digital tools to help you plan. Our Tag Creator lets you and your students experiment with styles online before painting. We also offer a Workshop Quiz to help you determine which graffiti style suits your specific student age group, and a Cost Calculator to help you budget for future school-wide art projects.

How does the payment process work for Estonian schools?

We understand that school budgets and teacher schedules can be complex. That is why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your training session to secure the date, and payment is only handled after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the professional development you have received before any funds are transferred.

Can you provide training at my school outside of Tallinn?

Definitely. While our main training hub is in Tallinn, our team of artists travels throughout Estonia. Whether you are based in Tartu, Narva, or Pärnu, we can bring the equipment and expertise directly to your school campus. This makes professional development accessible for entire departments without the need for extensive travel, keeping things simple and efficient for your team.
