  2. Safety protocol: You'll learn how to gear up correctly and set up a safe "spray zone" for your future students.
  3. Mastering the 'Can': Practice nozzle control, distance, and hand speed to create clean lines and avoid the dreaded 'drip'.
  4. Lettering and structure: Learn the anatomy of graffiti letters, from simple tags to complex 3D "throw-ups".
  5. Colour theory and blending: Discover how to create stunning gradients and "fades" using professional spray techniques.
  6. Stencil and detail work: Explore alternative street art methods like stencilling to help less confident students achieve great results.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the training?

No prior experience with spray paint is required! Our Toulouse workshop is designed specifically for licensed teachers and art educators of all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving into complex layering and mural design. By the end of the session, you'll feel confident enough to demonstrate these techniques to your own students in a classroom setting.

What safety equipment is provided and taught?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, nitrile gloves, and protective overalls. We also teach you how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated workspace for your students, including eco-friendly paint options and proper disposal of canisters. You will leave the workshop with a comprehensive safety checklist to use during your own school art projects.

Can I use this training for my professional development (CPD) hours?

Absolutely! This professional development course is specifically designed to meet curriculum standards for secondary and higher education. We provide a certificate of completion and a digital resource pack that includes lesson plans, historical context, and technical guides. These materials are perfect for justifying the training to your department head or including in your professional teaching portfolio. High-fives all round!

How long does the training session last?

Standard teacher training sessions in Toulouse typically run between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a deep dive into street art history, a demonstration of technical skills, and plenty of hands-on practice on our legal graffiti walls. If you have a larger faculty group, we can extend the session to include collaborative mural planning or specific curriculum integration brainstorming.

Is the training mostly theoretical or hands-on?

We believe in learning by doing. While we cover the essential theory and history of the movement, about 80% of the workshop is hands-on. You will be using professional-grade spray cans on large-scale surfaces. We find that teachers learn best when they can physically experience the medium, troubleshoot common beginner mistakes (like drips!), and see the immediate impact of different caps and techniques.

Will you help me find the right materials for my classroom?

We share all our secrets! We provide a list of recommended local and online suppliers where you can purchase high-quality, budget-friendly spray paint and safety gear in France. We also offer advice on which 'caps' are best for student use and how to manage a classroom kit on a budget. You won't just learn how to paint; you'll learn how to manage the logistics.

Where in Toulouse do the workshops take place?

While 'The Pink City' has many beautiful walls, we conduct our workshops at designated legal street art zones or private locations. This ensures a relaxed environment where we can focus on teaching without any legal worries. If your school has a specific wall they want to transform, we can also arrange for the training to happen on-site at your campus in Toulouse!
