Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely not! Our 3D street art workshops in Amsterdam are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with simple shapes and finishing with mind-bending optical illusions. We focus on making the process fun and accessible, so you will be amazed at what you can create with just a bit of guidance and a spray can.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need to create a masterpiece. This includes a wide range of premium spray paint colours, protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality masks to keep you clean and safe. We also provide the canvases or boards used for the 3D effects. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on and bring your creative energy!
How long does a typical workshop last?
Our standard 3D street art sessions usually last between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theory of perspective, practice some basic transitions, and complete a full 3D piece. If you are looking for something more intensive for a corporate event or a deeper dive into technique, we can easily extend the duration to suit your group's needs.
Is the workshop safe for children?
Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary PPE, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spots. Our artists are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that everyone follows the correct techniques to prevent accidents while having the maximum amount of fun.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Amsterdam weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered! We have access to several indoor locations across the city where we can host the workshop regardless of the rain. If you have booked an outdoor session and the weather looks bleak, we can usually pivot to a covered area or reschedule. We always have backup plans to ensure your creativity isn't dampened!
Can you host the workshop at our own location?
Yes, we love bringing the 3D art experience to you! While we have fantastic locations in Amsterdam, we can also travel to your office, school, or event space. We just need a suitable ventilated area and permission to paint (or we can bring mobile graffiti walls). We regularly travel to nearby cities like Utrecht or Rotterdam to host workshops for larger groups.
How is 3D street art different from regular graffiti?
While we love the raw energy of traditional graffiti, 3D street art (or anamorphic art) is all about perspective and depth. We teach you how to use shadows, highlights, and specific angles to make your art 'pop' off the surface. It is a more technical but incredibly rewarding style that challenges how you see space, making it perfect for those who want a unique creative challenge.
