How it works

  1. Intro and safety: We kick things off with a quick briefing on how to use the spray cans safely and a look at the gear you'll be wearing.
  2. The 3D secret: Our artists explain the 'Anamorphosis' technique—the magic trick behind making flat drawings look like they are popping off the wall.
  3. Sketching the depth: You'll start by sketching your design, focusing on the vanishing points that create that 3D perspective.
  4. Mastering the can: Practice basic spray techniques like 'fading' and 'outlining' on a practice surface before starting your main piece.
  5. Filling the layers: Apply your base colours, learning how to layer paint to build up the 'body' of your 3D object.
  6. Shadows and highlights: This is where the magic happens! We'll show you exactly where to place dark shadows and bright highlights to create depth.
  7. The final outlines: Sharpen up your edges with a steady hand to make your 3D graffiti look crisp and professional.
  8. The photo op: Find the 'sweet spot' angle where the 3D effect works best and capture the perfect photo of your creation!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop?

You don't need any prior drawing or painting skills to enjoy our 3D street art workshop in Athens! Our professional artists guide you through every stage, from basic lines to the clever shading techniques that create the illusion of depth. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before, yet they leave with a finished piece of art they are genuinely proud of. Just bring your enthusiasm and we'll handle the rest!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective suits, gloves, and masks to keep you clean and safe, street art can sometimes be a bit messy! Avoid wearing your favourite designer shoes or expensive jewellery. Once you're suited up in our gear, you'll be ready to dive into the world of 3D graffiti without worrying about your outfit.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard 3D street art workshops in Athens typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the safety briefing, learn the essential spray-can techniques, sketch out your 3D design, and complete the final painting with all the necessary shadows and highlights. For larger groups or corporate events, we can adapt the timing to fit your specific schedule. It’s the perfect duration for a creative break!

Is the spray paint safe for everyone to use?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with professional-grade protective masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray cans are selected for quality, and our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure a safe environment for everyone. We usually host our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art spaces in Athens to ensure you can breathe easily while you create your masterpiece.

Are there any age restrictions for the workshop?

For our standard workshops, we generally welcome participants from age 6 and up. 3D street art is a fantastic way for children to develop spatial awareness and creativity. We use lighter cans and provide extra supervision for younger artists. Whether it's a family outing, a school trip, or a kids' party, we make sure the difficulty level is perfectly matched to the age and skill of the group.

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! In Athens, we have access to several covered outdoor locations and indoor spaces where we can move the workshop if the weather turns grey. If the forecast looks particularly bad, we will contact you in advance to discuss moving the location or rescheduling. We always have backup artists ready to go, so your creative experience is in safe, professional hands regardless of the weather.

Do I get to keep the artwork I create?

Yes, for most of our standard workshops, you will be creating your 3D art on a large canvas or a special board. This means you can take your unique creation home with you to show off to friends and family! For larger group murals or specific wall projects, the art might stay on-site, but we'll always make sure you have plenty of photos and videos of your work. It's the ultimate Athens souvenir!
