How it works
- Introduction & concept: Meet your local Bristol artist and learn the secrets behind anamorphic art—the trick that makes flat images look three-dimensional.
- Safety briefing: We’ll get you suited up in your overalls, masks, and gloves while explaining how to use the spray cans safely and effectively.
- Sketching the perspective: Use chalk to map out your "vanishing points." This is the foundation that ensures your 3D art looks real from a specific angle.
- Can control practice: Get a feel for the pressure and distance. You'll practice creating thin lines, fat fills, and soft gradients on a practice board.
- The outline: Start bringing your 3D design to life on the main wall or canvas, focusing on the distorted shapes that create the illusion.
- Layering & shading: This is where the magic happens! You'll apply shadows and highlights to give your graffiti volume and "weight."
- The "Cut-out" effect: Learn how to use background colours to make your central piece look like it's floating or popping out of the wall.
- Final touches: Add "highlights" and sharp outlines to make the details crisp and professional.
- The photo op: Find the "sweet spot" with your camera lens to capture your 3D masterpiece in all its glory before heading home.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?
Absolutely not! Our Bristol 3D street art workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of perspective and spray control step-by-step. Most of our guests haven't picked up a spray can since school (if ever!), and they always leave amazed by the incredible depth and realism they manage to achieve by the end of the session.
Is it messy? What should I wear to the workshop?
Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities. We provide high-quality ffp3 masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep your clothes paint-free. Since we are working with professional spray cans, we always recommend wearing 'sensible' shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints to ensure a comfortable breathing environment for all participants during the workshop.
How long does the graffiti workshop usually last?
A standard 3D street art session in Bristol typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the essential theory of anamorphic art, practice your can control, and complete a full-scale masterpiece. If you are planning a corporate event or a larger festival activation, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your specific schedule and requirements.
Where in Bristol do the workshops take place?
The beauty of 3D street art is its versatility! We can host workshops at various iconic Bristol street art spots, or we can bring the experience directly to your office, school, or event venue. We use mobile "graffiti walls" or large canvases if a permanent wall isn't available. Just let us know your preferred location in Bristol, and we will handle the logistical setup to make it happen.
Is there an age limit for the 3D graffiti experience?
Our workshops are generally suitable for ages 6 and up. For younger children, we focus more on the fun of spraying and color, while for teens and adults, we dive deeper into the technical aspects of 3D perspective and shading. It’s a fantastic activity for multi-generational family outings, school trips, or legendary kids' birthday parties in the heart of the West Country.
What happens if I need to cancel or the artist is sick?
We believe in total peace of mind for our clients. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and never require upfront payments for standard bookings. Additionally, we have a large network of backup artists across the UK. In the rare event that your lead artist is unwell, we always have a professional standby ready to step in, so your event is never cancelled.
What is included in the price of the workshop?
We provide everything you need to become the next local legend! This includes a wide range of professional spray paint colours, specialized nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and the canvases or wall space. We also provide the professional 3D sketches and templates that help you understand how to make your art 'pop' off the wall. You just need to bring your enthusiasm!
