Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a 3D street art workshop?
A 3D graffiti workshop is a specialized session where we teach you the secrets of anamorphic art. Unlike regular graffiti, we focus on depth, perspective, and 'shadow play' to make your artwork appear as if it is popping off the wall or sinking into the ground. It’s a mind-bending creative experience that combines technical drawing skills with the fun of using professional spray cans. You'll leave with a whole new perspective on street art!
Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely not! Whether you can barely draw a stick figure or you're a seasoned creative, our expert South African artists guide you every step of the way. We start with the basics of spray painting and then move into the specific geometry of 3D effects. Most people are completely shocked by what they manage to create by the end of the session. It’s all about having fun and trying something new.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need for a legendary day out. This includes high-quality spray cans in a massive range of colours, protective gear (overalls, gloves, and masks), and the canvases or wall space for your masterpiece. We also bring the inspiration, sketches, and professional guidance. You just need to bring your energy and some old clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!
Is the workshop safe for everyone?
Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray paint that is easier to control, and we provide all necessary PPE, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated spaces in Cape Town. Our artists are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring everyone has a blast while staying completely protected from fumes and paint splatters.
How long does a typical session last?
Our standard 3D street art workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the craft, practice basic can control, and dive deep into the 3D techniques required for your final piece. If you’re looking for something shorter for a festival or longer for a deep-dive masterclass, we can easily customise the duration to fit your schedule.
What types of groups usually book these workshops?
Our 3D workshops are super popular for a variety of events in the Mother City! We regularly host corporate team-building days, school art excursions, bachelor parties, and even brand activation events. Because 3D art is so visually striking and 'Instagrammable,' it's particularly perfect for groups looking for a unique activity that creates great photos and lasting memories. We can accommodate small private groups or large corporate crowds.
Where in Cape Town do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! While we have several 'go-to' creative spots around Cape Town, we can also bring the workshop to your location—be it your office car park, a school playground, or a private event venue. As long as there is enough space and ventilation, we can set up our mobile graffiti studio and bring the 3D magic to you anywhere in the Western Cape.
