How it works

  1. The 3D Briefing: We start with a quick intro to the world of anamorphic art and how the '3D illusion' actually works.
  2. Design & Sketch: You'll grab some chalk and map out the blueprint of your design, focusing on those all-important vanishing points.
  3. Safety First: Suiting up! We provide your mask, gloves, and overalls so you stay fresh while the art stays funky.
  4. Outline & Trace: Use the spray cans to lay down the basic skeleton of your 3D optical illusion.
  5. The Art of Shading: This is where the magic happens. We'll teach you how to use shadows and highlights to create depth and 'lift' the art off the ground.
  6. Detailing: Add those fine lines, pops of colour, and unique Christchurch flair to make the piece truly yours.
  7. The Viral Shot: We'll show you exactly where to stand with your camera to capture that mind-bending 3D effect perfectly.
  8. Clean Up: We pack up all the gear and leave the site as we found it (unless it's a permanent mural, of course!).

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Nope! Our 3D street art workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists break down the complex geometry of 3D graffiti into easy, manageable steps. We focus on 'forced perspective' and shading techniques that make your work pop off the ground. Whether you think you can't draw a stick figure or you're a regular Picasso, you'll walk away with a piece of art that'll blow your mind.🎨

What happens if it rains during our Christchurch workshop?

Christchurch weather can be a bit 'four seasons in one day,' but we’ve got you covered. For our 3D workshops, we usually have backup indoor locations or we can set up under cover. We closely monitor the forecast and will coordinate with you to ensure your session goes ahead comfortably. Safety and a dry canvas are our priorities, so the fun never stops, rain or shine!☔

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard 3D street art experience usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theory of anamorphic art, practice some spray techniques, and then execute your large-scale 3D masterpiece. If you're looking for something more intensive or a quick taster session for a festival, we can definitely adjust the timing to suit your group's schedule. clock:

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes high-quality spray cans in a massive range of colours, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your 'Kiwi threads' clean. We also provide the surfaces (either pavement or large boards/canvases). All you need to bring is some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on and your best creative energy!✨

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We're super flexible! We can host workshops for small groups of friends (around 5-10 people) right up to large corporate teams or school groups of 100+. For very large groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. No matter the size of your crew, we make sure it’s an intimate, high-energy experience where everyone feels involved in the mural-making process.👥

Can we choose a specific theme or logo for our 3D art?

Absolutely! For events like brand activations or company team building, we can work with you to design a 3D piece that incorporates your logo or specific brand message. Our artists are pros at blending commercial needs with authentic street art style. It’s a fantastic way to create a 'gram-worthy' moment that features your brand in a unique, 3D perspective that people won't stop talking about.🚀
