Do I need any previous art experience to join the 3D workshop?
Absolutely! This 3D street art experience is designed specifically for beginners. Our professional local artists in Coimbra will guide you through the basics of perspective, shading, and spray can control. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they arrive, but they leave with a stunning piece of art and a massive smile. We provide all the tools and techniques you need to succeed.
What kind of materials do we use during the session?
While we mostly use professional-grade spray paint, we also use specialized chalk and markers for certain 3D floor effects. Everything is included in the price: high-quality paints, protective suits, gloves, masks, and the surface (canvas or boards) you'll be working on. We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes just in case, as being creative can sometimes get a little messy!
How long does the 3D street art workshop take?
Standard 3D workshops in Coimbra typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a short introduction to anamorphic art, a technique demonstration, and plenty of hands-on painting time to bring your illusion to life. If you have a specific time constraint for a corporate event or party, we can often adjust the schedule to fit your needs perfectly.
Is the workshop safe, and what protective gear is provided?
Your safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, as well as disposable overalls and gloves to keep your clothes clean. All workshops are led by experienced professionals who ensure the spray cans are used safely. We prefer working in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces to ensure the best environment for everyone involved.
Can we paint on a real street wall or a public space?
Yes, we love making Coimbra even more colourful! For larger groups, schools, or local festivals, we can arrange for the workshop to take place on a specific public wall or ground space (with all the necessary permits handled, of course). Painting a large-scale 3D mural together is an incredible team-building experience that leaves a lasting impression on the city's urban landscape.
What happens if it rains or I need to cancel?
We understand that plans can change. That's why we offer a very flexible booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront; you only pay after the workshop is completed to ensure you are 100% satisfied. If you need to reschedule or cancel due to weather or personal reasons, just let us know as soon as possible, and we'll find a solution.
