Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a professional artist to try 3D street art?
While having some artistic flair helps, it is absolutely not necessary! Our 3D street art workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists will break down the geometry and perspective into simple, easy-to-follow steps. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at how you can transform a flat surface into a mind-bending 3D masterpiece. It’s all about having fun and trying something new!
Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?
Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use spray paints and materials that meet safety standards, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We recommend wearing comfortable, old clothes and closed-toe shoes just in case a little bit of 'creative chaos' ends up on your footwear!
How long does a typical 3D graffiti workshop last?
A standard 3D street art session in Cusco typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the initial briefing, sketching out the perspective lines, the painting process, and those all-important finishing touches. If you're looking for something more intensive or have a large group, we can customise the duration to fit your schedule perfectly. Just let us know what you need!
What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?
Cusco’s weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! We have access to several fantastic indoor locations and covered outdoor spaces throughout the city. If the Andean clouds decide to open up, we simply move the creative fun to a dry spot. Your experience won't be dampened by a little rain—we always have a backup plan ready to go!
Can you accommodate large groups or corporate events in Cusco?
Absolutely! We love hosting large groups. Whether it's a corporate team-building event, a large school group, or a massive family reunion, we can scale our workshops to accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'creative zones' to ensure everyone gets hands-on time and plenty of guidance. We can even create a giant collaborative 3D mural!
How does the 3D effect actually work?
The '3D' effect in street art relies on a technique called 'anamorphosis.' This involves distorting the image so that, when viewed from a specific vantage point, it appears to stand up or drop away from the surface. In our workshop, we'll show you exactly how to find those angles and use shadows and highlights to trick the eye. It's a mix of art and maths that looks like magic!
What is your cancellation policy?
Since we've got back-up artists and a highly organised team, we almost never cancel. However, we understand that plans can change. You can generally reschedule or cancel your session with sufficient notice. The best part? We don't require upfront payments, so you can book with confidence and pay after the workshop is completed. We value flexibility because we want your experience in Cusco to be stress-free!
